http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/kevin-shields-600.jpg A conversation with Nokia’s Stephen Elop, as we had earlier this week, is quite an experience. He’s kind, friendly, charming and obviously extremely passionate about everything Nokia – but his PR deflector shields are always full-forward. Ask him a challenging question and you’ll be greeted with a very gentle response that sounds like an answer but is actually just a deftly delivered retooling of some standard PR-friendly message you’ve probably already heard.
Interviewing Nokia SVP Kevin Shields is, as we’ve seen in the past, a somewhat more… direct experience. Why did Nokia go with a gloss finish on the 920 instead of the matte we loved on the 800 and 900? “Because it’s awesome.” How durable is the 920? “It’s like a missile.” How confident is he that wireless charging will take off? “We are all in.” Shields was kind enough to give us a few minutes of his time after Nokia’s event this week to talk Lumia and to explain just what “PureView” means now that it’s been applied to a second phone.
