Nokia E 72 Media Launch – Pakistan – My Thoughts

As promised here are my thoughts about the Nokia E72 Media Launch held on 27th Oct 2009 , at Sheraton Hotel Karachi Pakistan , where Ms Trude Gjaland , Category Head ‘E’ Series Nokia MEA came all the way from Dubai

First it was an event well conducted , the Q & A style with Khurram , Product Manager Nokia Pakistan and Afghanistan , asking questions and Trude and Imran Khalid Mahmood , GM Nokia Pakistan answering them , some may call it a fixed interview , it was but the questions were too the point and answers were too related to the event . A much refreshing setup than people coming on stage and giving speeches .

Trude’s coming to Pakistan shows Nokia’s commitment to the country and it’s market , in these times when travel advisories are being issued for Pakistan , Trude took a bold step to come here , attend the program and also visited the market .

Pakistan may look small on the map but telecom density wise it rivals the developed nations in the west with more than 90 million connections in the population of 170 million . The country has also seen one of the highest telecom growth rates and boost one of the lowest calling rates in the world . On services wise , almost all of Pakistan is GPRS / EDGE equipped with minimum of white areas and with data rates as low as Rs 500 / Month ( USD $6) for an unlimited ( 2 GB Fair Use Policy ) data limit for Nokia E series it’s a lucrative market .

Trude’s visit to Pakistan emphasizes on the importance of Pakistan in Nokia’s portfolio , she is not the first to come to Pakistan earlier in June Mr. Head of N Series MEA came to Karachi on Nokia N97 launch .
