I still want him to make an April 1 video where he takes a bunch of mud, sand, and unsmelted ore, mixes it up, kiln fires it, and smashes apart the outer layer revealing a Nokia 3310.

That camera must be made by Nokia.

"'Nokia' Classic"....?? 0_o

Looks like they're planning to make them that way.

I'm confused; what does Nokia/Lumia have to do with underwater photography? Are their phones waterproof to 10 meters or something?

so sad that this is brilliantly assembled digital fake 30 years after the fact...For phone campaign...Nokia no less.

Do you work for Samsung, Nokia, Apple or something?

Cause.. how the f*ck could you know?

Yep, I've gone from "meh, superman" to "hey this actually looks cool".

But honestly, the marketing side is really starting to grate. I want to watch a friggin movie. I am NOT going to eat Burger Kings shitty food or buy a freakin' Nokia. And if Superman goes for a burger or talks about how awesome his phone is during the movie, I'm walking out of the theatre.

Nice try, Nokia.

The instant you offer a modern phone with a keyboard running MeeGo, I'll buy it Nokia!

Indeed, looks like a Mercedes W123. As solid as a Nokia, perfect to run over your mother-in-law.

The only movie I saw more than once in the cinema. And a few dozen times on DVD (hell yeah at first I owned a VHS of this movie... it's so damn old). But never, until today did I notice this ultra obvious Nokia product placement in this scene. Guess I'm getting old and frustrated

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You won't get much of an argument from me. If having high productivity and a lean economy means mirroring the US's diminishing middle class - I'll take Australia.

I do worry though. The Australian economy seems to be built on two pillars - resources and government employment. That's not a very diversified basis for country building. Where are the Apples, Nokias and Hondas of Australia?

@dag, well I can't doubt your thoroughness. Suffice to say, there is a fertile debate about labour productivity in Australian economics. What you have described anecdotally is a small price to pay for Australia's remarkable economic success - a price any country north of the equator would be happy to pay.
Here are some arguments to the contrary:

The idea is to illustrate the concept.
Phones don't shoot footage usable in ANY real commercial setting.


And no one really expects them to. So why bother lying in such a clumsy and obvious fashion?

Shoot the ad in IMAX for all I care, just don't claim it was shot on the phone.
