I've also come to the conclusion that sticking native Finnish speakers in front of English speaking audiences with the intention of announcing the latest gadgets and technologies just doesn't work - the presentations (and I've watched a few, believe me) lack charisma and any shred of enthusiasm. This isn't their fault, it's probably lost in the translation (and they're doing a better job than I could ever hope to achieve in reverse) but the fact of the matter is that it simply doesn't work as well as their competitors.

Nokia - hire some decent presenters for Christ's sake, you'd save a fortune in advertising if you only achieved 10% of the media coverage generated by a single Steve Jobs demonstration.
