Nokia Goes Where No Product Placement Has Gone Before

6 replies · 1,708 views · Started 28 April 2009

Everyone else at AAS has asked if I can get as many Start Trek puns into this news story – the Nokia 5800 Star Trek edition coming out on May 1st in the UK (and I'm assuming a few more territories as well). And you know what? I'm not going to, because this is actually a pretty savvy mode on their part.

Read on in the full article.

They should have done a version with some sort of transparent flip open cover (that also answers a call in speaker mode when you flp it open).

That really would have been a proper startrek phone. It would help protect the screen as well, but that's not important 😊

Perhaps some of the 3rd parties can jump in and do some startrek flip cases.

How the heck are they going to do product placement for a current product in a film set hundreds of years in the future?

A bad move by Nokia I would say, it never pays to associate with a geeky, nurdy culture like the trekkies. I though it was supposed to be a music phone? Leave the saddo stuff to apple please.

Apple did the interior of the Enterprise. Besides, the 5800 was in the Dark Knight so that instantly makes it cool.

They 'could' have ported the LCARS theme's that are available for the NIT's (Nokia Internet Tablets).

Does this mean the Enterprise will have a crappy camera, be unable to teleport files in or out to other ships in the fleet or star bases (without being in a star dock), have NO satelitte navigation system, and only be able to perform one mission at a time? :con?
