S60 Open to new features

Well it's 1am and I'm finally back in my hotel up here in White Plains. What an amazing bunch of people I met tonight! WoW!! I had so many great conversations with some many fantastic individuals, I think next time we need to reserve an entire weekend instead of just an evening.

The Nokia Flagship store in New York shut down early at 5pm. The store staff were extremely friendly and did a stellar job getting everything set up and accommodating our needs. We opened the doors at 6pm, guests trickled in till about 7pm. Darla Mack promised she'd be there early but was one of the last to arrive cause she was shopping! LOL!

As everyone entered, I welcomed them and gave them two cards, one for their nametag, the other to go in a bag for the "mystery prize" to be given out at the end. The device showcase was located on the first floor, the bar was on the 2nd floor, the Verttu lounge on the 3rd, meanwhile the caterers were going around serving food.

About 7:10 we cut the music and grabbed the mic. Dan Shugrue welcomed everyone and introduced all the Nokia staff. I then grabbed the mic, said a few words about S60.com and the S60 Blogs. Then announced Dean Andrews' (author of "101 Smartphone Techniques") new S60 blog, "Business2G0". Dean then said a few words then the event continued, I think the last person left around 9:30. The big mystery prize for the night was a new N95!! Congrats to Alan for winning!

It was such a great night and I didn't want it to end. I have alot more to write but I'm dead tired, I'll continue tomorrow! Until then, enjoy the photos from the event from our Flickr Group.
