This is it! Nokia World 2009 is scheduled to kick off in a few hours at Stuttgart, Germany, with the first keynote from Nokia President and CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo scheduled at 9:00 AM CEST (3:00 AM EST).
What are we expecting on Nokia World 2009 as Maemo enthusiasts? Well, for starters, this will be the first time the Nokia N900 will be revealed to the public. We’ve seen videos of the fabulous user interface of the Nokia N900 and this is the time when all the press and tech blogs will start scrutinizing all it’s features.
Andrew Flegg and Tim Samoff, maemo.org Community Council reps will be there to cover the event via Twitter (using #maemo5 and #NW09 tags). We are hoping to relay what ever they see and hear at Nokia World, as well as report on the answers to the questions everyone has been posting for them to ask (it’s not late to add your questions to the list!).
Nokia Maemo Devices marketing head, Peter Schneider, and marketing manager, Jussi Makinen will be there as well. We hope that they will keep tweeting via their N900s.
Good pals Ricky Cadden of Maemo-Guru, Mark Guim of The Nokia Blog, and Rafe Blandford of All About Symbian are also there, so we hope to get reports from them as well.
Lastly, there is this rumor that a big announcement is coming. It’s highly unlikely but hey, we’ll take any good news anytime.
We’re excited, are you?
Very excited: I’m on the Heathrow Express so soon’ll be in the air to join Tim. Nice site, btw!
Keep tweeting Andrew! No sleeping for me tonight as I will be looking at your and Tim’s tweets! Send pics and videos if you can!
