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?

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    I hate the voice over though.. sounds like that guys is about to fall to sleep or die a slow death.. :(

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    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.

  • Viipottaja

    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.

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    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 :)

  • cybette

    yeah, 6rooms was very slow for me too.

    instead of Yahoo! page, maybe they should show Ringnokia.com ;)

  • Andrew

    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. :)
