iPhone was a “Wake up Call” to Nokia

Following a recent interview of Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo by Almar Latour regarding the iPhone’s impact on the mobile phones market, Kallasvuo admitted that the release of the iPhone was a “Wake up call” to his company. They spoke about a new Nokia device in the pipeline, the Nokia N97 and the opening of Nokia’s own app store. This is Nokia’s initiative to position itself back as a leading mobile phones and service company with an applications store.
