Nokia chief Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo kicked off this year’s Nokia World conference, on a whopping 47-metre-wide stage that over the next couple of days will hopefully see at least one speaker do a Mick Jagger and prance its length while hollering into a radio mic. Steve Ballmer would love it.

Anyway, Kallasvuo was on stage to talk Big Picture stuff, explaining Nokia’s overall strategy and vision. And cor, Kallasvuo mentioned the iPhone (by name) within a couple of minutes of taking the stage. He’s feeling confident, then, buoyed by Nokia’s prediction that there’ll be 3.2 billion mobile subscribers by the end of this year.
