What I'm experiencing in Barcelona! "Live" from MWC 😀

madbilly

Hi everyone!

I've got really lucky this time! HMD have invited me to join them and the 48h competition winners for MWC in Barcelona - amazing!

Right now, I'm on the train to get there. Later I'll start posting what I'm seeing and hearing here in this thread, as "live" as I can manage.

Cheers

NIMISHA

Wow! Enjoy. Btw how did you get such great opportunity? 

madbilly

Hi Nimisha!

Thanks. I don't how I got so lucky, you will have to ask HMD.

Cheers

Congrats, buddy! You are a lucky guy! I think it's because you are Nokia Fanboy No:1!
 

NIMISHA

You're their favourite @madbilly

@madbilly that's great hope you have a great time  . Glad to see we have our informant on the inside again. Please just remember to bring back my Nokia 9 with you will let you know where to send it after the event. 

madbilly

I don't know what a "Nokia 9" is... Yet

todesurteil

Hahaha as soon as they show it you will know @madbilly. You can't miss it. Are you there yet? Any photo's or vids you can share?

madbilly

We've just arrived outside. I will yell you what I'm allowed, but I can't post photos of the devices until the official launch time.

madbilly

The outside...

madbilly

Who's this guy?

madbilly

Launch party, just started.

madbilly

Party on!

madbilly

Wow!

madbilly

Atmosphere.

Edit - can't post a video for some reason

Countdown!

Just in time had a braai (bbq). Cool photo's @madbilly thanks for sharing. Watching the live stream.

madbilly

The use of "plus" is apparently an exception!

First ever Nokia called 4!

The new Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2 seems much better than Nokia 8.1 and Nokia 7.1 with its new notification light on the power button, dedicated Google Assistant button and the new face unlock method.  🤣

I fell from my chair when Juho said "100" when introducing the price of Nokia 9. 😂

todesurteil

I must admit I like the idea of the notification light. Hope to see more devices with these. Would have been great if the Nokia 9 had it built in too. 

Didn't think the Nokia 9's camera's would be this great. Like that there's mono-chrome cameras that can take in-depth black & white photo's too. Really impressed...

Space!

After seeing Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2 I really hope next Nokia 5.2 and Nokia 6.2 would be such great: with under-display fingerprint sensor and with dot-camera like in leaked concepts

Did I miss out on something or they didn't mention about the availability of the new face unlock method for their older devices including the fairly new Nokia 8.1 on the stage?

madbilly

These are your assistants!

madbilly

I just read that I can't upload photos anymore. Odd.

@wilson shrestha
Didn't hear that Juho said it will be available for older devices. Not sure if it will be available.

Sad like really really sad... 😭

Maybe a spam rule that limits the amount of pictures you can post and/or a size limit on photo's. That's why I was against it when we discussed it a while ago (spam filters) if I can remember correctly @madbilly
