Nokia Wants Your Ideas

By on May 23, 2011 in Ideas

Have you been holding on to a unique idea that would revolutionize the way we communicate? If so, a new program called, “Invent with Nokia,” may be exactly what you are looking for. According to Nokia:

Having a great idea is one thing, but having that idea turned into a reality is often much more difficult, costly and time consuming and so ideas rarely come to fruition. What if you had a great idea for a future device, or a radical new feature or service? Nokia has today launched a new program that allows you to submit your ideas. Invent With Nokia is now open for ideas.

If your idea is accepted and a patent filed as a result, the financial rewards mean it should definitely be worth giving it a go and there could be further rewards if a product or service based on the invention is successful with consumers. In addition to the monetary rewards, you’ll also take your place in a hall of fame, giving you public recognition for your invention so everybody will know who you are.

    This is a fantastic way for new inventors/entrepreneurs to get their foot in the door. Thanks for sharing this.

    My names are Edward Makobore a post graduate student of Nkozi university in
    Kampala, uganda in East Africa.

    As i sat taking notes in class i wondered why i was not taking them
    directly on some form of mini device (hybrid btn phone and computer).

    It then hit me that none of the hardware/ software manufacturers has tailor
    made any form of mini comp purposely for students.

    A few intelligent people are using Ipads or other devices but these were *not
    ideally *meant for this purpose.

    If a handset was made slightly bigger than the Nokia 1100, enabling a user
    to use two thumbs most especially if he/ she were typing in T9 mode, a user
    would very easily keep pace taking notes with a lecturer. A little training
    could ensure this.

    The software on the set could also be tailor made to facilitate this new
    “studentcomp”.

    The software could build on the wordprocessing, xcel basically similar to
    the desktop computer.

    To ensure this undertaking is a success *a lot of branding and advertising
    would be necessary* to show that Nokia is interested in education sector
    and has come up with a product that will

    1. organise the students work
    2. Quicken taking of class notes
    3. Save time writing and then later typing work.

    Hello,

    Nowadays, every body (or a lot of people) have at least 2 mobil phones.
    The first one which has a purpose for your job and the other one which has only a prupose of communication with family, with friends and some times for an exceptionnel case.

    My idea is to create a phone which can have 2 SIM-card in ONE phone. This phone have all the data (number, applications, …) always available. The phone must be able to chose the SIM-card according the person wich is contacted and use the subscription according the SIM-card. Moreover, these 2 SIM-card must be able to be disconnect (for example : during holydays it can be necessary to “switch off” the part of the phone which is related to the work !)

    Or, maybe it can be interesting to create a SIM-card with 2 different numbers, instead of one phone wich have 2 SIM-card ! But this solution, seems more complicated for the phone to monitor ! (But I don’t really know).

    Everyone is very into posting pictures on Facebook, blogs and other online sources. What if we had a camera that could upload pictures right to the Internet. Not like having a smart phone that does this, but a camera with better pixels and zoom etc, everything that a camera has that a smart phone doesn’t. Nothing like this has been made before, and I think it would be a great new electronic tool that many would use.
