Nokia Conversations has provided a platform to ask questions from those of us not able to attend Nokia World ‘09 at http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/08/20/suggest-questions-for-nokia-world-09/ from

Christof Hellmis (VP Product, People and Places)
Eric John (Director, Ovi Store)
Juha Kokkonen (Director, Explore, discover)
Jo Harlow (VP, Category Management, Live)
Liz Schimel (VP, Music)
Janne Heikkinen (Director, Product Mgmt, Maemo)
Mark Ollila (Director, Technology and Strategy, Games)
Jonne Harju (Design)

and here is what I’ve asked them

“ Sir I’m a blogger from Pakistan and an avid Nokia Enthusiast got a couple of questions .

@ Christof Hellmis (VP Product, People and Places) & @ Juha Kokkonen (Director, Explore, discover)

Nokia’s Friend View and OVI Contacts will they be combined so I can see where my friends are and also chat with them ?
Nokia has launched maps for all over the world but still lacks Pakistan , I’m currently using Garmin XT combined with maps made my Pakistani Freelancers , do Nokia plan to add Pakistan street mapping in OVI Maps ?
Proximity Sensors via Phone location , when can we see a realtime application for them such as a Widget on N97 homescreen informing me if my friend / contact comes within a particular distance or even visit my city .

@ Eric John (Director, Ovi Store)

Sir , I find Ovi Store to be bothersome , why don’t you go for OS dependent offering like S60v3 S60v5 Fp1 , Fp2 etc instead of Device dependent , a good example will be Nokia Ramadan Apps available for E66 but not for award winning E71

@ Liz Schimel (VP, Music) –

You have launched Nokia Music Store India – it’s still in pilot stage but what will be the competitive pricing in a country where a MP3 Cd can be bought having 100’s of songs for a few dollars – is Comes with Music a possibility – Mr Olli Pekka said so , is it also being planned for Pakistan with our local groups .

@ Janne Heikkinen (Director, Product Mgmt, Maemo) –

Loved the N900 , Loved the OS outlook but when to expect it and what about Application availibiity , iPhone became popular beacuse of it’s Apps what do you have in store for Maemo

@ Mark Ollila (Director, Technology and Strategy, Games) :

Are you planning to combine X-Box gaming with Nokia phones given MS / Nokia Alliance ” is much more than Office ” , any news of adding Project Natal type experience to the phone

@ Jonne Harju (Design) –

Nokia had been doing a great job in the design dept of upcoming phones any thoughts about using the Aeon featured in Echelon Conspiracy and what about the phone featured in Star Wars , any bits and crumbs on that
