Thanks for sharing. We totally understand what you're saying here. It's a constant struggle as we refine the tools we have internally to get ideas to bubble up this way. It's also something great when communicating with customers.

On to our internet services strategy, central to which is Ovi - the new internet services brand that Nokia introduced in mid 2007.Through Ovi.com, people will be able to easily access their existing social network, communities and content, as well as gain access to other Nokia services.People will be able to combine Ovi services as they want to, customize their view and experience of Ovi, and use the service to store their photos and videos online.Some services are already available and in use, and the rollout of the other services is proceeding as planned.

Finally, a word on our company values, which we reviewed and refined during 2007 to reflect changes to our devices business and the way we work:Very human encompasses our actions and behavior in all their aspects and dimensions across the world; including people, the environment and the way we do business. Engaging you is about engaging our customers, our partners, our suppliers, consumers, and our own employees with what Nokia stands for in the world. Passion for innovation is about living dreams, having courage and making the leap into the future through innovation in technology, ways of working and unleashing our passion for understanding the world around us.Achieving together is about reaching out to others to come and join us, to work with us, to share risks and achievements and move into the world of formal and informal networks.

We continue to look for possibilities to reduce the environmental impact of our devices and operations at each stage of the product life cycle. Focus areas include materials used, energy efficiency, and recycling.All Nokia products worldwide are now fully compliant with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). We have also phased out PVC from all Nokia products. In December 2007, we in fact introduced a mobile device whose bio-covers use more than 50 per cent renewable materials (Nokia 3110 Evolve.)Our best-in-class mobile device chargers need just one tenth of the power used by the most common chargers, and in May 2007, we became the first mobile manufacturer to put alerts into devices encouraging people to unplug their chargers. (note: no-load energy refers to the energy used by a charger when it is plugged into the mains but no mobile phone is connected.)Between 65% and 80% of a Nokia mobile device can now be recycled, and we have collection points for recycling used mobile devices and accessories in approximately 85 countries.We are also continuing to invest in finding new and innovative ways that mobile technologies and applications can deliver environmental benefits to help us all reduce our footprint.

With great product volumes comes great responsibility – to our customers, suppliers, employees, society and the environment – and we take this responsibility seriously through a number of policies and programs. For example:Nokia offers more than 60 device features or applications aimed at providing greater accessibility for people with limitations in hearing, speech, vision, mobility and cognition. These included enhanced software for converting text to speech and a pre-installed font magnifiers.We regularly assess labor conditions at our mobile device manufacturing plants and have specific requirements for our suppliers in terms of labor, health & safety, ethics and the environment.On a community level, Nokia was involved in youth development projects in some 20 countries during 2007. These ranged from teaching job skills to young people in Latin America, to providing lesson plans to rural teachers via text messages in the Philippines.

Our supply chain logistics and global distribution network also count as distinct competitive advantages for which Nokia has been widely recognized.In May 2007, Nokia was ranked as the world's number one supply chain by AMR Research in its 2007 report on the top 25 supply chains of manufacturers and retailers.The strength of our supply chain and global distribution is particularly evident by our performance in the final quarter of 2007, when we shipped 133.5 million devices – an unprecedented average of 1.5 million devices per day!

We also hold a competitive advantage through our strong R&D and technological know-how.Nokia has spent more than EUR 30 billion on R&D in the past 15 years, resulting in an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) portfolio of approximately 11,000 patent families.We welcome innovation and openness in research, collaborating with leading universities and institutions around the world.We support mobile developers through communities like Forum Nokia, which has approximately 3.4 million members who have created some 5 400 mobile applications for a variety of Nokia platforms.Finally, with approximately a billion people around the world carrying Nokia devices, we have built up a solid understanding of the user experience and what people want from their mobile devices.

Our deep consumer understanding is another area where we hold a competitive advantage.Over the last four years we have conducted extensive studies of consumers and now have a database of over 12 billion data points regarding people’s attitudes, behaviors and needs in relation to mobile telephony, technology and mobile experiences.We used the data to introduce a renewed category model to drive product development and encourage a fundamental change in the way trade customers and consumers choose and buy our devices — shifting from a product focus to an experience focus.
