Win phones: Nokia's E55, E75 and N97 [Closed - judging]

by Ben Smith on 15th March 2010

Entries are now closed and the winners have been announced.

The people from Nokia have given us three phones to give away to Really Mobile readers - having forgotten that post (we assume) or (more probably) taken it in good humour… so make us laugh and get winning!

We’ve got an E55, an E75 and an N97 to give to three lucky winners and it’s easy to enter… In video, audio, image or text create one of the following as suggested by our first winner Matt Radford:

  1. You’re Really Mobile’s Dad. Explain to Really Mobile how it should behave when it’s a grown-up, possibly with reference to ‘currently grown-up’ mobile/tech sites.
  2. Pick the actors who will play the cast in “Really Mobile: The Movie” and justify your choices.
  3. Write a Haiku to/about The Really Mobile Project or something we’ve blogged.

We want to use the winning entries on our ‘404‘ page… entries suitable for that may get extra credit. The rules are simple:

  • Anyone can enter as many times as you like - each entry will be considered separately. We’ll ship the devices anywhere (as long as you don’t mind receiving a European-specification device).
  • You can create and post your entry anywhere, but you must provide a link to it in the comments to this post and tag your entry ‘ReallyMobile’ wherever it goes. Of course you can just post your entry directly in the comments too.
  • There are 3 winners - the entries which make us laugh most. The best gets to choose from any of the 3 handsets, the 2nd best from the remaining 2 etc. The devices have all been used for demonstrations but are all in as-new condition, boxed with all the accessories.
  • The competition closes on 2359h (GMT) Monday, 22nd March 2010. Our decision is final and it’s a haiku if we say it is… Even if we’re wrong.

…and if you don’t feel inspired tweet or blog this - we’ll pick one person doing this for a mystery prize.

    1) Really, Really! When will you learn? Remember what they told you in church? You HAVE to utter the holy name five times on every page if you are to be absolved! Look at Engadget, CNET and others, lounging around on Ipads and eating the FORBIDDEN FRUIT? Did you think only looks got them there? Now, repeat after me: “I shall utter APPLE at least five times in a paragraph.”

    Notice the difference
    I don’t either
    Try searching or backslapping the “any key” instead
    Or submitting something really mobile to fill your plans

    Nope

    This story is true

    (It really is true. At Social Media Camp London last year I was looking for a Nokia charger. I figured if anyone would have one, it’d be James! He didn’t, but he had an N82 on him so he offered to swap batteries with me. What a nice guy :) )

    Here is my idea…. hope i get to choose first from the 3 Nak….errr….. Nokias……

    Idea 1.

    Daddy telling the really mobile project a bed time story……..

    Story Name: Matrics, the mobile Revolution

    The movie starts in a dark room with 2 people(Morbius and Nebo) wearing black goggles, . . . .
    Nebo suggets to open the goggles(as the room is Dark), Morbius says the camera(and audience) will know what he is iphhoone blind……
    they proceed on…..

    Morbius: do you wants to know what the MATRICS is?
    Nebo: yes

    Morbius takes both hands forward with mobile phone in each hand
    Right hand - Nakia
    Left hand slightly forwarded than left - iphhoone

    Morbius: Choose carefully, for is your Last chance to enter ;) the matrics
    Nebo: How should i choose?
    Morbius: Choose from my right hand and you are free to choose from any carrier and plan; and multitude of free and paid applications (including grugle voice search); the cost is variable depending on your requirment - business; gaming; music or just calling and texting, touch and keys anythiing…..
    Nebo: Wow, freedom……. yes……
    Morbius: Wait, dont jump to conclusions, if you choose from my left hand, you get the “in” thing….. ya…….
    Nebo: The “in” thing?
    Morbius: Comes at dirt cheap price, great touch screen…….(pause), and carrier services as well…. with the contract that you get to see the MATRICS!!!!
    Nebo: And……
    Morbius: you also get acess to the Ichunes app store…….. but once you have chosen it; you can not go back……. and change your carrier for next …….next……Few…… days……
    Nebo: Few days..???
    Morbius: About a thousand days…….the carrier is going to be AS&S……..
    Nebo: ASS?
    Morbius: yes, AS&S!!!!

