For those of you don’t know, I was hired by Nokia to lead their Nokia Experience kiosk for San Francisco (Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton, CA)
Nokia has built 8 of these unique Experience kiosks in North America to allow people to experience Windows Phone 8, debunk myths and above all, show as many people as possible how Nokia’s exclusive Windows Phone 8 apps make them an obvious choice – not only against other Windows Phones, but ultimately show iPhone and Android/Droid owners the advantages, ease of use benefits and above all debunk the myths around Windows Phone and how it’s not a mature OS.
Here are some of the things we are talking about this first week of being open to the public and we are adding more to our repertoire every day and after every customer interaction.
Buy a Lumia Windows Phone 8 for:
Navigation Nokia Drive+
* Turn-by-turn, 100% off line navigation
* Download maps to 150 countries for free and free updates for the life of your phone
* download not only English USA, English UK in male and female voices, but also in more languages for when your drive with your parents/family visiting abroad – there is no reason they should be left out!
* intelligent Commuting feature. Define your home, your work in Nokia Drive+ and forget about it.
Then just drive to/from work as usual and forget about it.
Nokia Drive+ then monitors your route, speed, driving habits, the route you take most often and how long your commute takes.
THEN when Nokia Drive+ sees that your commute will be delayed by traffic, accident etc. It will let you know in advance so your can a) leave work early and arrive at home or the daycare on time, or let you know a better route to take.
Either way, its a genius time saver and allows you to concentrate on your work and not “traffic on the eights.”
Foreign Travel? Expansive data plans? Don’t worry if you are traveling to another country, just download their maps before you leave home!
Nokia Drive+ and Windows Phone 8 share the same maps for navigation, restaurant’s, gas stations, shops, walking directions.
Dowload the one set of maps and enjoy first class navigation, reviews etc without
