N900 Videos

This video comes in four parts. The first twenty seconds is a graphics extravaganza, showing blobs of light and gleaming metallic components coming together to form the bright dawning of a new product: the N900.

The next part runs at a frenetic pace and shows glimpses of what the N900 can do: home screens, app launcher, web browser, the Ovi store, messaging, video playback, multitasking, desktop widgets, contacts and chat.

The phone is then rotated and we see the lens cover slide open, revealing the camera with its two-LED flash, which fires. The taken photo shows us that we are in what appears to be a second-hand bookshop with 1970’s carpet. The geotagging shows that this is Helsinki, Finland, in 2009 and everything makes sense when we see the tags “comic” “convention” being added before the photo is uploaded to the cloud.

Finally we hear the familiar Nokia ringtone, and we are reminded that this mobile computer is also a cellphone handset. The screen presents the options “Answer” and “Reject”. Even though this dude is at a comic convention, he’s not too embarrassed to accept a call from his mother. The consensus is that her avatar shows a young and pretty mom, so perhaps he doesn’t need to feel too awkward about it. But we never hear the conversation, because it cuts to a closing shot showing the multitasking, with the movie still playing in a thumbnail window. Not too sure how useful that is though.
