Previous rumours suggested that Nokia will now focus on its own event - the annual Nokia World - rather than on third-party shows such as GSMA's Mobile World Congress. This change in strategy would allow the company to save its funds, and allow clients and associates to focus properly on Nokia at its own show.
The annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is a telecommunication event which gathers more than 50 000 delegates, including C-level executives and press from all around the world.
"Nokia is committed to Mobile World Congress, as it has been since the event started. In 2010 Mobile World Congress (MWC), Nokia will focus on its infrastructure business and the congress programme of seminars and speaking opportunities, customer and media activities", read a statement released today to PhoneReport.
"We have seen during the recent years that in Mobile World Congress we get the biggest benefit for the infrastructure part of our business. Therefore we will focus on this for 2010 and so Nokia Siemens Networks will continue to have a stand in the exhibition area", continued the statement, pointing out that the brand's network business will be the one in focus at the event.
"Nokia has for more than decade hosted its own Nokia World event which has become a globally recognized leading mobile Internet forum. This forum is our primary forum for showcasing our vision, devices and solutions as well as meet with industry partners and customers", concluded Nokia.
It is uncertain whether Nokia will showcase a flagship handset at the upcoming MWC, as the Nokia N900 has already been officially announced. A Nokia N98 could be knocking at doors on February, with further advancements in mobile technology and to increase competition with Nokia's rivals. A 12 megapixel camera-phone from the Finnish manufacturer is also bound to be released some time in future, and the 2010 MWC may just be the right event.