    Nebo gets an old Nakia out of his right Jacket pocket……..
    Fires the in built calculator….. calculates the cummulative cost of running the in iphhoone……
    Mulls with the numbers……

    Nebo, then picks both the phones from Morbius’ hands…. looks at the plastic built of iphhoone……

    Finally, hands over his old Nakia to Morbius and puts the iphhoone into the trash can……….

    Morbius, in shock, gets rid of the goggles, …. , without an iphhoone and with an old Nakia he can see for the first time clearly……

    Nebo himself keeps the newest Nakia EE72…….

    Morbius asks for a lift home……Nebo, picks up a Morbiua and are good friends now……………Far out side the iphhoone MATRICS………

    Moral for the really mobile project and readers: everything for free is not good…….., at least when it comes with a contract……… need to tell such things to your readers……. a review independent of the rewards from the manufaturer…….

    good boy… good night

    Here is my idea…. hope i get to choose first from the 3 Nak….errr….. Nokias……

    Idea 1.

    Daddy telling the really mobile project a bed time story……..

    Story Name: Matrics, the mobile Revolution

    The movie starts in a dark room with 2 people(Morbius and Nebo) wearing black goggles, . . . .
    Nebo suggets to open the goggles(as the room is Dark), Morbius says the camera(and audience) will know what he is iphhoone blind……
    they proceed on…..

    Morbius: do you wants to know what the MATRICS is?
    Nebo: yes

    Morbius takes both hands forward with mobile phone in each hand
    Right hand - Nakia
    Left hand slightly forwarded than left - iphhoone

    Morbius: Choose carefully, for is your Last chance to enter ;) the matrics
    Nebo: How should i choose?
    Morbius: Choose from my right hand and you are free to choose from any carrier and plan; and multitude of free and paid applications (including grugle voice search); the cost is variable depending on your requirment - business; gaming; music or just calling and texting, touch and keys anythiing…..
    Nebo: Wow, freedom……. yes……
    Morbius: Wait, dont jump to conclusions, if you choose from my left hand, you get the “in” thing….. ya…….
    Nebo: The “in” thing?
    Morbius: Comes at dirt cheap price, great touch screen…….(pause), and carrier services as well…. with the contract that you get to see the MATRICS!!!!
    Nebo: And……
    Morbius: you also get acess to the Ichunes app store…….. but once you have chosen it; you can not go back……. and change your carrier for next …….next……Few…… days……
    Nebo: Few days..???
    Morbius: About a thousand days…….the carrier is going to be AS&S……..
    Nebo: ASS?
    Morbius: yes, AS&S!!!!

    Nebo gets an old Nakia out of his right Jacket pocket……..
    Fires the in built calculator….. calculates the cummulative cost of running the in iphhoone……
    Mulls with the numbers……

    Nebo, then picks both the phones from Morbius' hands…. looks at the plastic built of iphhoone……

    Finally, hands over his old Nakia to Morbius and puts the iphhoone into the trash can……….

    Morbius, in shock, gets rid of the goggles, …. , without an iphhoone and with an old Nakia he can see for the first time clearly……

    Nebo himself keeps the newest Nakia EE72…….

    Morbius asks for a lift home……Nebo, picks up a Morbiua and are good friends now……………Far out side the iphhoone MATRICS………

    Moral for the really mobile project and readers: everything for free is not good…….., at least when it comes with a contract……… need to tell such things to your readers……. a review independent of the rewards from the manufaturer…….

    good boy… good night

    Ok I got carried away with the Haikus:

    1) First for an ode to the N97 or other phone with issues:

    Software with glitches
    An update “over the air”
    How much does it fix?

