I could not be more happy about this. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine told me about a project currently underway behind the scenes at Nokia that really sounded exciting. “We all know and love S60’s blogs,” he said. “What if Nokia had a similar site that touched upon all of the major areas relating to Nokia?”
Our conversation ended and since then I’ve heard nothing about the project - until last night. An email found its way into my inbox containing access information for a special preview of Nokia’s upcoming site: Nokia Conversations (link not yet live). I finally had some time to browse through it a few moments ago and thusfar I’m very, very happy. Despite the fact that SiMo isn’t one of the blogs they follow (nor is maramine of course, it just launched!), the team behind Nokia Conversations has done a fantastic job putting this site together. Headed by the ever-popular Charlie Schick, Conversations is just what my friend said it would be; the S60 blogs of Nokia.

Company insights, business insights, strategic insights, environmental insights, personal insight; it’s all there. No other handset manufacturer (or internet company) comes close to delivering customer relations experience that Nokia has in place today, and Nokia Conversations is a big step beyond anything we’ve seen before. I’m really not sure how much I’m supposed to reveal at this point, but I will say that the site is currently separated into six main categories:
This will give you a good idea as to the content to be expected from Nokia Conversations. Once launched, the site will give visitors a unique opportunity to interact with many of the minds behind the products and services we all know and love so much. One of the aspects that I’m looking forward to most is the reactive side of the blogs. I hope many of the contributors take some time to give their input with regards to “current events” as they are reported on within the media and blogosphere.
Not all of the links on the site are live yet, but the email I received stated the site would “go live shortly”. Get ready…
