Video: New Nokia N95 commercial

I like it, a lot. It’s one of those commercials that makes you want to know what exactly it is they’re trying to sell you. It forces you to watch until completion.
I don’t like the "It’s what computer have become" marketing slogan, but that’s another topic all together.
Anyone know what the song in the background is?

I hate the voice over though.. sounds like that guys is about to fall to sleep or die a slow death..
It’s symbolic. The tired old man has been carrying around so much crap with him his entire life. Now he is free. He has a Nokia N95. “It’s what computers have become.”
He can finally rest and relax. Too late however since he is older than … the dinosaurs.
It wouldn’t have sounded right with a happy cheery person. I think the voice selection is brilliant.
Matter of taste I guess. Did not mean a happy cheery person, but at least someone inspiring..
I find the commercial to be brilliant and the tone to be artful, until they show the device with the silly Yahoo! page. After all the meaningful words, the one image they show of the product tells me “Yay! Everywhere-access to Yahoo!” … it’s almost insulting to the capabilities of the device. Other than that, I really dug the feel of it.
That song is from a soundtrack but I can’t really place it.
Andrew: What would you have it show?
Bernardo: It’s so peaceful isn’t it?!
Hey Stefan,
Could you post your videos on some other video site cause 6rooms it’s very slow where I live (Romania) and I’m sure that others have this problem too…
International in my experience Google video is the best and YouTube is next although the quality on YouTube is not so nice…
I know you didn’t post this particular video but I’m talking in general…
Maybe others can post their opinions on the subject
Thanks and keep up the good work
yeah, 6rooms was very slow for me too.
instead of Yahoo! page, maybe they should show Ringnokia.com
Stefan: Something more along the lines of a screen showing GPS nav, video recording, using the new video services… or geo-tagging and uploading a photo or video
I know *that’s* too much to show in a second, but I’d just like to see something that doesn’t screen “dated” like the Yahoo! portal. Especially when they have you in suspense, thinking, “What is this revolutionary thing they’re about to show me?” But really, they could show the phone dancing around in a tutu and I’d still want it more than anything. 
the song’s name is “little jonathan / the wall” from the soundtrack of the movie “everything is illuminated”
i hope you can use the info.
