Our Nokia World 2010 gallery contains photos captured, live, from Nokia's biggest event of the year. We aim to give you an inside view into what's going on: from new devices and services announcements in the keynotes, to the latest demos on the show floor. This year Nokia World, which is being held in the East End of London, also coincides with the Nokia Developer Summit, the premier event for Nokia's developers and ecosystem partners, so you expect some developer related images too!
