If Nokia phones are good for anything, it’s to take pictures with. And like the world’s smallest stop-motion video before it, the world’s LARGEST stop-motion video was shot using a Nokia N8 (and a super tall crane).
Two people on two continents heading in two different directions. But when their paths of travel are placed side by side, they’re not so dissimilar after all.
We’re hardly the target audience for a pink phone and Lady Gaga-esque visuals, but Nokia’s latest commercial does make me laugh. Or weep, when I remember that Nokia’s stock prices are at a 13-year low.

On a hair-raising morning commute, Slumdog Millionaire‘s Dev Patel encounters a gun-toting traffic cop, ninja bankers and… Chuck Bass. It’s eight minutes of slick, silly fun, and it was shot entirely on a smartphone.
The US team isn’t going to review the Nokia N8. They describe it as “irrelevant before it launched… Like a top-of-the-line horse-drawn carriage released shortly after Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.” But should you still be interested in the phone, it’s launching November 1 in Australia.
