DISQUS

Erik C. Thauvin · 1 year ago

Now... Don't let all of that success get to your head. Congrats! ;-)

This is FANTASTIC! Congratulations - and all the best for the new start.

Wow. Russ, this is the best news today. I have been a big fan of your writings since umm... 2003 or 2004 - so long that I can't even remember. And now I hear that you might be working in the very same team as I do (the Beta Labs initiative I'm heading is under "Innovation Acceleration" organization).

Welcome!!!!

Ps. our "electronic communications policy" and blogging guidelines are very open and sensible (send me an email if you can't find them). I'm sure you won't have a problem here...

Pps. please start a Nokia internal blog too, I want to hear your thoughts also about things you can't discuss in public!!

Erik got there first :)

ludo · 1 year ago

Wow congrats! I only wonder what took them so long to realize you were a good match for them.

Vitor Pereira · 1 year ago

That's great news both for you and Nokia, congrats!

Max Ischenko · 1 year ago

Cool. Hope to see N810 + GSM real soon now. ;) (Nokia can't ship S60 Touch? Com'on!)

Congrats! The right person at the right job! Now force a few executives of Nokia to use an iPhone for at least one weekend , before announcing another crappy "new" Nokia mobile phone again!

Mark Douglass · 1 year ago

Best of luck at the new position, Russ!

Constantine · 1 year ago

Welcome to the club, hope to see you around Nokia House one of these days!

scharlau · 1 year ago

Congratulations! I'm sure that you'll do good there, and will be able to focus, as you say on the longer term trends in mobile. One thing that would be cool to see again, would be some comparisons of what you predicted five years ago, and where we are now. Might be sad to see how little we've come, but might also be good to see how far we've gone in other areas. Anyways, congrats and good luck with the job.

Great news mate, been following your blog on and off since you had an Nokia 6600. From what ive read in your blogs id say youve landed your perfect job

juhani · 1 year ago

Sounds like a very interesting position, congrats! And welcome to the family :-)

Here's the "official unofficial" company blog (with some cool news for today), maybe you should ask to become a guest blogger?

holy shit, what great news! been reading your blog ever since i read your review on the 6230 back in 2004 (which i'm still rocking out, btw). hopefully, this makes all those hard times that you've gone through over the past few years worthwhile...
congrats!

Congrats Russ!

IWhenever you might be visting Finland, let's meet again.

antonypranata · 1 year ago

Congratulations Russ... and good luck! I think you are the best candidate for the position.

Btw, I am an ex-Nokian. :)

I am not sure about the latest blog policy from Nokia; but I know that they encourage their employees to contribute to the blogosphere. Just do discuss "sensitive things". One time, I got "warning" from my boss about one of my blog postings.

rhymo · 1 year ago

Congrats!! Part of Bob Iannucci's office? The future of the Mobile Gateway! Wow... what a job! looks like Nokia is getting some nice talent in lately ;-)

Jonathan · 1 year ago

Rock on! Best of luck Russ! Looking forward to seeing your impact on the company

ianbetteridge · 1 year ago

Nice one! Congratulations, Russ!

Russ · 1 year ago

Hey All,

Thanks for the congrats - if you emailed me on my Nokia account, I should have responded.

I just corrected my title... I just noticed I wrote "technical" not "technology".

I got *a bunch* more comments, but for some reason Disqus isn't showing them - I got them via email alerts though. Very strange.

Thanks again!

-Russ

DarlaMack · 1 year ago

Wow... now how cool is that!!! Congrats Russ and all the best!

mikestrock · 1 year ago

Congrats Russ. I'm really happy for you. Sounds like a good place to work, and I'm sure it's nice to have some benefits (like a salary) again.

paulsweeney · 1 year ago

Yes, just adding the voice to the chorus. Might be interesting to hear if your blogging, or blog following, was in any way important in the review process for Nokia.

wenjiafang · 1 year ago

Hi, Russ,

great news! Congrats. It would be easier to find you as we now work for the same company--- I'll be visiting Palo Alto office of Nokia then.

Congrats!

I've heard it said that Nokia has only been successful building capabilities for others to innovate on. Hopefully this team will help build Nokia's own ability to innovate. Good luck!

bpannier · 1 year ago

Welcome to the company!

I was reading your blog for a while until last year, I was wondering what do you do now. So and how suprising you joined the company now... enjoy it!

Bests,
ben
