Interesting that this post came up at this moment... I am sitting in the audience at the Personal Democracy Forum as Mark Pesce as he is talking about the explosion of mobile and how it has yet to even begin to sort itself out socially.
Interesting stat: 15 years ago, 50% of the world's population had never made a single phone call. Now, in only 15 years, 50% of the world population owns a cell phone. That is truly amazing and with half of the world on mobile phones, it is only a matter of time before they demand inter-connectivity. Whoever figures out the best way to do this will have a huge market to tap and it will be amazing to see who does it and how.

Unfortunately I'm not sure that Nokia will garner much attention from the developer community, especially compared to Apple or Google. Plus making Plazes a handset specific device automatically means that many people won't use it.
You can't make the social graph proprietary. Do they think they can buy all our friends?
