If you remember the 80’s the way that I do, you know that beatboxing was a thing in music. Trying to overcome your challenger with new beats and rhymes, all rythmatical produced with your mouth. Biz Markie was the king of the Beat Box in my day.
To introduce us into the world of Nseries Music Edition devices such as the N73me, N918gb and N70me, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Nseries brings us the ultimate Battle of the Beats with 2 very different competitors.
In one corner we have DJ eFFex who brings us the next generation of Beatboxing with his mixture of vocal percussions. In the next corner we have Pjotro, The Man with the Musical Suit, using his skills to turn himself into a musical instrument.
Now excuse me while I wipe the look of being dumb founded off my face. If that little blurb didn’t give your forehead wrinkles then just watch this:

Let’s take in to account that there may be some people who actually find this mildly amusing. I guarantee you they will stop being curious once they experience the load times of this viral campaigns website.
Make me wait more than 15 seconds and I’m reaching for the X in the top right (left if you use a Mac) corner.
So what about the downloads? Maybe those are cool right? We got a trailer (see above youtube), a screen saver that weighs in at 17 Mb! and last but not least "stuff for your mobile." This "stuff" is a theme for your mobile phone according to Darla Mack. She shows it off:
Yet when I go to the same url on my mobile phone: http://pjotrovsdjeffex.com/ I get this:
Complete … waste … of marketing dollars!
Oh and Darla I mean no disrespect to you, I too love beat boxing, but when I think back to those days when we used to spit beats out in the school yard it was a whole lot more cool then what I just experienced today.
Hey I love your site. Now not to rip on you too much but before you go ripping on people for having a huge site, look at yours, it crashes my n800 to go to it and I get memory full on my e61 when trying to load it. Maybe you should create more pages so not so much loads on the first page, but hey great site.
Thanks for the comments Greg.
I know most people read my site on their computers so they don’t have that problem. As for consuming my website on your N800 or mobile phone … do what I do, RSS.
Believe or not..my N73 handles your site quite well..even when the download amount is over 2mb! Haven’t had memory errors after latest firmware update and with 3 G the download doens’t take that long.
After Tommi Vilkamo’s tip I have started using Google reader though..I haven’t used them before, because didn’t find one that would had suited my needs.
Yeah I agree RSS is the way to go, just sucks that it can’t load the normal page. I guess all the cool videos and stuff, lol.
