Re: Weird n900 advertising, probably not for real

I thought they're good and looking at the production quality and subtle consistencies, they're definitely not fakes.

For those who don't get it, read what ceroberts75 said above :)

For americans...definately odd. But i find diferent countries definately have diferent senses of humor.

I got that^ from the soccer ad. I could see how having the N900 would have helped accomplish that task easier or kept someone who stayed awake informed... but, I can't see how an N900 would help me fish or sleep for that matter.

...and BTW, I'm from Philadelphia. We find humor in everything, we kind of have to... So yo, humor this. (grabs crotch) :D

I think Benny might be on to something... it may be an attempt to establish this "sleeping man" character to make us want to see what he is up to next. However, like the MS spots with Gates, they run the risk that we might not care... This could happen if the ads are produced by someone who does not truly understand the user experience, imho.

At the end of the shoot the guy stops the recording, attaches a "fun" comment to it and uploads = if he hadn't been there (with his N900) all the amazing things that happened while the guy slept would never have been seen.

Personally I liked the first one, as it builds from something simple, fish jumping to a meteor passing by.

The second one didn't speak to me at all.

In the soccer one I guess it would be the old man with the dog... and in the fishing one it's just some stranger lurking in the woods. :p

Re: Weird n900 advertising, probably not for real

the fishing ad is great, the soccer ad is somewhat lame..

I wouldn't mind that squeaking sound effect for my sms\email ringtone

Re: Weird n900 advertising, probably not for real

So it's real? Will they be on tv? I don't think they were that good personally. Not very unique or fun.

EDIT:
Just found this, it's a mockumercial :rolleyes::

Well if it is a hobby project then it's very good quality, if it were officially from Nokia it wouldn't be that good.
