Nokia World 2011 Speakers
The current speakers at Nokia World 2011 are as follows:
1) Stephen Elop. It’s his second Nokia World, appearing last year. But it’s his first time as CEO (he was technically ‘jobless’ as he mentioned last time.
2) Jo Harlow – EVP, Chief of smartphones. The N9 should already be available by October 26th. New device announcement though: First Windows Phone, possibly the Belle devices that have passed FCC? She is also the 7th Most influential Woman in Wireless for 2011.
3) Mary McDowell – More S40 phones? Mary is in charge of Nokia’s push for the next Billion.
4) Michael Halbherr – looks pretty different here to his photo on Nokia main site. Head of locations and commerce unit including NAVTEQ. I wonder what cool locations/maps stuff we’ll see?
5) Ilari Nurmi – Met Ilari last year when he was head of Eseries. He is now VP Product Marketing. That’s awesome as my Q&A to him was about marketing related stuff. 
His immediate boss then I guess is Ms Jerri DeVard, the EVP and Chief Marketing Officer.
6) Blanci Juty – Head of product Marketing, Nokia Mobile phones, part of the team to enable the next billion to get online.
7) Samuli Hänninen – Product Marketing across Nokia services.
Charmain Eggberry – What a cool last name. Ms Eggberry was previously employed by RIM, maker of BlackBerry.
9) Marco Argenti – VP, Developer and Market Place at Nokia.
This may still change.
Here’s the agenda. No exact details yet of who is speaking and when. We can guess Mr Elop will start the show (possibly with the awesome Mark Selby hosting).
Tip: Attend keynotes for developers. It’s extremely difficult when you just HAVE to be there on the floor getting hands on videos for posting, but if you’re not there to bring news, you might get some freebies.
As noted before, the venue is the same as last year.
ICC London ExCeL (East Entrance)
One Western Gateway
Royal Victoria Dock
London
E16 1XL
Hotels disappear pretty quick a month before the event. If you know you’re going, book ASAP. Don’t trust the hotel WiFi.
Current registration fee is about 695 EUR if done early, 995 EUR after. That’s a bit pricey though I think Open Mobile Summit is something like twice that. Most Nokia related bloggers tend to have a ‘free ticket’ from Nokia.
That’s all we know for now. Note the Qt Developer Day in MUNICH (24th – 26TH) which clashes with Nokia World.

The team who destroys Nokia
Exactly. Why don’t they fire that Harlow guy, she hasn’t ever done anything good at Nokia.
If I recall correctly, Jo Harlow is a woman.
The only Nokia Speakers I am looking forward to hearing are the Play 360 Bluetooth NFC speakers.
Where is the person who launched the N9 in Singapore, is he not one of the top guys?
Do you mean Marko Ahtisaari? No, he is not mentioned above.
Yeah thats the fellow. He seemed decent enough at Singapore. He has probably been cast aside by Elop if he was involved with MeeGo and the N9.
Seems Elop does not want anything to do with the N9.
Look at that great man!
My second favorite CEO, look at that smile! That’s a smile that says: “I won’t disappoint!” And I’m sure he won’t.
Mr. Elop, I want a Fukushima to seem like a microwave oven radiation compared to what you cause!
Wave your hand and drop the Symbian sales to 9 million, you can do it, I’m sure of it!
Drop the feature phone sales to 60 million… I believe in you Elop!
You too Jo Harlow, you haven’t disappointed before and I’m sure you won’t disappoint again, after all, you aim to please!
Shine on you crazy diamonds!
To help them, let me tell you why you should go out and buy an iPhone or an Android…
Symbian: DEAD! No developer bothers with this platform, Belle devices don’t look very nice, there won’t be an N8-01, the N8-00 successor, cameras are reserved for WF7, so there is no reason to go with Symba. Do you really want to take a chance again? Where is your N8 update? And Android will come down in price.
MeeGo: This was dangerous, this had potential but thank you Mr. Elop, you eliminated this danger swiftly and effectively, MeeGo is basically irrelevant, N9 is an experiment, are you millionaires to waste 500+ euros on a phone with no future at all?
WF7: Won’t help anything, Mango won’t save anything. It does not have the features and freedom of customization to attract Symbian and Android users, it does not attract iOS users, the Metro UI attracts almost nobody. Windows Fail 7, is a FAIL! WF7 N9 will tank.
S40: This will be masked as a “smartphone” to help with the sales… considering the fierce competition from the Chinese brands and Sammy, this will not do well either.
