"Working with carriers, there may be some apps that are too bandwidth intensive," Ojanperä said.

Nokia's version of openness includes allowing its Symbian mobile OS to enable downloads from other mobile application stores, Ojanperä said.

Ultimately, Ojanperä envisions a single application that combines maps, messaging, music, media and games, all areas the company is pursuing.

This application "will show where friends are, what they are listening to and use messaging to reach them. It is connecting these functions."

Ojanperä also addressed the recent news surrounding its Ovi Share product, saying that Nokia had not stopped investing in the online information sharing service. On May 8 Nokia announced it was closing the office that developed Ovi Share, a move the mobile industry perceived as the company shuttering the service.
