See into S60

December 19, 2007 Good and bad news... Posted by Phil Schwarzmann at 12:18 PM | Categories: Commentary

Hey all! I come bearing both good and bad news - It brings me great sadness to announce that I have accepted new challenges within the company and will be leaving the S60 blogs. It has been an *amazing* past couple years with you all here on the blogs. We've seen the number of blogs grow to 18 total, we've seen the number of readers grow rapidly each and every month, and we've seen the diversity of our readers spread all around the world.

The goal was to give each author complete ownership of their blog, breaking the barriers between company and consumer while aiming to provide you with their unbiased and unfiltered thoughts. The conversations we've had have been intriguing and the feedback you've provided about our products and services have been absolutely essential to us. I think I've achieved my initial goals, and can't thank you all enough for your participation and continued support in the S60 community.

Fortunately I won't be going far. On January 1st I begin my new role as "eMarketing Manager, Internet and Applications". I'll remain working very closely with S60 and the community, both online and offline, which I'm really looking forward to. And I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on my activities on my Jaiku channel, so please join that if you haven't already. Which leads me to our next big piece of good news…

Beginning January 1st, my good friend and colleague, Saara Bergström, will be taking over responsibilities of the S60 Blogs. I am with sincere honesty when I say that there couldn't be a better individual for the role. Saara has been working closely with the S60.com and the community for the past year and is highly knowledgeable and passionate about S60, she will no doubt do a stellar job. She'll have a blog post coming soon in her own words, and I plan to release a Voice of S60 podcast interview with her so she can tell you more about herself and her vision for the blogs.

So please join me in welcoming Saara to the S60 Blogs!!
