BACKGROUND:
The December Mobile Monday DC event will give attendees a hands-on demo of innovative new phones from Nokia, one of the worldwide leaders in the mobile phone industry. Some of them have been the stuff of rumors on the blogosphere. Others may have already made their way into the pockets of your friends and business associates abroad. A few already have cult followings. Most have never been seen on this side of the Atlantic.
The speaker for this event, William Plummer of Nokia, will introduce the new, innovative, and trendy new phones for the season. He'll also attempt to answer the age-old question "Why does my cousin in Europe have a cooler phone than I do?"
