Anyone going to Symbian Smartphone Show?
General
- August 7th, 2006
Me and a couple of my Nokia colleagues are thinking about going to the Symbian Smartphone Show.
What about you?

It would be great to see you there - if you can make it for the preceding evening as well, you can be guests of honour (kind of) at the free AllAboutSymbian pre-show pub meeting!

What about inviting couple of blog commenters there? E.g. the most active commenter, the most creative commenter and/or the randomly selected one. Would it be a wise investement?
I should be coming along. I hope there’ll be some interesting announcements like last year’s P990 and E-series. Fingers crossed!
Steve, thanks for invitation! I think we’ll join, but we’ll still wait for the detailed agenda, before deciding which days to participate the show.
Artem, sure - welcome everybody! Unfortunately, I have a zero budget for blogging, not to speak of paying flight tickets blog commenters… If somebody from Nokia wants to pay, please drop me an email
Well, my idea was not that much about this concrete show, but rather about one more general way to recognize external people who provide great ideas. Several times you told that some commenters’ ideas can be used to create even greater Nokia application. If some idea really pays of, it’d nice to recognize such an input and encourage others to participate.
On the budget side, you could try teaming up with Forum Nokia Champion program. It looks like you both work on the same assignment, just from the different sides
Yes, I’m going. Interestingly, even though I’ve registered on the web site and received a confirmation email, I still keep getting invitations in the mail. Why spend money posting me these things when I’m already signed up, show organiser?
Please accept our apologies if the show marketing emails and brochures are causing irritation. We deliberately don’t remove the people who have already signed up because… (1) It improves conversion - it’s surprising how many people sign up and then forget about it. (2) The emails in particular contain informative content and updates - see post by Tommi Vilkamo RE: agenda. (3) we work with a number of show partners who help us market the event - it is usually not possible to remove the pre-registered people from their lists, so some overlap is inevitable. For these reasons we prefer to try and make all of our emails informative, and double-up as recruitment AND updates. If you would prefer not to receive further marketing for the show, please contact me and I will suppress you for the duration of the show marketing. If you have any questions; do not hesitate to contact us, in the mean time we look forward to welcoming you to the show. Kind regards.

I’ll be there too. It’ll be good to meet some of the people that i read on the S60 blogs (Both Bloggers and those who leave comments). Is anyone planning to make it to the AllAboutSymbian Pub meet-up the night before the show kicks off.
Unfortunately I will not be able to visit this year. I have to make a biz trip to London in Spetember and travelling 5000 odd miles again is something I’m not keen on doing. I think it will be Ramadan during this peiod which makes it all the more difficult to travel.

Hi Tommi,
I think I’ll be there only on the first day of the conference.
Keep you updated
I would if it was in Lisbon… when do these guys came here?? enjoy.
