WOMWorld/Nokia Meet-up was awesome.
Where does one begin to try and describe what a great evening we had on Thursday 7th
Jan 2010? Well lets begin by mentioning the massive headache that I had the next morning and a mailbox full of new twitter friends.
If you not sure what I’m talking about check out the following post last week and the Aftermath post on the WOMWorld/Nokia site.
The night began fairly relaxed with people slowly arriving to a warm welcome of snacks and drinks. I meet some great people I must say and the conversation was really interesting and open with regards to mobile opinions. It wasn’t simply a night of praising Nokia and all that is has to offer, but rather a night of sharing with like minded people what we really think, and even a chance to say what we really don’t like about Nokia. This to me is was made the night a success.
I was very happy to finally meet @xMichaelSFx from Thoughs from Hell, in saying that it was a breath of fresh air to meet a blogger and an industry fan, who loved to speak the truth and was not afraid to be honest about his thoughts even if he knew they turned a few heads and sparked a few controversial conversations. Michael I must say thanks for the inspiration, and I hope I can continue to write in the spirit that you described to me last week.
On top of WOMWorld/Nokia getting us drunk they also gave everyone USB sticks with some free Ovi Apps on them. There were plenty of gadgets to play with, including some TV out gaming, with Pacman and some various N900 emulator games.
On of the coolest things of the night (call me a simple man) was when the guys wanted to show us the N97 mini mariachi video, but the laptop that was plugged into the TV would not give out a usable level of volume. So what happened you may ask. The N900 is what happened. They ditched the laptop and plugged in the N900 and we happily watched the youtube videos. (Another reason I love the N900).
Please check out the following twitter tag #wwnmeet, since the meet up loads of pictures have been tweeted, trust me you going to want to see some of them.
