So as a customary, it's time to judge one of the biggest event in the mobilephone and tech world.
To answer to the question I posted hours before the event, whether it will shocked or frustrate, I could say that it say that its 70:30, 70 being shocked and 30 being frustrated, thats about 10% down from the previous year. Why, how, what, where, read on for the details.
HIT SHOCKED
- It’s fair to say that Nokia did an excellent job in the overall presentation, keynotes of speakers were overwhelming, the reactions from the audience, the substantial effort that they put into to make it credible and exciting. The Nokia magic is there and twice potent than the last year. Everyone deserve a pat in the back, congratulations to all.
- Information’s and tidbits being shared every now and then like the number of downloads on Nokia Store per day which have now reached 10million plus is a substantial number that cannot be ignored by competitors. Yes, this will not level up to AppStore yet but with Android, given the fact that Nokia is the only manufacturer that carries it, its a big accomplishment as compared to the former whose downloads comes from phones from different manufactures. If competing manucturers will create there own appStore except the successful Apple Store of course and the dismal Bada app store of Samsung, can it surpass Nokia Store?
- Nokia coming up with a very competitive powerful smartphones is a big hit specially that it targets areas where the company is strongest. The entry level and midtier market with the stylish, affordable yet no compromise Asha line up. I really like the looks of the Nokia Asha 303. It's something refreshing and fun. The rest of the Asha line up brought a unique combination of features and specs that were suited to peoples varied needs. I also like the effort of Nokia to bring outstanding applications like Angry birds down to S40 devices. This would mean that Nokia gave importance to the majority of the smartphone buyers, the mass market.
- The Nokia Kenetic is superlative and very promising. It is a phone with flexible screen display and can be controlled by bending, twisting and squeezing the phone. The guys over at Nokia Conversations created a video about it which I embedded below. Watch and see how this technology can change mobility in the future. Impressive technology!
- Nokia Purity Stereo Headsets with Monster inside is a welcome development. Being a music lover since birth, I would love to hear them loud, crisp and clear on my mobilephone via an outstanding stereo headset develop by one of the leading companies in headset technology.
- And speaking of Music, who would ever missed the newest service that brings a seamless and unlimited access to millions of songs, the Nokia Music. Its an application on the Nokia Windows Phone that integrates features like Mix Radio and Gig Finder under one application. What I like in this app is its ability to download a playlist online and play it afterwards offline then play everything by just one click on the Windows Phone tile, super convenient I would say.
MESS FRUSTRATION ;(
- As you've notice, I haven't mentioned about the Lumia line up on the Hit Lists, thats because I find it a little disappointing. First and foremost, Nokia failed to come up with a hardware design that is unique to the line up. For instance, the Lumia 800 is a copy cat of Nokia N9 and the Lumia 710 resembles that of a Nokia 603. As much I like Nokia N9's design and craft which I by the way regarded as the most beautiful smartphone to date, Lumia 800 is just a mere copy and I dislike the thought. The reason why I hate iPhone was that they keep on coming with the same looks over and over again as if there stupid minds wont innovate, I hope Nokia won't fall on the same category. Nokia would have come up with another design that is exclusive to the line up.
- I would have love to see the Nokia N8 successor take the center stage. Well the phone is unparallelled to date as the imaging King but I would love to see more evolution on camera phones. A Windows Phone carrying one maybe?
- I'm still waiting for the announcement of additional Nokia services like movies to be sold via Nokia store or another application but it didn't materialize. Entertainment package would have been complete with this service addition together with Nokia Music and the Xbox Live. Nokia also needs to expand their existing Nokia Store services to other countries like a paid application offering for Philippines maybe?
- Tablet-less. I'm routing to buy one to add to my gadget collection but Nokia haven't created one yet. I might not be able to wait a little longer, they have to move fast.
So, there you go folks, my grade for this years Nokia World. Hopefully Nokia could come up with a better one next time. How about you? What grade will you give to the recently concluded Nokia World 2011? Feel free to comment below!
