What would you do for a Lumia?

Published by Paul Coombes on August 24, 2012

 

We often see interesting initiatives on our social channels, like followers who shoot 3D photos with their phone or photograph the moon with custom-made accessories. But when Damien tweeted the following, we knew this was on another level:

“@Nokia I will let you paint my car for a Lumia 900. I am serious.” – @skooal – aka Damien, from Wexford

Well, how could we resist such temptation? To physically haul ourselves to the beautiful Emerald Isle (the country itself is reason enough to go!) and jazz up the car of one of our fans, was just too much of a mouth-watering prospect to resist. So, after a few weeks of meticulous planning, hours of poring over top-secret blueprints and a million cups of coffee, we are ready to unveil Damien’s new Lumia car!

The result looks pretty cool too, I’m sure you’ll agree! And if you live in Ireland, you might come across the car yourself (Damien drives from Wexford to Dublin every day). If you do, make sure you take a picture, send it to us on @Nokia and let us know what you would do for a Nokia Lumia! But remember, don’t tweet and drive at the same time (or use your phone at all – unless of course you’re using a hands-free kit. Safety first.)

The lucky winner with his amazing Nokia Lumia combo!

A few tweets later, Damien is cruising along the Irish roads, Nokia Lumia style!

What would you do for a Nokia Lumia? How crazy would you go in order to get your hands on one? Let us know in the comments section or on Twitter and who knows, you might be involved in our next exciting project!

    Damn, wish I’d thought of that, lucky so and so… although my car is probably a bit to shabby and beaten up to promote a slick, shiny Lumia.

    It’s a shame there’s all sorts of planning rules about advertising on buildings, otherwise they could probably paint the roof of my house, and then it could be seen from Space!

    I’d certainly give up my job for a year to go travelling and film the whole thing on a Lumia (or an 808 Pureview for that matter).

    Yes, I would let @Nokia “paint” my car. I see it as a win win… especially for the Atlanta area… traffic galore! LOL!

    I would do that, but I don’t think Nokia would want to paint my 1994 camry. They’d be agist in that sense

    Nokia has been good for me over the years. I would get a Nokia Lumia tattoo on my upper arm or calf (no lower back stamps for me) for a new WP8 Nokia Lumia.

    I used to be a Nokia user but still a big fan. What about putting on a Lumia themed phone cover for my galaxy smartphone to flaunt my loyalty!

    For a Lumia 920?
    I would replace all my shirts and T-shirts with ones that have Nokia logos or Lumias or whatever printed on them.
    Or I could print stuff on my existing clothes, I did that already for some of my fav bands. In summer I’m basically a walking advert for Lacuna Coil while walking around town.
