N900 video extravaganza – update

GLOBAL – We can’t get enough of the Nokia N900. If you’ve been hiding under a bushel, you might have missed our N900 video extravaganza.

The whole thing kicked off thanks to the tremendous response from Conversations readers when we posed the simple question “What would like to see us do with the N900“. You asked, we’re answering.

Offline as it happens – win an N900

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.
