S60 Open to new features

Last Thursday night was our third "An Evening with S60", this time located at the Nokia Flagship Store in Helsinki, Finland...and I wasn't there!!!! After weeks of heavy planning and preparation and anticipation, my flight from the Baltimore to New York (with connecting flight to Helsinki) was canceled due to storms and even tornadoes on the east coast!!

Needless to stay I was quite upset with the whole situation (actually first I was angry and cursing, then scared, then sad, then depressed). The earliest I could get rebooked wasn't until 7am the next day due to all the other cancellations that day, so I didn't make it back to Finland until the morning after the event. :-(

So my sincere apologies to everyone who'd attended, I know that many of us had plans to individual plans to meet and discuss things. But the night was a huge success, close to 50 guests were in attendance and the S60 crew was well represented. Everyone I had talked to had a great time and all said they met some great people and had some very interesting conversations.

But here's the worst thing about me not arriving in time - I had some cool giveaways with me!! We just printed up new S60 Blog long sleeve t-shirts!! Check'em out below. On the front they say "What's in your phone?" and on the back it says "S60 Open to New Features" and "blogs.s60.com" written below. I think they're pretty cool. Originally I was going to write "Got S60?" on the front, then Dan Shugrue made fun of me cause that saying is "so last decade", so Darla Mack had come up with "What's in your phone?" (thanks Darla!!)

Also, I have a bunch of Nokia BH-900 and BH-800 Bluetooth headsets with me (mostly BH-900's) and Nokia AD-42W Wireless Audio Gateways, all courtesy of Jussi-Pekka Erkkola from the Nokia Multimedia team (thanks JP!!). There was supposed to be one of these and a shirt in every goodie bag! But fear not, I have all the info of the people who went Thursday night, I'll be contacting each of you for your address and shirt size. I can't promise I'll have exactly which accessory you want, but you can e-mail me with your requests, first come first served (phillip dot schwarzmann at nokia dot com)

Even though I don't have much to say about the night's happenings, plenty of others do...

- The Blue Nile has some great photos.

- Jake from S60TV has reviews here, here and a special mini site here.

- Tommi has his checklist here.

- Ricky from Symbian Guru has info here as well.

- And there's tons of photos at our Flickr page. If you have any photos from the evening, please please please take a second and transfer them to our s60online group!

And here's Heidi welcoming everyone...

Beautiful. Question is... how do I get my hands on one of those t-shirts?

Better than the "100 Million shipped" shirts we got in Chicago, by a mile!

E-mail me if you want one! We got S, M, XL (yes, no L, don't ask. They're kinda cut small, I'm usually a L but XL was perfect for me)

Heh, yeah. These blog shirts were supposed to be ready in time for Chicago. So you got the 100 million shipped instead. :-)

Ok, I forgive Nokia for giving us such a crap gift bag now that I have your explanation... ;)

Haven't gotten any email from you, I'll drop you a line to get a shirt. Would've been great in Singapore at Nokia Connection and ConnectAsia.
