Wow! The iPhone hysteria has been a bit insane this past week, hasn’t it? Well, to try and counter the madness, we’re giving away another Nokia N78 to one lucky reader. Last week’s winner was Jon, who make me chuckle with his line about two tins and string – what can I say, I was overtired!
This week, we’ve got another N78 to give away thanks to Nokia. But this time, the question’s a little bit tougher: In 25 words or less, we need you to tell us: “What’s the best way you would make use of the integrated GPS functionality on the new Nokia N78?“. Answers in comments to this post – I’ll be judging this one on Friday at 5pm.
So start entering! This is your last chance at N78 greatness!

Monday, July 14, 2008 at 11:09 AMWe just recently had a team building day at the corporate office and it was themed amazing race. As teams we had to decipher clues and race around Perth to obtain pit stops/answers to complete the race. If I had the Nokia N78 with its integrated gps function, our team would not only be able to get locations entered into the phone but access street maps! We would be undefeated (This is assuming someone in our team can read maps).
Oh Nokia help us with your uber leet phone!
Go Red team! Go!