    2) more of a success for nokia now:

    Free Navigation
    Now Ovi opens a door
    Only for some phones

    3) For all manufacturers and their press releases:

    Whizzy eye-candy!
    Finger Friendly Touch U.I.!
    Marketing Bo**ocks.

    4) More relevant to TRMP:

    Ovi store horror,
    Will you still provide us with
    Hannah Montana

    5) And again:

    Loved the Seven One
    Replacements are all lacking.
    Keep trying Vicki.

    6) back to the N97. It deserves it:

    N nine seven has
    Issues with multitasking
    Does anyone else?

    7) For the other phones in this competition:

    Small screen not even
    Touch screen. Will it be ok?
    Nokia says yes.

    But the movie just seemed obvious to me. Initially I wanted to suggest a brit-gangster flick. But… Not really. It‘s not your scene. However, a heist movie…
    The Really Mobile Hustle.
    See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/realhustle/meetthehustlers/
    And: http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle/characters_actors.shtml

    Stap line could be:
    Can you cheat an honest normob?

    I’ll have to let you decide amongst yourselves as to which of you is the smoothest talker, security geek, enforcer etc though. Obviously any such movie has a need for Vinnie Jones which is a bit of a poser. Volunteers?

    Here’s my official contest entry:) :

    Dear The Really Mobile Project,

    My son, as I see you sprawled on the couch while leisurely sending tweets to your online buddies, I am suddenly transported beyond the present (dismal) reality and I am filled with glorious visions of website critics hailing you as the most cutting-edge of technology websites, of advertisers flocking to our door, of you landing interviews with talk show hosts left and right, of you driving your brand-new car to your brand-new condo unit in the heart of the city…

    And so your loving father has decided to give you a few gifts to inspire you to move out of my basement- er, I mean, to become the successful yuppie that I always knew you were meant to be.

    GIFT # 1: A chic designer suit and patent leather shoes
    Look, I know your baggy jeans and SpongeBob T-shirt are super comfy and provide good ventilation on warm days. But, flesh of my flesh, your current outfit won’t land you on the cover of any magazine, whether it be fashion or business-oriented. Neither will it help you snag a more stable and high-paying job. I may be an old fogey but I do know that image works wonders. So put on your impeccable new outfit and smart leather footwear (and maybe some cool but classy bling to show that world that you are professional and yet funky and hip at the same time; you are in the tech business after all). And as you do, perhaps you will also be inspired to add a bit more flash elements to your homepage and make its layout a little more modern and eye-catching. Take a few fashion points from your old schoolmates, CNYT and Wyred.

    GIFT # 2: A slick Bluetooth headset
    Always keep it close to your heart (figuratively), always keep it close to your ear (literally). Yes, even when you are not talking to anyone on your mobile phone. Why, you ask? Um, I’m not really sure. But hundreds, if not thousands, of business men do this to seem impressive and even intimidating so you might as well go with the flow. And as you make my second gift a semi-permanent extension of your ear, perhaps you can be inspired to talk in a more impressive manner. I know you are smart; it runs in the family. But your intelligence is not always immediately apparent to others, with your conversational, easygoing and, sometimes, even juvenile language. But there are several techniques you can use to easily sound smart or even smarter than you really are. For example, by using the words “analysts” and “trend” at least twice in an article and by smattering your blogs with a healthy dose of statistics you can immediately sound so… believable. Whether you understand the implications of these numbers in the real world or not, you can instantly make your readers feel like you really, REALLY know your stuff. And for more additional credibility brownie points, how about calling all of your regular staff members “editors”? Yes, all four of them. Who will write what they edit, you ask? Erm, I guess all of them can write stuff and then they can all edit each other’s works. And there are all these guest contributors’ articles they can proofread too, of course. You sound dubious. But trust me! CNYT has been doing it for a while and it works. After all, an article by an “editor” seems more special than by a mere “writer” or “blogger” *sniff*

