Nokia Connect is in full swing and first on the agenda is redefining the company’s mobile strategy. The Nokia C2-02, C2-03, C2-06 and N9 are just the tip of the iceberg for the Finnish giant.
Nokia’s new strategy begins with its commitment to Series 40 through the trio of C2 launches. In July, Symbian Anna will debut as Nokia N8s, E7s, C7s and C6-01s will ship pre-loaded with the latest build. By the end of August existing owners will be able to download the update.
If three handsets and a launch date for Symbian Anna were not enough, Nokia will release 10 new Symbian-based smartphones over the next 12 months. Arguably the N9 stole the show at Nokia Connect, but the bigger story is Qt framework.
The launch of the N9 will help drive new innovation and inspire developers to build more powerful Qt apps. There’s more than 100 million Nokia Qt devices worldwide. Realizing this massive install base, Nokia believes this will make Qt core to building applications that connect the next billion users to the Internet.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering Nokia is still on track to release a Windows Phone device in 2011 and promises large scale production in 2012.
