The trip to Finland begins!

9AM to 10AM – Asha team: [I’ll add the names once we’re done]

10AM to 11AM – Gear: [I’ll add the names once we’re done]

Current Question logs:

• news about the “next billion” strategy (meltemi, qt, new class of devices)
• if they’ll also put the amazing microphone to the next Lumia models. Is Nokia going to have a suite of good picture and audio quality also in the WP range. Hopefully so, as those things are a synergy plus when put in to the same product. This hasn’t been discussed or mentioned earlier. What I’ve heard is that Lumia is ready for the PV technology some day sooner or later, but as the HQ audio capturing is not a part of PV, will it come with the WP devices too?
• what is happening on the tablet front (if anything).I’d also like to hear about the higher end of the Asha range
• Batch of questions also available from here: http://mynokiablog.com/2012/04/20/what-to-do-in-finland-ideas-for-our-trip-june-4-7-2012/
• I want to know is why they cancelled the Nokia 600 and practically removed all traces of its existence. Not that it was a good device, but still. That stuff doesn’t go unnoticed. Also, why don’t they have global releases for software updates? Its the thing that annoys me the most. Especially since in Australia, many are still waiting for Belle
• Could you ask if there will be more updates to the N9 after PR1.3?
• – Try to get some confirmation, even if semi-official, about the upgradeability of the current Lumia line, at least the 800 and 900 to the upcoming WP8 – they should already know it by now, so put your +5 Diplomacy, +3 Appraisal hat on and try to get something other than `no comment`.
  – As mentioned above, try to get some info on what should we expect from Nokia tablets, especially what system will they run on – Win8 full, WindowsRT, WP8?, some other OS?
  – Do they plan to do inductive charging – imagine an N9 without even an USB port (and no buttons, no moving parts, nothing but a single piece of polycarbonate)!
  – When, if ever, do they plan to update their Maps to include countries that were once covered and then ditched by the Navteq purchase – specifically Serbia in my case but there are a great many number of countries that are still off the list. This is more on a personal note, but it’s a shame that my N95 did better navigating job in my home country 5 years ago (until Nokia suddenly changed the maps provider and then it stopped working, despite being still locally advertised as full Maps & Directions solution), and after all there are maps of Serbia, albeit a bit outdated, on Navteq’s site.
  – 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?
  – Do they have some new designs in pipeline for both WP and non-WP phones, as so far they have been reusing the N9′s and to an extent C7′s design.
  – Do they plan to create full-QWERTY smartphones, regardless of the OS in the future?
  – Will we be seeing their aqua-phobic coatings on their devices anytime soon? What about stretchable electronics?
  – Do they plan to implement the stand-by low-powered screen on their upcoming WP models (provided they are equipped with AMOLED screens, of course)?
  – When is PR1.3 coming for the N9? Rumors say mid June, so they ought to be able to confirm or deny it without risking over-promising.
  – Do they plan to expand on the PV tech by introducing either light-field sensors, or mountable/replaceable optics?
  – How about pico-projectors?
• Where’s the Nokia charger mat?
• Someone could ask about a PureView camera with an optical zoom. It would be great to be able to get one without the phone.
• Ask about future Symbian Updates considering that 808 will go on sale at almost all places .. ? Also one very important thing .. How are they going to make use of the existing ecosystem of Symbian in future i.e. The App Store ? Any plans of putting Meltemi on 701, 700 & 808 in future
• Would it be possible to put Meltemi in the belle phones???
• why the 808 is not being released in Australia even unlocked.
• why nokia 600 cancelled ? , what will be done with meego , next billion/meltemi , about future of symbian after donna/fp2 update and why there has been no more symbian devices released?
• Nokia tablet
• want High spec meego
• Are lumia’s upgradable to WP8, What is the price of PV,where is the nokia tablets,is nokia will make another symbian phone after PV,when FP2 update available is FP2 is the last update in symbian,
•  ask about future smartphones, and to up the spec sheet when compared to rivals.
•  CTOOffice work for the next billion or future disruptions?

Ive noticed that they have hired Linux experts to Oulu not for the Mobile phones division, but CTO Office function.

Regarding Qt: are they happy with the reception of developers towards Qt5. Why is Intel still contributing? How are they going to manage the app situation/availability for Qt as the next billion? Will there (some day) be hero Qt device, not only low end? The following wojld be nice to know, buy it would be politically incorrect to ask: did they have dual core Harmattan in the pipeline before Feb11?

Regarding Harmattan: did they really create
create Swipe from scratch in 8months!?! Givecredits to the team.
