Win Another Nokia N78 On Giz AU

03_NokiaN78.jpg

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!

    It can guide me on my journeys with the least amount of effort and thinking, and on the way I can avoid tollways!

  • hugh

    by having a gps in my phone the goverment can track me with out having to put a chip in my arm.

    After a night out with the boys and my weak ability to hold alcohol, God knows the sorts of pranks they’ll play on me next; using the N78’s GPS i’ll be able to find out where the hell they’ve left me when I awake in the morning. >

  • Josh

    Two words, ‘Secret Agent’. Circumnavigating sewage systems with an approximate GPS reading will allow me to infiltrate my local J.B Hifi. Hello more gadgets.

  • Steven Yuen

    Cock-meat sandwiches won’t be on the menu if I can navigate to work on time. The boss discriminates ethnic minority driving.

  • Brett

    I’d use it to help me remember where I left my phone. Oh, wait…

  • Garth

    I’d use it to make sure I don’t accidentally find myself looking at the wrong part of Senator Steven’s “pipes”.

  • stevo

    I’d use it to locate the nearest public toilet, so that i can answer nature’s call quickly, without risking a fine for indecent exposure!

  • Steve

    I’d locate the Gizmodo AU office and ask for a job there so I can work with the brilliant Nick Broughall – or take hostages

  • cus

    I’d use it to help the iDrones find a clue.

  • Jak

    Clearly, GPS is best used for mapping. I could get rid of my Melways, geo-tag my snapshots, and make great use of Local Google search.

  • Adam

    I would think that one could do urban tagging, or even gps-navigated laser games, seeking out opponents with the navigation :)

  • Allan

    Yeah yeah. Just being honest.

  • Jace

    Firstly, I’d drop the N78 in my bowl of Chuck Norris’s urine to make Optimus Prime. Then use the GPS to track down Megan Fox.

  • Flav

    I would use it while on the can to see if I change my position only by using gut power alone.

  • griv

    *Hopefully* it would stop my girlfriend getting lost and constantly arriving late everywhere, clueless. zam!
    (It would at least give her less of an excuse).

  • Aaron

    As a pirate with dyslexia, it’s really hard to read a compass. It just keeps telling me winds are getting “Then Worst”? Help me. RRAAAAY!

  • Leon

    I would surgically place it into my brain so that I can’t get lost because people are always telling me “men can’t read maps”.

  • gomes182

    If i won i could finally use this to break the stupid canon law curse that is on me. My example being every time i lie to my boss saying that my car broke down, the next day my car DOES break down. So if i won the Nokia N787 i could use the GPS to navigate to whoever the hell invented the stupid canon law and bust a can of woop-ass on his candy ass. (Had to put a rock quote in there somewhere)

  • Jon

    I can’t see a star over the Jesus-phones manger. And I really need to deliver this frankenscence. GPS needed, please assist.

  • Jace

    I would use the GPS to find the damn Crystal Skull. I got a whole army of man-eating ants after me. Without it I’m doomed.

  • Sean

    i would use the gps to find the quickest way to school so i could sleep in on weekdays and still get to school on time.

  • Al-Amin Sajib

    As being a foreign uni student (and naturally with only few cents on pocket) i have very little to no knowledge about sydney’s streets. the first few days it even took me 20-30 minutes to get to my uni from The wynyard station which is supposed to be a 2 min walk.

    This days it take 2 min to get to my uni from the train station but it still take me an ages to find a shop in City (those unknown shops).. and for those job hunting days..when you should be on time (if not earlier for the interview).

    and added with that just a weeks ago i was full 9 minute late for that accounting job interview i was having a eagle eye on..(and as you can all guess the Hr Manager was really impressed about my time management)..

    So get back to business…as you can see how badly i need that GPS…

    And finally the queensland vacation that i had planed for this December will get a new face if i have this gps with me on that time…

    Now get back to prayer…and hope nick does have a good heart .:)_

  • Simon

    id give the phone to my girlfriend so she wouldnt have to keep rotating the ubd when i ask “when do i turn?”
