I dream of Nokia

[aubreyq]

Man, I'm such a geek. Last night I had a dream of Nokia's $100M marketing campaign for their new phones. There was a giant Lumia 900 (kind of like those WP used in New York and other cities recently) and people were being "stacked up" inside the giant phone. Apparently the size of the phone was determined on how many people were stacked up inside at any given time. Weird, I know.

BTW I didn't smoke anything before going to sleep, LOL! I suppose it's all the hype and rumors that are ramping up recently. That Nokia press conference on Monday can't come soon enough!

It will be interesting to see how Nokia will spent that money in U.S.
Nokia and MS spent around ~70 million euros in Europe and got a lot done. My favorite being: Nokia Lumia Live ft deadmau5 lights up London with amazing 4D projection - YouTube

I expect to see a barrage of commercials similar to how we saw endless Droid commercials from Verizon and Motorola. It would be nice to see a cool Superbowl commercial. And then maybe a series of commercials during the NBA playoffs.

The sheer size of the United States makes it a little harder for a big "event" like what happened in London to have as much of an impact. We're so huge and so diverse culturally.

I could see something happening like MS did not too long ago where there is some sort of tour across the country. With parties in several major cities. But of course, on a much bigger scale than MS did.

It should be an interesting spring and summer!

Well Europe is quite big and culturally diverse as well. Though i guess we will see what kind of impact it all did in Europe when the Q4 reports from Nokia come out.

It might be the incentives Nokia/MS is rumored to offer for the workers on AT&T on every Nokia phones sold, with the general TV ads that make the difference., rather than the stunt type like the Deadmau5 show.
Deadmau5 was more about brand polishing than directly selling the phone to you. Something Nokia certainly needs in U.S.

I hope they do something for Puerto Rico . The N9 came in unannounced and is selling really well (mostly because is just 49 bucks with a 59$ a month unlimited data plan)

have you tried it? how is it working?

 

[Winterfang]

Well the carrier is abysmal so I'm running away from it as soon as possible. The only person I asked about the N9 software ( most people with them I just ask them if I could hold the phone, then I day-dream about it having a WP OS) was some young man. He quickly show me how he could do everything in one swipe, then I noticed the Nokia logo on his t-shirt...

I was played like a chump, had to listen to him giving a keynote lol.
