Well look no further. Nokia Research & Development Labs have posted a Virtual Tour of their Labs over on Nokia Press. There are two videos, High Resolution photos, and a PDF background file, all of which you must download in order to view them.
I have already done this, and uploaded a few things which you can see below.
Steve Litchfield of All About Symbian, was one of the very lucky few, and privileged to actually visit the Labs in person the other day. His experiences, photos, and videos can be found here.
It’s interesting to see what exactly goes on in the Nokia research Labs, and some tests have surprised me, they really put these devices through the mill, just take a look at those poor handsets below, being battered, and drowned.
If like me, you will really enjoy watching these videos, and photos. I'm sure I am not alone in having an interest in this kind of thing, I find it quite fascinating personally. Don't know if this has anything to do with me being a destructive child in the past, but I loved breaking things when I was young(didn't all young boys?), always interested to see what made them tick, or how far you could push them before they fell apart. All intentional research, of course.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are the Videos...
Video 1 - Short overview (2 minutes 1 second)
Video 2 - More detailed overview (3 minutes 16 seconds)
The photos below can be seen in High resolution here on Share on OVI
