Nokia World officially kicks off at 9am this morning, and will be with us for the following 48 hours. With news, gossip and a host of handsets on display, it's Nokia's biggest event of the year. We've already set off, tickets in hand, and are set to bring you full coverage of the event. Join us after the break to find out more...

Nokia World has seen some impressive revelations in the past – such as the excellent Nokia Booklet 3G – so we're hoping for more of the same this year. The event is being held at the ExCel centre in London, and is bigger than ever before.

We're hoping to hear from the new CEO Stephen Elop – although he's not actually set to start until later this month, so that may be wishful thinking on our part. There should also be lots of revelations and inside information from other Nokia bigwigs, and over the next 48 hours we'll be bringing you updates on everything said.

We're hoping to get hands-on previews with all of Nokia's latest and upcoming hardware, from the Nokia N8, hopefully to the much-rumoured Nokia E7. We're also hoping there will be a host of mystery devices, with enough news to keep us busy for the next 12 months!

Finally, we'll be bringing you the latest on the software front – from MeeGo to Symbian ^3 and Symbian ^4, and we hope to get an insight into Nokia's plans for the future.

Either way, it's set to be a fancinating 48 hours, so check back here on NokNok for updates around the clock.