So yea, there you go.
Yeah… Elop is really smart.
He delayed the unveiling of the N9, pushing it to coincide with the yearly scheduled Apple iPhone launches around June-July…
But what he didn’t foresee was that Apple would also delay their iPhone launch to a later date.. So what’s the solution? First was to announce that you would abandon Meego, and then deliberately delay the launching and shipping of the N9, maybe hoping to try to coincide again with the iPhone launch in a later date, you know, maybe second time’s the charm…
ya forgot teh sea ray n9wannabee.
Yeah, also redirect most of the manpower to manufacturing “Sea Ray N9wannabee” instead of the other original flagship phone…
they should have done as samsung did and stop waiting, doesnt flop have the balls to sell a device such as the n9? hes so in love with wp it sickens me he is a true trojan. i have no grudge on wp7 from what ive seen it probably has as much potential to be like symbian but not now..in 3-4 years. so ill probably buy a phone in 2012 when the sgs3 with ice cream is out and the iphone 5S and MAYBE nokia will have someting interesting to offer.
He is a Microsoft trojan, because there is no rational reason for Nokia not to sell N9 (and N950) as much as they can and guarantee MeeGos future. Nokia is making losses and needs money badly. They need to sell anything that can sell. The rational thing for Nokia would be to market N9/N950 hard and sell many millions of it. People really want it. Even the iPhone lovers. At the moment Nokia has no other really interesting phone to sell. N9 would be a big hit if Nokia would just commit to it and the future of MeeGo, so that N9/N950 customers would know their phone isn’t some one time experiment.
WP7 phones won’t come until Q4 and then it’s just one poor generic WP7 that’s not even made by Nokia but Compal. So it’s next year that the real Nokia WP7 phones will come to market. That’s a lot of time with no real money making phone in the market. It’s absolutely insane and poor business for Nokia not to sell N9/N950 seriously. Bringing N9 properly to market Nokia would have something that is guaranteed to make lots of money right now. From Q3 onwards and not from Q4 or probably more like from 2012 onwards as with WP7. That would be a sound business decision.
And it doesn’t matter to Nokia whether they sell N9 or WP7. From both Nokia will still get the bottom line, money. (In fact Nokia will probably get more money from MeeGo because they don’t have to pay $15 license fee like they do with WP7.) Only Microsoft will be affected if it’s N9/N950 that Nokia is selling instead of WP7. Microsoft only gets money from WP7 and don’t want MeeGo to succeed and possibly take sales from WP7. That’s why it’s rational not to sell N9 properly ONLY if you are actually working for Microsoft. And Elop is doing just that. He’s making sure that N9/N950/MeeGo won’t become a hit and thus become a threat to WP7, when it is actually in Nokia’s interest that N9/N950/MeeGo becomes a hit. MeeGo’s success would be Nokia’s success. But MeeGo’s success isn’t Microsoft’s success. It would most likely be Microsoft’s loss. Being a Microsoft trojan Elop is making sure N9/N950/MeeGo doesn’t threaten WP7 and Microsoft. He won’t market and sell N9/N950 properly. He is only committed to WP7 and in such a crazy way that Nokia doesn’t even have a plan B! How that is in Nokia’s interest is beyond me. Without any backup, if WP7 flops, Nokia will most likely die. But with MeeGo Nokia would still have an OS that could make money for them, if WP7 flops.
You must be eldar
I bet that Elop will be the one to personally unveil and/or demo WP Sea Ray…
Hope so!
My bet is on him too!!!
Maybe another bet on Elop acting negative on meego.
Exactly – Elop washed his hands of the N9, and we saw that in Singapore when it wasn’t even top of the events of launch billing.
Come the first WP7 device he will try claim all the glory. Just like he did with that video ‘leak’ of him and the N9 wannabe running Windows – what an amazing piece of kit that was not!! Just like any other WP7 phone.
Elop, Harlow et al are a bunch of losers who are going to run Nokia to the status of an ‘also ran’.
Elop should have the cohones to put some faith back into the N9 – for the long term sake of the company, instead of focusing on his own WP7 glory.
i really like cod3rror. The guy is the star of this blog… And of course i like Elop and his lovely team… cod3rror could you tell me what is your favorite CEO? I always thought Elop is the man!
Well, cod3rror is in fact a really hard working troll xD Anyway, I’m excited to see how NW will turn out this year in particular. Have this feeling it will be packed with news, and I dare to hope some good news for a change
he’s not trolling he’s telling the truth
Nope. When you keep telling the same thing that everyone on this blog has heard already, you’re trolling, simple as that.
that’s not TROLLING MAN
Well, at least he’s trying to agitate and annoy people. Close enough.
