One of the main discussion topics on sidelines of the technology fair is the move to Barcelona this year. Most people seems to be happy with a bigger town, bigger venue, better public transport and more hotels but not all. nokia1.jpg

Lucent CTO Paul Mankiewich told Reuters it was easier “to network” in the smaller town of Cannes where everybody met in the bars on the boulevard after official opening hours, while in Barcelona, the attendees are spread all over the town. And for some Cannes is still strongly in their mind. Ericsson CEO Carl-Henric Svanberg noted in his keynote speech Thursday morning noted how many phone companies have launched their new models here in Cannes here in Barcelona, he quickly corrected himself.

One comment so far

Take a look at some pictures taken today at 3GSM Barcelona by the newest phones out there…

I was quite disappointed with the SonyEricsson P990 - having waited so long to hold it in my hand.
The winner for me is the Samsung growing family of good camera phones. If only they could improve the UI to the level of Nokia.
Talking about Nokia, another disappointment was the N80. How can you release such a camera phone with no Auto-Focus???

What are your impressions from the show?
