GLOBAL – I’ve heard of dirty phone calls but sexual harassment via a video call is new one on us. Coming from the provincial island of Great Britain – where video calling is a pretty marginal activity to say the least, the thought of being greeted on your phone by some pervert striking a lewd depraved pose hadn’t even crossed our puritanical minds (or I imagine yours either).
LONDON, England - It’s all about colour. At least it is according to the Colour and Materials Designer, Grace Boicel, responsible for the SuperNova range. And you know what, it kinda makes sense.
GLOBAL – We got our mitts on a couple of models from the newly announced SuperNova range and have to say we’re pretty impressed.
So much so, we’ve gone to the trouble of videoing them for your delight. Catch all the colourful phone action after the jump.
LONDON, England - Yesterday’s announcement is rapidly changing the shape of the mobile industry. We caught up with Guido Arnone from Vodafone who outlined how the venture will be seen as a good thing by the operators.
In fact, Guido outlines how this isn’t just Vodafone, but the whole industry getting involved. Remarkable that we’re seeing the whole industry pull together like this. Very exciting times ahead!
ESPOO, Finland – The eating habits of Nokia employees probably don’t rank high on the must-see list but this time-lapse video of a day in the life of the Nokia Cafeteria is, nevertheless, pretty cool.
USA – Next month sees The Dark Knight, the latest in the Batman revival series and surely one of this year’s blockbusters, hit the screens across the world. To celebrate, Nokia has hooked up Warner Bros to offer the 6205 exclusively on Verizon wirless. The phone comes with a bunch of Batman extras including wallpapers, voice tones, animated screen-savers and a full trailer of The Dark Knight itself.
CANNES, France – What would happen if you gave a bunch of advertising young guns from all around the world some Nseries devices and a brief to create 60-second viral videos? Well, we’re about to find out because that’s what Nokia’s doing with the Young Lions Film Competition at the upcoming Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival which kicks off next week.
GLOBAL – I don’t know for certain how many video-calling capable 3G phones I’ve had, but I know for sure I’ve never actually made a video call on any of them. People admonished Nokia for not including video calling in its first ever 3G device (which in itself was hardly a show-stopping product), but then perhaps the teardrop shape had some level of irony in there.
GLOBAL – The other day we gave our first lowdown on what it’s like to have a meeting using the new Halo telepresence system Nokia’s been rolling out internally. There’s more to Halo than meets the eye though and thanks to Product Manager Phil Brockbank (in the right hand screen), we’ve taken a look inside to see how it all happens.
LISBON, Portugal – Some people get all the plumb jobs. Managing 1,000 people early morning in a Lisbon Square, the team behind a new N-Gage promo video had their work cut out. The video brings to life the most popular mobile game ever, snake. The 1,000 people who form the game are painstakingly photographed frame by frame before the images are stitched together to create a stop-start animation.
