Thats it for my post on Nokia World 2010. The event was closed by the incoming CEO, Stephan Elop. Nokia World 2010 saw the introduction of some brand new mobile devices and improved developer tools. Over the two days of this event it was visited by over 5,000 people who include operators, developers, business partners and media personal.
With the dust settling down on the event, all eyes will shift to the outcome, Will the new Symbian^3 devices boost Nokia back to the top of the mobile world? or Will Apple, Google and the soon to be released Windows Phone 7 rule the roost the year ahead. The judgment is in the hands of the public.
