Say what you like about Nokia’s claims that it’s now a services / Web 2.0 company rather than a handset manufacturer. But the company has certainly grasped the nettle of intriguing webby teasers. The latest can be found on a website called Somebody Else’s Phone.
It doesn’t tell you much, but ends with a picture of a phone (see right) and the message that it’ll ‘unlock’ at 5pm GMT today. The viral campaign has extended to Facebook too, with three profiles for Luca Marques, Jade Yu and Anna Randall that are tied in with it all somehow.
Well, it’s all good fun. There’s speculation that the new phone has something to do with N-Gage, but we’ll have to wait until 5pm to find out for sure. You can register your email address on the site too, to get an alert when the covers come off the new handset.
