Nokia CEO sketches the plans/offerings to cheer mobile users.

Current and Projected Sales

Projected Cost and Sales Expectations

Per the press release, we can now expect Symbian 4 and Maemo 6 in the middle of 2010. Announcement of a new version release, ahead of completing global launch of Maemo 5 with N900, tells us that Nokia is serious on Maemo. I like the way Nokia addresses the market based on device capability (hardware and software) in terms of economic viability (cost).

In areas where we still need mobile devices below INR 2,000.00, S40 series phones does make sense. Not every body needs the delight of having their phone knowing which direction it is pointed at. The theme is still on emerging markets, which is a great thing, considering the 300 Million active users target that they have.

Mobile Phones…Smart Phones…Mobile Computers

Sony VAIO would get a good competitor. Now that Nokia is looking at a small and compact mobile computer as lucrative as the Netbooks, mobility offerings in the next few years should be very interesting.

We need innovations like what Maemo brings to the table…well…the pocket. I hope Nokia keeps Maemo for their high-end products.
