the comercials are somewhat funny by them missing everything going on around them because they are not 'online' promoting that you are always connected when you have the n900.
For americans...definately odd. But i find diferent countries definately have diferent senses of humor.
...and BTW, I'm from Philadelphia. We find humor in everything, we kind of have to... So yo, humor this. (grabs crotch)
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.

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

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.
