Nokia N8 Foosball-themed viral video ad ready for release?
Nokia’s N8 smartphone looks to be as official as you can get without an actual press release from the company themselves – we’ve seen leaked photos, specs and mention of the high-end handset in internal data files – and it seems the N8 is far enough along the development process for Nokia to be thinking about advertising. According to a tweet from Danny Gagatt, he’s just finished helping visual effects company The Mill create “a Nokia Vasco viral”; Vasco is apparently one of the codenames for the Nokia N8.
The tweet – from April 2nd – has since been taken down, presumably as Gagatt became aware that Nokia wouldn’t be too pleased if their unconfirmed flagship had been prematurely outed. Still, thanks to a screenshot we know that the ad will have some sort of Foosball gaming theme.
As for the Nokia N8 itself, that’s expected to have a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and an HDMI output. The timescale for the viral video would certainly fit in with early launch rumors; Nokia were tipped to be announcing the N8 sometime this month, with retail availability in September 2010.