Unfortunately, based on the proportion of his comments, cod3rror does seem somewhat to be ‘trolling’.
Without fail he’s on pretty much every post casting shrouds of negativity on everything to do with Nokia. He’s on some mission to promote his iPhone and cast shit on everything Nokia. Even N9 posts.
“If you have a Symbian phone you don’t need any third party games, using the phone is the game itself, the game of never ending maze of menus and submenus.”

That’s just one of many examples where not discussing the content of the post, there’s comments of hate.
Somewhat constant negativity in our comments that I’ve let through for the sake of open, uncensored discussion.
However, in instances where he discusses also his hate for Elop and Windows Phone, because your opinions agree with his in that sense, then in these instances he must me telling the truth. The only time the N9 is seen in a positive light is when it can be used against Elop, as another mark to why he’s a failure.
He knows he’s here to antagonize people. He’s so famous, he’s somewhat inspired anticlones of himself. Readers have asked repeatedly to ban him (lol and ninja). But I am not one for censorship.
The worst thing is that cod3rror is NOT actually a born iPhone twat as some readers have called him. He used to be a Nokia fan. Real interest in Symbian, MeeGo, Nokia and then turned. I’ve always said no one else can hate Nokia more than a scorned fan. Sometimes in frustration I sympathise with him, to see such a great company bend over in 2008, in 2009, in 2010 to competition.
To everyone in general, after years of being a fan of Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, Nokia and doing everything to thwart the movement of Microsoft into the mobile space (and possibly other areas as MS is ‘evil’), it’s of course understandable that such a move by Nokia to shift their entire focus to Microsoft will appear to be the worst thing they could ever do. Right now, there is nothing to show for all the talk of new directions except the interim effects of turning 180. Come mid 2012 we’ll see if this long-term decision was right or wrong.
So, a scored Nokia fan turn iFan is the motivation to come and post on pretty much every post to just be negative about Nokia. Being an iFan alone won’t do it.
The converts, whether it’s religion or anything else, are always the most fanatical and absolute/unconditional in their opinions and beliefs.
I think like me as generally user, i will use the right hand phone for my daily use. At the moment Nokia is very disappointing, with only N8 is looking good. My wife just changed her N97 to Iphone 4 and she is extremely happy with it. My N8 end up in Nokia Service Center more than 4 months since i bought it last October, and as today it still in service center ! If Apple able to come out AMOLED screen, bigger battery and better camera, i will immediately abandon my Nokia Phone and go for Apple !! Nokia Windows phone is too late and not suit my needs and i don’t the interface.
as for cod3rror, i think he has right to say or manipulate what he think is good for him, but we, as the end user, will select the right phone to suit our interest.
Yeah, he’s funny. Everyone here knows him…
xe xe xe, who is my favorite CEO? Come on… I’ll give you a hint, a true visionary, a man of genius, a man with true passion, the man that revolutionized the world and the whole computing industry, the man that revolutionized the mobile phone industry.
A visionary, a genius, a man of passion, are you getting it?
Elop? Ballmer?
Jobs isn’t just a CEO, he is the founder of the company. People tend to be at their best when doing something own. It’s about being passionate about creating something new and unique, which drives them to found the company in the first place. Other guys are just on payroll.
i find that n9 team ui is excellent but the theme and icons design is still worse than ios.
Mark Selby awesome? You have some kind of a grandpa fetish, you kinky you Jay!
:p
I’ve always said he’s awesome. Has an epic voice perfect for eBooks.
Yeah, I’m sure what they’re going to be saying to developers will be pre-tty awkward.
It can’t not be.
What are they going to say to their current developers?
‘Develop for Symbian! Qt! Oh, by the way, our main platform is Windows Phone, so maybe you should talk to Microsoft, probably…
….did we mention our S40 dumbphones…..?’
Why don’t Elop just scream developers, developer, developers developers…. just like Ballmer??
Elop is the weirdest CEO ever.
Nokia World, I think, is on its last legs.
Besides the fact that Nokia is definitely a company in rapid decline…
Once you don’t own your main software platform, holding an annual event on just your hardware is pretty slim pickings, as they say.
+1
Good point, they are just a hardware manufacturer now, an OEM, what’s the point of Nokia world? They don’t even have any really special devices to show. A whole show for S40 phones, mid tier, extinct Symbians and a WF7 N9?
