Many share the same dream, regarding Nokia stepping in with something.

The entries to thoughtfix's contest have already received more attention and brought it on the minds of thousands of people through word of mouth. That's many more than any advertising Nokia has done ... which hasn't even reached mainstream technology publications, or even specialty ones, as far as I can see.

I have people talking to me about the N800 & N810 internet tablets (due to creating the video and/or telling them about the little video on youtube) and its uses similar to when the iphone was announced and released.

I had one person literally asking me "Please, don't show x, as he will have to have one" !!

Imagine how far the news would travel if Nokia jumped in, with a last minute surprise.

And, if they decided to use some of the participants for an online ad campaign? Have every participant highlight their main use, or one of the general uses in their vicinity. Such an ad would circle the globe in less than an hour via the internet. Take some of the elements from people's entries. Such move & video probably would get picked up by the national news media as well, as one the feel good stories. Nearly cost free global reach without advertising. (small in advertising $ budget perspective, small # of handhelds and a few pro people plus logistics working on the polished ad, with volunteer actors (us) )

Now, that would be something, wouldn't it
