Trips and gifts with Nokia Connects, from Mobile World Congress to a wedding gift.
On Tuesday, 25th February 2014, the day began with breakfast and a 30-minute talk by Nokia Entertainment Evangelist Dean Patrick on Nokia Mix Radio. At MWC, we joined two blogger sessions with Dirk Didascalou, SVP of Mobile Phones R&D.
On Monday, 24th February 2014, we woke at 6am to reach the venue by 7.30 for good seats, ahead of the 8am press conference. Nokia announced just five new low-end devices: the Nokia X, X+, XL, 220, and Asha 230.
Thanks to Nokia Connects for inviting me to Mobile World Congress 2014, my third event with them, after Nokia World 2011 in London and MWC 2012 in Barcelona. This year's itinerary was a day shorter, but I found it worthwhile.
I didn't announce that I got married in Las Vegas during my US holiday two months ago, only sharing it on Facebook, which feels more private than Twitter. It wasn't sudden, I'd proposed to Li Xiang on our 7th anniversary.