    GIFT # 3: A genuine hardwood desk with double lacquered finish and multiple drawers
    As I shake off the potato chip crumbs from one of your articles and glance through it, I admit that you do have some pretty interesting ideas. You really are a chip off the old block. But the half-finished peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich on top of the pile of printed articles on your table does discourage one from finding the stuff one is interested in reading about. In short, I love you but your room is an awful mess. (And I have a hard time understanding why because I am in the business of ORGANIZATION!) Nevertheless, I am hoping that your shiny new desk, aside from making you feel like a top honcho, will also inspire you to organize your articles by categories, like Wyred does. That way, if a reader wants to enjoy a post about a certain phone from Nokya or about one of the yPhone incarnations, he or she won’t have to wade through an ocean of articles to do so. He can have an easier time finding what he wants by going to the section dedicated to the topic or phone manufacturer he is interested in. Did you know that the Arena fraternal twins, phoneAryna and GSMAryna, even divide their cellphone reviews by sections? I will try to have the twins over for dinner one night so that I can introduce them to you. A pair of fine young men, these two, if bordering a little on OCD territory. Perhaps you can hang out with them more often instead of playing video games with your happy-go-lucky friends, like that AllAboutSymbyan *sniff*

    And last but not least, I would like to present you with…
    GIFT # 4: A designer leather cellphone case for the Nokya E75.
    What, you don’t own a Nokya E75? Oh, I know. I want you to keep this empty cellphone case as a subtle reminder of your filial affection for me. Once you make it big in the wide, wide world of the web, you can return the case to me, no longer empty, but with a shiny Nokya E75 inside as a nice gesture of thanks to me for opening your eyes to the wonderful possibilities of grown-up life.

    So now you’re all set. I wish you all the best. Now before the tears of paternal pride fall from my eyes, I finally end this letter.

    Your doting dad,
    The Really PDA Project

    P.S. In case the Nokya E75 is out of stock by the time you want to get one for me, a Nokya N97 will also do. What, I should also give you a leather case for the Nokya N97, just in case? You overgrown slacker, don’t you even have enough cash in your SpongeBob wallet to buy a lousy cellphone case?!

    [WRITER'S NOTE: All of the jests directed towards the technology websites (semi-indirectly) referred to above is just good-natured teasing. I am a regular visitor to most of these sites and consider some of them to be my favorites. That includes TRMP's “slacker friend”, AllAboutSymbian, which I check out almost every day and where I learned about this contest:)]

    Dear son,

    I’m writing this letter to you because I feel I can’t reach you anymore, since you’re always looking at that little gadget in your hand you’ve been quiet, we never talk anymore, I wouldn’t be surprised if your written work is failing and I know your friends are beginning to worry about you.

    I just hope that one day we can reconcile, like Jan & Bob’s kid, Wired. Look how healthy he is - he gets out there, he rides on the train, you even see him on planes & busses… I know he tends to spend a lot of time hanging out in people’s bathrooms but it’s probably because of all that American food he eats. I know he still acts like you sometimes, especially now he’s due to get one of those iPad things that your friend Steve has been talking about recently - we love you, you’re bright, intelligent and funny and by god, you certainly know yourself. I just wish I could see what you’re like without a gadget.

    I know you say “but Dad, this is the 21st Century” (try telling that to South West Trains) but time spent in places without those gadgets can be just as important - I like gadgets too, we can talk about them… maybe just when you can’t get signal?

    Yours,

    Dad.

    Set in the back drop of a fast decaying part of the Projects where mobile phones fight to control the world both online and offline.
    The daily battle for Kudos and application domination continues to dominate the daily talk on the streets.
    Will the smartest phone survive?

    After all it’s a phone eat phone world out here.

