ReplyDeleteThe most creative thing i've ever done with my nokia phone was to read all John Grisham's novel except for the recent ones with my nokia E90 using the mobipocket ebook reader
ReplyDeleteThe most creative things I have done with my Nokia phone is to
ReplyDeletea. Record gospel songs on them so that I can pray while listening to them anywhere, anytime.
b. Store reminders of appointments on my phone so that I can remembered about the appointments at least fifteen minutes to the time.

One of the most creative thing apart from daily blogging i've done with my Nokia Phone was helping play out some mixed songs at a friends wedding reception after being disappointed by the DJ who was hired. He (The DJ) called about 25mins to the commencement of the Wedding reception to say that his truck had a flat tire somewhere. My Phone was connected to a mixer which was played out via a mini combo and it did saved the day. People were dancing and jumping to the music without knowing what was playing it (Thanks to Nokia) - The end part was, i didnt charge the batt for about 3days before then and about 6mins to the end of the reception, we all heard tee tee (low battery) But sincerely, it did a great Job.
ReplyDelete100,000 naira? Jesus, that’s £400 in my money. I just checked online and it’s nothing less than £450 off net! However, with a contract/post pay, it’s free. I didn’t even get the I-pad 2 for that price. Okay, my excuse now is that i’m in the “Diaspora” so i cannot apply. LOL! I’ll need to ask them at work to see if i can test it and navigate around the functionalities. The phone looks “major!!”
ReplyDeletethe most exciting i have done with ,my nokia phone is to exactly co-ordinate my life and its affairs and this include checking my mails; which are so pertinent to my daily life,listen to my favorite tracks even without an ear piece; cos the volume is really loud and good to be heard from quite a distance,then get to steal pictures displayed on my favourite blogs which is the linda ikeji blog and then do my facebook,twitter and whatsapp,nimbuzz etc also take pictures with my friends and loved ones and listen to my favorite radio programmes...in essence my nokia is so multi-purpose for me... Anekwe Ifeamaka

ReplyDeleteThe most creative thing I have used my nokia phone for is to set alarm and wake up in the morning.. O yeah also calling and testing :D....
ReplyDeleteThe most amazing feature of my Nokia 6760-s is the quick office. As a Nigerian international student in a university where almost everything is online, i have all my lecture materials, presentations, study questions etc on my phone. With the "find" button i can search for specific information in any document fast & easily. During the dreadful "seminars" (compulsory orals with d teacher) i can peep 4 clues without my teacher finding out.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, the inbuilt dictionary with the ability to download languages is a big help. when i go to the market & i cant communicate with the Ukrainian locals, all i have to do is search 4 words & try to make them understand what i want.
I saw the e7 in a Nokia shop here in Ukraine, It's a real beauty. I would love to have one, if only i can afford it.
Hope OJORO no dey for hia o! Because all competitions in Naija are messed up. I trust Linda sha.
ReplyDeleteMy Nokia phone helped me in confirming my inlaw's infidelity, using the video rexording. And that has saved the family a huge lost , cos the BASTAD is a goal digger. Thank you Nokia and am serious abt this.

I love Nokia phones because they're so durable,they can fall down a million times and still function perfectly well.
ReplyDeleteThe most creative thing i have ever done with my Nokia 6500 slide is to take a picture of my daughter.I took a picture of my 11 months daughter,which turned out great,it was so lovely that i had to print it and frame it.Its hanging on my the wall of my sitting room and brings huge smiles on my face when i look at it.Most people think a professional photographer took the picture and i dont hesitate to tell them that my Nokia 6500 slide did the amazing job :-)
my lecturer gave the class a group assignment which was to be submitted in just 2 days.as the group leader i had to type the assignment on a friends laptop only for me to realise on the day of submission that my lecturer likes pictures to be added to his assignment and this earns one marks.i had to quickly google the images from my nokia e63,saved them,ran to a cafe close to my department ,printed the pictures and added then to the assignment.everyone in class was wowed about it and the lecturer kept praising my group for a job well done.thanks to my nokia e63.egwuatu obiageli.
ReplyDeleteLol @ Nigerians. Jesus, when Linda declare free Nokia fone, see as people they use real names, am sure alot of you people are people who would normally use Anonymous. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAbeg no fire me, cus I fear Niaja people and their firing sqaud as they did to me on another post.

