Offline as it happens – win an N900
By JBC on 30 October 2009
GLOBAL – Another week, another opportunity to win a Nokia N900. Kicking off the ‘Offline as it happens’ campaign are four hilarious (well, I think so) videos of things happening when the luckless chap in the starring role isn’t paying attention. The basic premise being, if only he’d used his Nokia to keep him informed of what was going on, he wouldn’t have missed out on so much. Nokia is looking for you to tell your story of what heppened ‘offline’. You can submit your story on Nokia’s YouTube channel and the winning entry will nab an N900. There’s also a chance the winning entry could be made into the next video in the series.
My favourite is the fishing video. Mr Luckless is camped out on a fishing boat in the middle of a rather pretty lake. Taking a snooze, all sorts happen around him whilst he’s asleep, including a meteorite flying past! Check it out below, along with the Wedding, where the events of the night before are relived, the riverboat, where a simple weather check would have told him to put the roof up on his sports car, and the big game where he should have bought his tickets online (on his N900!). Enjoy some Friday fun and head over to the YouTube channel to enter.

Perhaps a good idea of promoting this campaign wood be to resign the jobs after your boss raised your salary or promoted you as a leader of something big. And this could happen while your are not online to find out the newest gossips from inside.

Great Ads.
I love the ads. It’s very powerful and entertaining.

I’m unable to submit a video. After selecting a video, the “submit” video does nothing in Firefox, IE reports “error on page” in the status bar.
Is it working for anyone else out there?

Hi PseudoFinn,
Did you receive an email of Nokia? I also published my video 2 days ago and it is still not listed on the Nokia channel nor did I receive any email with a confirmation or something. Tnx for your reply and also good luck with the competition!

Hello Philip-
No, never got word from Nokia. Initially, I wasn’t able to even submit my video- when I pressed “submit video” nothing would happen. When I tried the next day, it worked fine. Perhaps it wasn’t done processing. I assume that Nokia has to approve the submissions before adding them to the gallery- if you submitted on Friday, it’s likely that they simply haven’t gotten to it yet. Expect it would be up Monday or Tuesday.
Good luck!

Apparently a winner has been picked- I just received a message from Nokia via YouTube stating that I didn’t win.
Who did?

Hi there!
We’ve been busy filming the 5th Offline As It Happens video over the past couple of weeks.
The winner was with us at the film shoot, but we wanted to wait until the film is ready before we show you so as not to ruin the surprise twist at the end of the video!
All will be explained next week, along with a video blog from John (Mr Luckless, the star of the first videos) who was there too with his girlfriend, that will definitely be worth following…
Stay tuned!
Daniel

Nokia, you really know how to keep the tension!! Even though I now finally know that I didn’t win, I’m even more curious then when I was still hoping to win…
Can’t wait till next week… Greetings
