N900 Videos

These viral videos from Nokia revolve around a common theme—”offline as it happens”. In this video, a loser has gone fishing in his little boat and fallen asleep.

Suddenly dozens of fish start leaping out of the water. One even leaps into the bucket on his boat, but still the loser sleeps. A fleeing flock of birds flies noisily overhead, ahead of a blazing meteor leaving a smoky trail.

Finally the fisherman awakes and looks around, in a daze. In the foreground someone slides open the keyboard of an N900. We see a picture of the meteor, being geotagged and having the “fun” tag added, before being uploaded to the cloud.

The unseen operator of the N900 was “online as it happened”, unlike the luser.

The snatches of music in the video are from Chasing Time by Alan Pownall.

This silent video shows the N900 close-up, to give a good feel for its shape and size, and to show its external features and ports.

The camera slider (lens cover) is marked “Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.2 AF 5MP”. When slid open, the lens and a dual-LED flash are visible. There’s no Xenon flash. An imprint in the black back of the device reads “NOKIA Nseries”. There is also a small kickstand which deploys from around the camera area, but this was not demonstrated.

Around the edge of the phone are the stereo speakers, a “lock” slider button, 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone opening, micro-USB charging and data port, zoom/volume up/down button, power button and camera shutter. The stylus can be pulled out, or pushed out with a thumb.

We also get a glimpse of the “Camera Mode” dialog, the multi-tasking application switcher, the slide-out keyboard and the application launcher.