    Character - Cast by - Description
    The Don – N900 (a powerhouse Character with many flaws but it’s his brut power that keeps him at the top)
    Eldest Son – N97(He never seems to live up to his fathers expectations and will always live in the shadow of his little brother)
    The little Bother – N97 (His fathers favourite son, and surely the next to take over the streets)
    Ema “the Messenger” - E72(This is the Don’s right hand man, he is the only man trusted with confidential information)

    Igor – iPhone (This is the Don’s main villain at the moment he dominates much of the streets, but with the Don’s power of Multi-tasking who can tell how this will play out)

    Lex – NexusOne (One of the many loved members of the Android family, If this movie has a sequel expect to see more of Lex and his family)

    TRMP – Director (Because you guys have a very good grasp on what the various devices on the mark have and don’t have and how they should be used in the world we now find ourselves living in)

    Here's my official contest entry:) :D ear The Really Mobile Project,My son, as I see you sprawled on the couch while leisurely sending tweets to your online buddies, I am suddenly transported beyond the present (dismal) reality and I am filled with glorious visions of website critics hailing you as the most cutting-edge of technology websites, of advertisers flocking to our door, of you landing interviews with talk show hosts left and right, of you driving your brand-new car to your brand-new condo unit in the heart of the city…And so your loving father has decided to give you a few gifts to inspire you to move out of my basement- er, I mean, to become the successful yuppie that I always knew you were meant to be.GIFT # 1: A chic designer suit and patent leather shoesLook, I know your baggy jeans and SpongeBob T-shirt are super comfy and provide good ventilation on warm days. But, flesh of my flesh, your current outfit won't land you on the cover of any magazine, whether it be fashion or business-oriented. Neither will it help you snag a more stable and high-paying job. I may be an old fogey but I do know that image works wonders. So put on your impeccable new outfit and smart leather footwear (and maybe some cool but classy bling to show that world that you are professional and yet funky and hip at the same time; you are in the tech business after all). And as you do, perhaps you will also be inspired to add a bit more flash elements to your homepage and make its layout a little more modern and eye-catching. Take a few fashion points from your old schoolmates, CNYT and Wyred.GIFT # 2: A slick Bluetooth headsetAlways keep it close to your heart (figuratively), always keep it close to your ear (literally). Yes, even when you are not talking to anyone on your mobile phone. Why, you ask? Um, I'm not really sure. But hundreds, if not thousands, of business men do this to seem impressive and even intimidating so you might as well go with the flow. And as you make my second gift a semi-permanent extension of your ear, perhaps you can be inspired to talk in a more impressive manner. I know you are smart; it runs in the family. But your intelligence is not always immediately apparent to others, with your conversational, easygoing and, sometimes, even juvenile language. But there are several techniques you can use to easily sound smart or even smarter than you really are. For example, by using the words “analysts” and “trend” at least twice in an article and by smattering your blogs with a healthy dose of statistics you can immediately sound so… believable. Whether you understand the implications of these numbers in the real world or not, you can instantly make your readers feel like you really, REALLY know your stuff. And for more additional credibility brownie points, how about calling all of your regular staff members “editors”? Yes, all four of them. Who will write what they edit, you ask? Erm, I guess all of them can write stuff and then they can all edit each other's works. And there are all these guest contributors' articles they can proofread too, of course. You sound dubious. But trust me! CNYT has been doing it for a while and it works. After all, an article by an “editor” seems more special than by a mere “writer” or “blogger” *sniff*GIFT # 3: A genuine hardwood desk with double lacquered finish and multiple drawersAs I shake off the potato chip crumbs from one of your articles and glance through it, I admit that you do have some pretty interesting ideas. You really are a chip off the old block. But the half-finished peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich on top of the pile of printed articles on your table does discourage one from finding the stuff one is interested in reading about. In short, I love you but your room is an awful mess. (And I have a hard time understanding why because I am in the business of ORGANIZATION!) Nevertheless, I am hoping that your shiny new desk, aside from making you feel like a top honcho, will also inspire you to organize your articles by categories, like Wyred does. That way, if a reader wants to enjoy a post about a certain phone from Nokya or about one of the yPhone incarnations, he or she won't have to wade through an ocean of articles to do so. He can have an easier time finding what he wants by going to the section dedicated to the topic or phone manufacturer he is interested in. Did you know that the Arena fraternal twins, phoneAryna and GSMAryna, even divide their cellphone reviews by sections? I will try to have the twins over for dinner one night so that I can introduce them to you. A pair of fine young men, these two, if bordering a little on OCD territory. Perhaps you can hang out with them more often instead of playing video games with your happy-go-lucky friends, like that AllAboutSymbyan *sniff*And last but not least, I would like to present you with…GIFT # 4: A designer leather cellphone case for the Nokya E75.What, you don't own a Nokya E75? Oh, I know. I want you to keep this empty cellphone case as a subtle reminder of your filial affection for me. Once you make it big in the wide, wide world of the web, you can return the case to me, no longer empty, but with a shiny Nokya E75 inside as a nice gesture of thanks to me for opening your eyes to the wonderful possibilities of grown-up life.So now you're all set. I wish you all the best. Now before the tears of paternal pride fall from my eyes, I finally end this letter.Your doting dad,The Really PDA ProjectP.S. In case the Nokya E75 is out of stock by the time you want to get one for me, a Nokya N97 will also do. What, I should also give you a leather case for the Nokya N97, just in case? You overgrown slacker, don't you even have enough cash in your SpongeBob wallet to buy a lousy cellphone case?![WRITER'S NOTE: All of the jests directed towards the technology websites (semi-indirectly) referred to above is just good-natured teasing. I am a regular visitor to most of these sites and consider some of them to be my favorites.

