It's the balloons that crack me up. "I know where I'm going with Nokia's Ovi Maps?" Really? :)

Ovi Maps is pretty good on Symbian devices. It's the N900 edition which sucks, a lot.

Good thing they didn't attempt that sort of stunt in Serbia. 2 possible outcomes - cut tires OR grafitti, most likely textual prefix/suffix in the form of '(HTC) EVENT CANCELED, DRIVING TO NOKIA WORLD INSTEAD' (in Serbian that would be a lot shorter).

I really don't think Nokia fear HTC are about to overtake them just yet ...
And what were their respective profits for those periods? Please share. I am interested to know. All well and good selling a billion $1 phones but that is not where the real profits lie. I suspect HTC's profits are very close to Nokia despite the fact that Nokia has been top dog in the mobile phone world and until a couple of years ago I had never even heard of HTC. Believe me Nokia is concerned. And if they are not the ignorance or lack of awareness of the way the market is going explains why they are no longer the force they were.

The trouble is, nobody is reporting the HTC buses or showing any such evidence yet their is plenty of photographic evidence of what Nokia subsequently did... I'm not saying the the buses didn't happen, but unless both sides of the story are presented it makes Nokia look like the bad/childish guy...

Nokia PR might want to think about getting their side of the story out there (after all, this is partly their fault) as the bogs seem only interested in poor little HTC and won't miss this as yet another opportunity to bash Nokia on the back of a fairly successful Nokia World..

This makes for a good quick read.

Salient quotes (to me at least)
“Nokia Expects Hardware Design to Attract Smartphone Customers"
and
"That’s why they have no cohesive software strategy."

It appears that HTC have form for this, having done something similar last year... no doubt Nokia were expecting it again this year and came prepared.

The lack of impartiality from the boggers that are covering this afternoons unseemly events is quite astounding. :(

Nokia should have set up Nokia branded roadblocks in retaliation to the HTC buses, IMO. ;)

I'm actually for this kind of activity. Shows that they know who their competition may be, steals a bit of their thunder... hell. I like this kind of guerrilla marketing.

It's not wholly effective, but it sure as hell is better than silence.
