25th Oct London MeetUp
 
So, today Tuesday the 25th there's the Nokia World pre-event party at the BFI.
Drinks run from 6:30pm and movie (Transformer 3) at 7:30pm and lasts 2:30hrs (gulp!)

I shall be there at around 6pm if I'm lucky or near the starting time.

I guess people can meet anytime and we, lucky (?), party-goers can join later (I am not sure I'll see the whole movie, so I may be joining earlier).

I do not know the area, but for sure along the riverside there shall be plenty of opportunities or even closer to the Excel/Katheeine's dock area (it depends though, I live in Twickenham and that's the opposite :( ).

Anyway, let's discuss this today and see where we can go from here.

So, first of all, who's coming to the party?
Second, who's willing to go for a drink/meetup?
And, third, I know there's a Nokia Champion event, what time? where.? for how long?

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
I will be bringing my N9 and a N950, so this can be a chance to play with them a little bit.

I will try to make it. My N9 is waiting for me at home so will have to run home first and then make the event. I live 10 mins from waterloo so should be do'able.

You are participating at the Nokia party?

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
Was planning to. Will stick around for drinks and maybe the movie...
Can I bring a friend? She doesnt have a ticket confirmed.

anidel 2011-10-25 09:11

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
When I asked for the ticket, I was contacted and asked if I wanted to bring a friend. She also got a ticket confirmation in the mail...not sure then. Just bring her along and I'm sure they won't complain! (I hope) if they do, we'll all go for a beer :)

Not sure how it works for food though...

afaq 2011-10-25 09:17

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
There arent many great food options in the area but a few scattered around the BFI. Considering the event starts at 630...and with the movie ending at 10ish? people will need food :)

Yes I will drag her along. She's a former apple fan and now running with the samsung s2.

anidel 2011-10-25 09:20

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
What a fall she's got there! :)

Anyway indeed people need food, I inquired Katie about it and she replied what we alreday know : "there will be drinks". Thanks. But I asked about snacks/food ? Oh well, I guess she meant no food whatsoever :)

Anyone with a Nokia N800 ?

I am bringing the whole family with me, but miss the N800 :(

I'll have the Nokia 770, Nokia N810 (no WiMax sorry), Nokia N900, Nokia N950 and Nokia N9.

I just realized I really have the whole (almost) family here :)

PS: would be cool to make a short movie about Maemo/MeeGo, any art director, video/audio enthusiast who is willing to take on the idea?

I should be there at IMAX anytime between 6 and 6:30 tonight, not sure about staying for the movie, tough.

anidel 2011-10-25 09:47

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
I will be there and might decide not to see the movie after all myself :) so let's meet at around 6pm and see...

I guess best is to meet at the IMAX ticket lounge itself?

Yeah, let's meet in the lounge sometime around 6:30 (I'm getting off work around 6pm). Will be nice to catch up again! :)

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
Indeed :)
It's been since we met at the other Nokia event in London for the N900 that we haven't seen each other ...

Anyone got an invite for the party? Would love to get my hand on an 800 to have a looksie. (tried emailing Mala)

anidel 2011-10-25 10:44

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
yep I did get the official invitation that I need to print and bring there...

Don't think that today we're gonna see any Windows Phone. They'll want to announce them tomorrow.

The Champions' event should be finished by about 1930, we've been told.

anidel 2011-10-25 13:44

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
It's when the movie starts, but many people (and probably me included) won't go watch it and prefer to hang out for a chat and a beer.

anidel 2011-10-25 13:45

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
Best is to just show up at the BFI IMAX lounge, use Nokia Maps (after all it's Nokia Maps party!) to find a place around the IMAX :)

We'll tweet it right from Nokia Maps the location via usual social services :p

(I need to apply for a job at Nokia!)

Actually we'll use the newly releases Nokia City Scene on BetaLabs (it's in Ovi Store as well):

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
Ah I just got an invite, see you guys there. However using google maps on my palm pre :p. (Seriously who owns a symbian phone these days!?)(and for that matter a pre..)

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
I'm about to leave the office. I shall be there around 18-18:10.

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
hmm so I just talked to the organisers.. There is a raffle before the movie... And that's it! What's the point of this event!? No tech, nothing!

anidel 2011-10-25 22:22

Re: 25th Oct London MeetUp
 
The raffle was about giving away a few Nokia 700 with Symbian Belle and a few bt headset (I guess the ones with NFC).

The party was about Nokia Maps.

A bit underwhelming isn't it? Over in Munich (Qt Developer Days) they apparently gave away N9s by the truckload.

Yes, it was a party ie drinks but zero content. Ah well I did go rather blind. The number of N9's was quite amazing, it seems a lot of Nokia employees were there.
