For mobile enthusiasts, the GSMA's
Mobile World Congress is basically the focal point of the entire year -- a CES- or CeBIT-caliber event where manufacturers, carriers, software firms, and everyone in between gather to show off their latest goods in a setting where mobile is all that matters. In general, tradeshows have been showing signs of weakness; at many events, exhibitors and attendees have both withdrawn slightly in recent years as companies look to make announcements on their own schedule and their own terms (and a soft economy certainly doesn't help, either). This isn't any old company pulling out of MWC, though -- we've been able to independently confirm that Nokia, the world's largest phone manufacturer, is dramatically shifting its focus at the show next year by moving from a consumer-centric exhibition to an infrastructure-focused one led by its Nokia Siemens joint venture, using the existence of
Nokia World as one of the justifications for the move. As far as we can tell, the industry's commitment to MWC remains very strong, but this isn't exactly a fly-by-night shop pulling its two-man stand out of the show -- it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

What?
I thought they were concentrating on making the N900 I'm waiting for!
Nokia better start putting its priorities in order because im starting to loose patience with them.
So your patience is a little bit over a week? Nokia just announced the phone about a week ago. Your a dumbass by the way...If Nokia is less committed to things like MWC, wouldn't that let them have more time to work on the N900. But since your a dumbass, you probably couldnt connect the two. Dumbass!
@thisidiotguy
If you would'nt be the hopeless brainless moron you just proved to be, you would also know of the existence of something called "Irony".
If one day you'll learn how to read (miracle sometimes can happen) you should try to look for that word in a dictionary.
Although most probably even then you would'nt be able to grasp its meaning, it may well be worth a try .
That day you will also realize what dumbass mean: and how this other word perfectly describes the moronic face you keep seeing every time you look into a mirror.