    I decided to pick the cast for “Really Mobile: The Movie”
    First I needed to find someone to play Nokia’s E55. THe first thing I read about it was that it was compact. My first thought was Gary Colemen or Wee-Man. THen I see they say it “looks elegant and austere”. So much for him. I then went with Hervé Villechaize. WHen chosing someone for the Part of the Nokia E75 I had read that it was “expensive. Call quality wasn’t the best” so that should be easy find someone that gets paid way more then they are worth, hell that could be most of Hollywood. I ended up going with Billy Bob Thornton
    . Hell that guy sucks and he makes huge bucks. Ok now was the part of the Nokia N97. Looking at reviews I found it siad it is “packed with features its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag, and outdated operating system ” so I was looking for someone with a lot of bling a bit on the big side over paid and out dated. That was easy I picked Will Ferrell.

    Dear son,I'm writing this letter to you because I feel I can't reach you anymore, since you're always looking at that little gadget in your hand you've been quiet, we never talk anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if your written work is failing and I know your friends are beginning to worry about you.I just hope that one day we can reconcile, like Jan & Bob's kid, Wired. Look how healthy he is - he gets out there, he rides on the train, you even see him on planes & busses… I know he tends to spend a lot of time hanging out in people's bathrooms but it's probably because of all that American food he eats. I know he still acts like you sometimes, especially now he's due to get one of those iPad things that your friend Steve has been talking about recently - we love you, you're bright, intelligent and funny and by god, you certainly know yourself. I just wish I could see what you're like without a gadget. I know you say “but Dad, this is the 21st Century” (try telling that to South West Trains) but time spent in places without those gadgets can be just as important - I like gadgets too, we can talk about them… maybe just when you can't get signal?Yours,Dad.

    Why Vin Diesel? So that Dan Lane can be his body double for some of the trickier stunts in the movie.

    Why Alton Brown? So that Alton Brown can fill in for Ben Smith in some of TRMP’s videos when Ben feels lazy.

    Why Janeane Garofalo? Because both she and Vikki are gorgeous and witty brunettes.

    Why Chuck Norris? Just because:D
