Symbian in Motion

Odds are pretty good that you’ve already read about one Nokia’s latest mysterious dedicated sites. You might have even experienced it for yourself. If not however, it’s high time you head over and Face the Task.

Face the Task is a site dedicated to the upcoming Nokia N96. Billed as Nokia’s latest multimedia computer, I’m sure I don’t have to remind you of the specs on this beast. With its Face the Task campaign, Nokia is giving everyone the opportunity to be among the first in the world to own the N96 (a numbered limited edition no less). So how can you get your hands on one?

Click through to the website and watch the six videos. These six video, by the way, are incrdibly well made to say the least. Once each video has been watched, the link at the bottom center of the page will be unlocked. You will be given two choices:

1. Enter to win: Answer one question and fill in your details to enter. Hope you paid attention dring the videos!
2. Donate to the WWF: By donating €759 ($1,208 at today’s exchange rate) to the World Wildlife Fund to benefit Red Pandas in Nepal, you will receive a special limited edition N96.

There’s a catch to number two above however. Since these special N96 handsets are limited in quantity, you’ll have to hit the site at just the right time in order to pick one up. The next opportunity is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 13:33 UTC. Benefit a good cause, be one of the first to own Nokia’s new flagship phone… Win, win.

Sure we’re all S60 fans here on SiMo, but I doubt anyone would refuse a free 16GB iPhone 3G in your choice of black or white. :)

Go on, enter the contest. Hey if you’re a diehard and you win, you can always just sell it off and grab yourself a shiny new E71 or something…

Win a 16GB iPhone 3G!

I tried to convince him to just give it to me but he went a different route. ;)

My loss is your gain! So how do you enter for a chance to win the US version of Nokia’s FP2 gem?

1. Hit this link
2. Fill out a 2-minute survey
3. Post a comment on BGR
4. Win! (hopefully)

Best of luck SiMo readers, make me proud. And hey, if the winner lives outside of the US we can even talk about swapping it for my Euro model. ;)

All I can say is… WOW! I definitely didn’t expect so many entries for this contest - I ended up with just over 50. I also had no idea just how creative some SiMo readers are! Narrowing this down to four winners was unbelievably difficult. In fact I ended up narrowing it down to 10 entries and using a random number generator to pick the four winners. A big thanks to all of my great readers who took the time to submit a photo and if you weren’t one of the lucky winners this time, don’t despair. There will be plenty more opportunities in the future to score some free stuff so stay tuned.

In the meantime, a big congratulations are in order for our four winners!

And last but certainly not least, Sergio S:

I’m sending out the prizes right now so winners should find their free licenses before they even see this post. A big thanks once again to everyone who entered this content and to Psiloc for making a great app and giving it away for free to a few lucky SiMo readers.

You didn’t think I’d let Psiloc get away without forking up a few free license codes for SiMo readers, do you? Well actually, Psiloc loves SiMo readers almost as much as I do so they were happy to hand over a few free license codes for you guys. :)

So how will I give them away this time? Like the title says, just raise your hand if you want one…

Email me at zach ~at~ mobile9 ~dot~ com with a picture (or a link to a pic hosted somewhere on the net) of you holding your hand up and showing me that you want a free license code more than anyone else! Don’t worry if you’re shy, you don’t have to include your face - just your hand / arm. By the way if you’re wondering what the best way to get your pics to me might be, why not take the pic with your S60 handset and upload with Nokia’s Share Online or with ShoZu? Don’t forget to use Psiloc Connect as your Access Point to ensure that your upload goes as quickly as possible! Then just shoot me an email with the link to your photo on Flickr, Twango or wherever else. Easy as pie.

Next Wednesday morning, May 14, I’ll pick four entries and the people who email them to me will get free unlimited-use license codes for Psiloc Connect. Sweet!

Remember, by entering this contest, you’re giving me permission to post your photo entries here on SiMo when I announce the contest winners. Good luck to everyone who enters and don’t forget to have fun!

UPDATE 2:20, 5/6: Keep those entries coming guys! I’ve got over 20 so far and some of them are VERY creative. :) Those of you who have entered without an original photo, make sure you follow up with a pic before next Wednesday to be eligible!