Save your budget for more sand castles Nokia, just release press releases and commercials.
Whats the point? Are they just hardware? S40?
OMG… you´re a true 110% TROLL
Well afaik they still have symbian for some years ahead.. but if you say its just an hardware manufacturer..ok.. keep trolling. We need some clowns in here from time to time
.
You are right more than you are wrong. You are the voice of reason.
as a canadian i’m ashamed of elop…….llooks like money still can’t teach you good shit
the market they are trying to crack is on the verge of default. Lmao.
budget cap issues will bring not just USA or china or my country mexico to the knees but the world at large LMAO that.
I can already hear what they talk about:
“Windows Phone, operating system blaablaa… Easy to use, Metro UI, tiles, design blaa blaa… Microsoft partnership blaaa… Microsoft software licence, Nokia hardware, Windows Phone, dedicated, main smartphone OS blaa… Ecosystem this, ecosystem that blablaablaa… Microsoft blaablaa… North America, customers, market blaa…
Zune, Bing, social networks, Xbox, Office, integration blablaa… Nokia Maps to all Windows Phones, advertizing, customers, location based blaa… Microsoft software development blaa… Developers, tools, apps, marketplace blaa blaa… Microsoft blabla… Mango, 500 new features, interactive tiles, multitasking blablablabla… Microsoft blaablaa…
Windows Phone, third ecosystem, Microsoft blablabla… Nokia Windows Phone, plan, transition, future, commitment, no plan b, WP only, Microsoft, Microsoft blabla… Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft not buying Nokia…blaa blaa blaa…
…And no other MeeGo phones will be released even if N9 is the next Jesus phone and the biggest hit ever, outselling all the iPhones and Androids. Windows Phone will be our smartphone platform and there won’t be any plan B. We are only committed to Microsoft and WP7.
exactly
it is absolutely the case
You forgot DEVELOPERS!!! DEVELOPERS!!! DEVELOPERS!!! DEVELOPERS!!!…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE
I just love that vid.
and disruptions bla
ha ha ha..
this mad me for a day.
ha ha… I cant stop laughing on how funnily you said the hard truth…
Infact now no one can save Nokia. It is destroyed beyond repair! Microsoft blahblah…
Thank you very much for such a funny comment:D
this is exactly what that ugly trojan horse Elop is going to say:)))
Elop, “Microsoft is our Saviour, beautiful Windows phone OS blablabla. MS is buying Nokia… oops… who said that? o_O”
It’s funny because its true.
@Cocco Bill
I know…
It defies logic why a WP & MeeGo plan couldn’t have been devised.
Heck, Samsung (fastest growing handset maker) juggles three!
basically all talk and no delivery. if it were apple, it would be new phone bam! and in stores next week. elop will unveil sea ray and he will say available next year. so much for your Greeeeaaat carrier solutions you are bringing in NOKout
I’m sure some people will be hoping Elop could still become “technically jobless” for this Nokia World as well.
Yes? Somebody called?
the round edged, squarish pic borders(taken from n9 icons) looks like windows.
I don’t understand only one thing!
Where are Andre’s posts about How to make Windows Phone usable, how to hack it, get access to the file system, how to make mass storage available on any WP device, etc. maybe with video tutorials eh?
Partly my fault as I meant to write up my own piece on WP but delayed (doing lots of house redecorating currently).
thnks Jay, waiting for any WP hacker’s manual impatiently.
Better check out XDA then, there will always be more info on hacking there than there will be over here.
cod3rror you dissapointed me – Jobs is boring. Yes, he is a brilliant CEO and apparently truly loves Apple… If he became Nokia CEO most probably Nokia would be flying again in a few years time… But… That is boring – i sense little dark side
while elop is a true master of evil – he is a honey badger of all CEOs – he simply does not give a shit neither for company, nor for customers, nor for profit… He is relentless and his passionate – the Nokia is simply being eaten alive 
even if windows phones will be succsesful they are exactly the opposite of nokia smartphones that used to be… There is simply no more independent european cell phone makers – silicon valey destroyed the last opposition. Siemens, erricsson and nokia are all dead…
MS destroyed Qt in the process. Visual studio is the main language used by progammers therefore giving windows an edge.
MS has no grip on Qt.
The nok deal gives too much to Ms.
So you choose the logic
1) Ms cunning
2) Nokia stupid
3) Nokia killed Ms in it’s last lifetime and so at present, deserved the bad karma.