Nokia is moving away from Symbian to Windows...
ReplyDeleteNothing Cutting edge about a technology that Nokia itself has admitted has reached the end of its life cycle...
Okay the most creative thing i have ever done with my nokia phone is composing ringtones with it. And boy was I good loool. That's really all I can remember. But then I must mention that that torch light in front of the nokia 1209 really came in handy especially when NEPA took light then hehehe okay thanks. #Bye :D

ReplyDeleteI had a job interview a while ago.
ReplyDeletethe interviewer had a stack of papers by his elbow(probably applicants resumes)and there was a glass paperwight on top to keep the papers in place because the fan was blowing quite a draft across the room.
When I was ushered in a clumsy move by the interviewer sent the paperweight to the floor and it shattered instantly. Papersscattered everywhere causing immediate chaos. i helped gather the errant papers and then he was now looking for a heavy object to use as paper weight. i solved his dillemma by offering my Nokia 8800 Sirrocco(we all know how heavy that phone was)and that did the trick.
He looked me in thew eye and said"i gusess you had better stay"
The GPS navigation systen on my E72 Nokia is fantastic I use it for business and it has helped a lot.its a high a performance device.
ReplyDelete@Anakwe Ifeomaka,see hypo......linda ikeji's blog has suddenly become your best, just 'cos you wonna win, the phone is not too xpensive so you can as well save and buy.

Anon April 6, 2011 4:24 AM; such perversion!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Ranti...only a fool recognizes a fool.
ReplyDeleteThe most creative thing I've done with my nokia phone....
ReplyDeleteit was with my nokia E63, whilst i was still in the university, I had an assignment due the next day that I hadn't done... and as always, power supply had gone kaput... My laptop battery was flat, all the cyber cafes in school had shut down....I was stranded.
So,I picked up my phone opened my web browser (bolt), begun research on the topic of the assignment via google... copied relevant portions and then opened the word processor on my phone (quick office) and started editing... after a few hours of going back and forth from web to document (thanks to the wonderful advent of multitasking) I had something to tender as an assignment.
All that was left was to wait for power to be restored, hook up my phone to a PC, edit the assignment properly on MS word and to the printers I went.....
Fun & creative huh? i hope i win!
This phone has a lot of features although there are a lot of phones in the market but this one is a must have phone loaded with entertainment.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, no Anonymous again. The most creative thing i have done with my Nokia touch light is simple! Use the touch light when Nepa misbehave.
ReplyDeleteI used my Nokia N8 board FM Transmitter to broadcast my tunes through my car radio.
ReplyDeleteI was also able to use my 3.5mm headset jack and the Nokia three colour A/V cable connected to my N8 to watch films on TV.
Awuf no dey run belle na abi Linda?
The most creative thing I've ever done with my Nokia 1200 was to use the touch light to illuminate inside Aero contractor flight no AJ317 from Lagos to Port-Harcourt last night around 8pm when they switched off all the lights inside the plane for few seconds when the plane taxied to a stop in Port-Harcourt.
ReplyDeleteThis shouldve bin a well dished-out April Fool. but its aii tho. Linda pls jst dont Jega-lize d participants oh...else ull tender ur resignation too...lol
ReplyDeleteNutin....cos ave neva used a Nokia phone.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Nokia always, my phone is small and the cheapest phone ever. Plssssss help me Linda.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a Nokia b4, this will be an opportunity for me to use it if I win. Thanks Nokia for considering me.
ReplyDeleteI used my Nokia radio for my birthday when my D.J messed up. Connected it to speakers and it performed wonders.
ReplyDeleteSo you are not going to update you blog because of this?
ReplyDeleteYou know miss Linda, this is realy a hard one. Nokia phones are designed to be used creatively,making you feel as if thats what a normal phone would/should do. Is it when i need to record calls? watch some DSTV when im bore in class? easilly download files of 400MB in 30 minutes? or stream from youtube? Wow my friends with high quality pictures and edit them 'creatively'? etc. The list goes on,thats a nokia phone for you (at least the ones produced within the last 5 years lol).
ReplyDeleteBut i gotta say, the most creative ive been with my phone is when i see a random design of a dress on TV, that i need to sew. ** you see i totally suck at drawing, and at describing stuff, so i just ***SNAP*SNAP*** it right there on the TV screen,and voila no more explanation needed to my tailor :) . This is extremely useful as i live in a very small local town where there are only petty tailors (bless them) and little r no fashion oriented stores. But i still gotta look trendy,cos it makes me feel gooood haha ...*phew
I love Nokia phones, they have unique features that I admire. Plsss I wonna win.
ReplyDeleteI'm an IT technician. One of the most creative things I did with my Nokia N97 mini was when I downloaded an antivirus update from avast! and transferred the file through b/tooth to an infected system at one of my client's offices at Ago-Iwoye in Ogun state.
ReplyDeleteAfter cleaning the system of all viruses, I used my N97's 8gb internal memory as a removable drive and did a back-up of my client's computer.
My Nokia N97 mini made my day and saved my client's valuable data! And this is apart from Ovi maps saving me from getting lost on more than one occassion in remote places in Lagos!
I want this phone, its my birthday on sunday plssss Linda.
ReplyDeletePls Linda, just for clarification, who is choosing? is it you or Nokia? Or there is another body like a PR company? I think we need to know. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNokia serves as expo for me in school. I download answers for my questions.
ReplyDeletePls when will the winner be chosen? And will be the judge? You or the brand?
ReplyDeleteI love you Linda, you are incredibly talented.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the phone but I can't lie unfortunately.
I WROTE AND POSTED SEVERAL NOTES, INCLUDING A SERIES TITTLED "DIARY OF AN OSUN CORPER" DURING MY SERVICE YEAR. THE DIFFERENT EPISODES OF THIS SERIES AND THE OTHER NOTES ARE AVAILABLE ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. "REITCHY SORICH UGO" AND ON MY BLOG richie-strokes.blogspot.com

