I'm listening to a keynote by Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President, Services and Software at Nokia World. - Robert Scoble

pretty massive opportunity ... will be interesting to see what is eventually executed - Jonathan Greene

I am not sure at all. It's seems like the old confusion between audience and community. And i am not speaking of the use of phones by Nokia users that is really far away of social graph. - Xavier Moisant

They will ship 300 million phones with GPS by 2010, he says. - Robert Scoble

He's about to show off the new Messaging App. "Our plan is to democratize email." There are hundreds of millions of cell phone users who've never had an email account. - Robert Scoble

I think manufacturers are missing a trick - to get people to sign up to something at purchase - so every single purchaser becomes part of something from the start - Jonathan Hopkins

Mobile social networking has the potential to be bigger than web based social networking. Oh wait, it's the same thing, heh. - jjprojects

Social networking has to be accessible to anyone with any device. I don't pick my friends based on whether they own Nokias or not. - invariant

Users will revolt if this is implemented as "automatic tracking of your calls whether you like it or not". It needs to be 100% optin with strong privacy guards - the privacy should be part of the sales message. - Pierre

but I still think that SE is much better than Nokia . Nokia phones are just popular and they sound good but when you use them you see that they are awful!! - Viva Vida

Davis Fields, Product Manager, says "75% of the world's population has never had an email account." They are doing email on Ovi so that more of those people can get on email. - Robert Scoble

This is what cell phone operators like vodafone have been trying to do for quite a while; hasn't taken off so much. This is a good move by Nokia, but as with everything else depends a lot on execution. If they screw this up, it will affect their handset sales as well. - vijay

Nokia's dream is to own the entire stack. Is it better to roll your own services, or integrate elegantly with those already out there? - David Wolf

400 million units is NOT enough to "create the world's largest connected social graph"... funny. - Susan Beebe

Nokia would be shooting themselves in the foot to think they could own the whole tech stack.. Mobile tech is already too darn proprietary...need more open standards, not more closed solutions. - Susan Beebe

I don't think they think they are going to own the whole stack. It's just that they see an opportunity to get to people that Facebook/MySpace/LinkedIn can't get to. - Robert Scoble

Interesting move... that's an entirely "uncaptured" market. how will they bridge that gap and secure it? - Susan Beebe

400 million clients for Nokia Chat, Ovi & vIne... that'd be interesting to see how it turns out... [sidenote] There's been tons of comparison posts about the N97 & iPhone today... not to sidebar the conversation, but this is important. http://enrique-gutierrez.com/2008... - Enrique Gutierrez

It's like SN audience, only recent active users count, rest is PR. Who's going to really use the services on their handset, that's the real question - Paul Papadimitriou

400 million cell phones of varying functionality, lets not forget that people. as well as e series and n series there is a large section of low end cheap devices that Nokia pushes out - Mauricio Reyes

A "FriendFeed Phone", anyone? - Tyson Key

@Tyson Key: Yes please! - Aaron Eaton

@tyson: nice ;-) if you have a nokia device try out nokia chat and integrate that to IM. You get mobile instant notifications to your mobile and you can interact with FriendFeed via IM. Not perfect but that is a start. - Davide D'Incau

What invariant said above was dead on. Any network has to be open and inclusive, not limited to people who have a particular brand of phone. To that end, Nokia has made Symbian open source, while the AppStore is only available to iphone users. - Mr. Gunn
