Nokia Questions from MNB Readers

Hey guys, I’ve rounded up your questions from the post:

http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/04/the-trip-to-finland-begins/

There may be some additional ones that still need to be added but here’s what’s going on so far.

Note – I’m already expecting, and quite understandably, a lot of the answers being ‘we can’t comment on future products’ or words to that effect. But whilst we’re here we might as well ask.

‘Basic Smartphones’

• Future of S40/Asha/Meltemi/Qt
• Confirmation of Meltemi
• ETA
• Expectations

MeeGo-Harmattan

• PR1.3 – anymore beyond that
• Was swipe really created in just 8 months
• Nokia’s future with Linux
• Alien Dalvik – Android apps for N9

Symbian

• Why Nokia 600 cancelled?
• Why the naming change of firmware again? FP1/Carla
• Future Symbian device after 808

808/PureView

• Do they plan to release a FCam-like API for the 808 PV so that us developers can tap into the awesomeness of its processing?
• PureView expansion with lightfield?
• Optical Zoom
• Future updates for Symbian past FP1
• Australia?
• Rich recording for older devices

Design/Future stuff:

• New designs, not just N9 style?
• QWERTY monoblock?
• Waterproof phones
• Stretchable phones time frame
• What’s Mr Skillman workin on?
• Tablet – what will they run on?
• ETA tablets?
• How will it be not just any other tablet?
• Dual OS phones

• Pico Projector (or built in)
• Nokia Charging Mat
• Feedback on current headphones
• New campaigns for Nokia Monster Purity
• Sales
• Is the partnership with Monster a long-term? Will Nokia partner with other audio companies such as Sennheiser?

Other

• Nokia staff reaction to what’s going on at Nokia
• Naming convention –  inconsistent
• Actually launching products close to launch – cut down delay

Feel free to add others BELOW and I’ll try my best to cover them later in the day or find someone to ask tomorrow.
