Weekend Watch: Adam Giles unboxes the Nokia Lumia 710
Here’s Adam Giles from Nokia. You might remember him most from his N8 demoes last year, especially that really cool 8 minute feature where he brilliantly clarifies what the features as opposed to just reeling them off. Shame we didn’t see that video on TV.
Adam was at Nokia World 2011 demoing the Nokia Lumia 710 and a couple of days ago he was at Nokia house doing an unboxing.
Was anyone there at the Nokia World 2011 party? You might have seen some of Adam’s incredible moves on the stage. These are the kind of guys (hopefully some girls too, ya know, just to be equal and all) we want at the face of Nokia demoing Nokia products. Real Nokia staff who know about the Nokia products, but can present it really, really well. (Crickey, remember that N8 demo video, one of the first ones that was very cringe worthy? Yeah the guy wasn’t a presenter but one of the guys in charge, but still a lot of the blogosphere poked fun at the lack of professionalism in an official Nokia demo).
More folks like Adam Giles and Chanse Arrington. Do you have any favourite Nokia staff to present Nokia products? (I also liked the French Nokia guy, Jean Fourgeaud but he moved on since the N97 to do other things, and is now I think currently at Rovio).

“Do you have any favourite Nokia staff to present Nokia products?”
My favourite is Marko Ahtisaari and his Nokia N9 presentation!
he’s my favourite too,
it’s a shame Nokia chose to throw N9/ meego away when it could have been the next blockbuster! it’s like elop got nervous and chose to go to mommy rather than play with their strength.
I liked the woman for the first 710 video who lampshaded the silly names for the colours and called them what they were.
BTW, I know this has been answered before, but what’s the tune in the background?
Hello *,
I have seen in the N8 video and who ever the fuck in blogosphere poked a fun at him/ her is a looser. he lookes so pationate so knowledgable and smart… I know him these guys sud be talkin more about the products… This guys are young ones we the younger lots can connect to them… watch the video ha is so cool yet pationate about the product my favs are:
1. Anssi Vanjoki(in 2010 Nokia world his statement developers forget fragmentation/ we invented smartphone when people could hardly say the word smartphone) love the man.
2. Adam Giles: yes he is young he is a passionate Nokian, nokia make that guy appear more in official communication do not loose him u need pationate young people not old bones.
3. Kevin Shields: the awessssome man.
4. Dean Patrick.
5. Marko Arthisaari
6. Stephen Elop.
I want the next nokia camera flagship to be launched by Damian Dinning, just like marko spoke with so much passion on N9 coz he created it damian can speak on the camera let the designers speak with their passion and hearts out….. i really like Elop that man knows as a CEO how to call other people on stage how to share the spot light
I also want DD to introduce it.
hey sorry i got that him/ her stuff sorry hey @jay can u edit that bro…
Bing shows an article that windows 8 will get KINECT on laptops at least through ASUS. Might we see KINECT on windows phones in future?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see elements of it slowly introduced. Certainly voice control on both Windows Phone and Kinect can be improved. I’d also like to see a Kinect back camera supported just to see what the dev community can come up with.
Marko Arthissari and Kevin Shields are my favourites
@under $300, lumia 710 is good value for money, although it’s got a lot of competition from rival platforms too. never thought i’d say this, but lumia 710 @$300 sounds better than 800 @$600 although they are vastly different class of products
