Kramer; this article does highlight the real innovations behind Nokia's work in mobile, and a perspective that's not driven behind bigger and better specs than the other person. These are examples of tech that display maturity in use, and from one blogger to another, I'm glad that you too have taken this road towards seeing mobile in this light. Blessings.

I am most impressed with the fact that you highlight where "mobile innovtion is really happening. Also, you make a great argument that Nokia is THE global leader in helping connect people at all levels of development. Kudos! mark Rudy,

I think you are right on the money. @Koen Why wouldn't you bet on SIM cards with GPS? They are just becoming available and you take one of those and a 25 euro Nokia phone and you have yourself a very low cost tracking device. Even if you end up with less than 26 days standby, it sounds pretty compelling to me. And we are talking about real GPS here, not some old hat base station triangulation (which is good for most use cases, but really accurate for tracking & navigation) Also, why do you think there's more chance that developing countries would end up with an Android phone for their email? I see no data backing up that assumption, sounds more like wishful thinking to me. Or maybe it's because it's open source and that magically makes the devices radically cheaper...

But I wouldn't bet on GPS receivers integrated in the SIM card. I suspect they are talking of making the A-GPS protocol, which enhances the accuracy of a GPS receiver, independent of the carrier thanks to some extra software interface on the SIM stack, probably by reading the timing from the base station. When it comes to developing countries, I see more chance they'll be reading their emails on an Android phone instead of on a black&white Nokia.
