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!

    Hire a decent 4WD, go out into the desert, and write my name in big cursive lettering on the N78 screen. Take that, stylus lovers!

    I would strap the phone to a roo, take it to an isolated area, then see how fast it gets home using GPS.

    I’d use it for my dog so that he can tell where he is and so he can make his own way home. He’s smart!

    I’d use the GPS to navigate my way between bars in the few European and U.S. cities that I’m visiting on a trip in August!

    Stop telling everyone about this competition, you’re ruining my slim chances of winning! If you’re not careful, I’ll use that GPS to hunt you down, Mr. Broughall! (when I win?)

    I have already submitted my comment, and naturally, want to win.
    However if I don’t win, I *really* hope that Steve does.

    Priceless.

    I’ll simply picture where I want to be (tropical island, palms etc) and it will magically transport me there and I’ll live happily ever-after. Sigh.

    I’d use it to tag my cars location so I can find it when I wake up after a big night!

    I’m near-blind. Having a working handheld GPS would make finding new places much easier, thus broadening my horizons.

    I wouldn’t use the GPS, I just like entering in compitions with no hope of winning. I like cheese.

    What is the point of having a GPS, when you live in a town with 3 streets? If I had to use it, I would mark every house in the town as a POI.

    Get my bearings precise, you see my “vestibular apparatus” came broke. I sometimes wake up upside down, without realizing.
