Nokia's customers — Nokia 6630, 6680, 6681 and 6682

Sara Kullgren, CEO of Nokia Mobile Phones: "We can create growth by entering new markets with videos and music (downloads). Therefore it is extremely important that vendors and operators can cooperate, so that the new products are complete and have the right tariffs".

It's a bit disappointing to see that Nokia keep sending out this message that their top priority is increased cooperation with the operators. I thought that pleasing their end customers would be at least as important as pleasing Vodafone or T-Mobile or Orange.

I understand the drive will be for phones configured only the way the operator likes, phones that don't support connections via the pc, phones that cannot send a midi or mp3 file to another phone, etc, etc

We are already experiencing this drive with some of the shortcomings of the 6630 and the 6680 but now I feel it will be even worse in future, with full blown DRM nightmare, when people will realise that the 1000 songs they have bought with Vodafone will be lost if they switch to 3 or viceversa.....

But that's what the networks want. And the manufacturers have to be careful with the networks because the networks can easily not support a phone.

On top of that, if a phone doesn't conform to the operator's requirements, then they won't carry the phone. Most phones are sold via operators, so Nokia doesn't have a lot of choices.
