Nokia produce good phones but have been under a lot of pressure recently. Newer, more seemingly innovative companies such as Apple with their iPhone and Google with their Google Android phone system have been taking market share from Nokia.

There is also an interesting debate as to what do you actually use a mobile phone for?

Surely, the answer is to make a phone call? Oh, and you would probably say to send text messages. Oh, and to check your emails. After all, checking emails was the main reason for the huge success of Blackberry phones.

As a follow on to my Denmark trip I popped into Helsinki, Finland for a few meetings at Nokia HQ. I’m sure there are some picturesque office locations all over the world but I was struck by the lakes and forests surrounding the Nokia offices.

I’m not sure it adequately compensates for the mif weather for 9 months of the year but if you can pull-off a summer stint ,go for it.
