The OVI Blog has a great contest going on, perfectly fitting this holiday season. They want to know “How you would use a Nokia N8 to stay connected this December?” Basically it comes down to:

1.Tell them how you would use a Nokia N8 to stay connected this December in a short blog post (max 200 words) or a short video (max 2 minutes). Please check the contest rules if you want to know more.

2. Check back on Dec 13^th to see which top postings were selected.

They’ll send Nokia N8 devices to loan out for the holiday season to a few lucky users and if you show them and all the Ovi fans, how you used the Nokia N8 with Ovi to help you over the holidays they will give the Nokia N8 as yours to keep as a New Year’s treat!

This is my entry:

“As the family gathers to share presents, everyone is happy,

But sitting in the corner, both the laptop and camera share a frown, a bit unhappy,

Last holiday season they were the hit, the center of attention,

But now that I got an N8, there seems to be a bit of tension!

The laptop says: “I’ve got an HDMI port too and I can go online, but he just won’t notice”

The camera: “Yeah, I’ve got the 12 megapixels and I’ve got auto-focus!”

As I take my pictures and upload them to Flickr,

Both of them seem to get angry and bitter and bitter,

When they see me share pictures using USB-on-the-go,

They decide scratch its screen and put it out the door

If only they knew about the gorilla glass screen,

They’d know that even with keys in your pocket, scratches remain unseen,

Before they can get close I put the N8 in my pocket,

The laptop is quickly reminded, that he’s not that mobile and better stay close to the wall-socket,

They decide to just sit close to the Christmas tree and decide maybe it’s time to step down,

But they hope that by the next holiday season they are still around.”

Gaming on the N97 mini is easy, but gaming on the #N97minitrunk is not. Not only does it lack power, but the lack of QWERTY keyboard and directional buttons make things a bit difficult. Thankfully it’s loaded with goodies that made gaming on a large scale possible. Only problem is that it did require lots of energy to play a simple game of Snake. Next time I’m sticking to the N97 mini.

Earlier parts of the story can be found here: Unboxing, Challenge 1, Challenge 2 and Challenge 3.

Challenge 3

Both mini and the trunk showed Denirah that here music listening habits were more 1940s than 2010. With the press of the multi-tasking button she got the gear to match the year: N97 mini and full wireless sound with the BH-905. Denirah, your sound has officially been pimped!
