Nokia’s New Ad Campaign

Nokia has thrown out an innovative ad campaign in the Mumbai Mirror Newspaper. It is against piracy and the highly ridiculed China Mobile or Korean sets as we call them dearly in the south.The ad is nice and gives a crisp idea that these fake mobiles don’t have IMEI number and hence they help terrorism in a very easy way as calls made using them cannot be traced.

View the pictures and see how true and nice the campaign is.

Nokia N97 Announced, A New Flagship From Nokia

The N95 is becoming a bit too classic and too old, so Nokia needed to release an ultimate flagship handset, again to fill in the N95’s shoes. And here it is, just announced at Nokia World in Barcelona, the new Nokia N97!

The N97 features a slide-out tilt screen Qwerty design, and runs on the new Symbian S60 5th edition: it is the 2nd S60 handset to sport a touchscreen after the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic which has just started shipping. The touchscreen is a widescreen 3.5inch display with 16 million colors and a 16:9 640×360 pixels resolution. The interface is very similar to the 5800 XpressMusic, except that the N97 offers a customizable standby screen where you can add widgets (somehow similar to the Today Screen on Windows Mobile) like email, calendar, music player, application shortcuts, social networks, weather. You can also organize these and create your own if you feel like it.