@ akunyiba: just one question, if you have the nokia n8, what do you wanna do with the n7 phone.
ReplyDeleteMost of the useful (creative?) things I have done (still do) with my Nokia5800 have been software based. A few of them are hardware based.
ReplyDelete1). I have a software installed on my phone called “EXPRESS ALARM”. The software monitors the noise (decibel level) and emits a rancorous alarm when the noise level exceeds what you set-up inthe application. It can also dial another number once the the noise level exceeds your threshold.
I use this application as a ‘poor-man’s burglar alarm system. I put it in my car at night. If someone attempts to break into the car, my ‘alarm system’ sets up strident noise and dials my other phone close to my pillow.
I also used this application when wife newly put to bed. I put the phone with this software close to the baby’s crib at night. When the baby cries at night, the phone by the baby’s side dials the mother’s (not mine!) phone. The mum can then wake up to attendto the babe. I can continue snoring!
2) My nokia5800 has Tv-Out functionality. With this phone, I no longer need a dvd-player. I do not need to carry CDs about. I have lots of memory on themicroSD card.I convert the video CDs into MP4 format and the audio CDs into MP3.In this format, they are portable and last forever.
I then hook up the phone to my 32″ LCD Tv. The Tv is in turn connected to an amplifier system. Of course,to listen to FM radio, I also hook up my phone as earlier described. The difference in this instance is there is no video, but the surround-sound is just mellifluous!
3) I use my Nokia as my bedside clock. Using JBak Taskman, a digital, luminous clock is displayed on the screen. It is legible from 5 meters, in daytime. You can imagine the legibility at night!
4) I have a piano application on my phone (Pocket Piano). By connecting my phone to the Tv – again – You will imagine we have a full-sized piano performingwhen I start playing.
5) My phone is important tome. I have a software that guards the phone perpetually. The software uses the light / proximity sensor to do the magic. If I put the phone in my pocket, if anyone brings it out surreptitiously, he will ge a shocker as the powerful Nokia5800 speakers are deployed to emit a nerve-shattering, high-piched noise. Pickpocket caught! Put the phone in your purse, briefcase – anywhere where the sensor is covered. A sudden sustained (for some seconds) uncovering will deploy that loud noise.
6) Most homes have albums– with their wedding and other memory pictures. Problem is, the pictures deteriorate over time. Enter the Nok5800! I scan all my photos into digital format, place them on my memory card. Like the caseof the Cds, they last foreverin this form. I then use Resco PhotoViever to flip through my album. Connected to that big Tv, visitors can flip through photos. I am also able to dosome level of photo editingto enhance the quality of the ones that are not up to par.
7) Power being a major problem in Nigeria, we often need a torch. I have “Phone Torch” application which turns my Phone into a Torch. I also sometimes use this phone as a ‘hazard light’ as it can intermittently turn on/off the flash on the phone. The intrinsic ‘torch’ function – while present on may phones – is absent on the Nokia 5800
8) I often need to scribble things down. My phone makes it unnecessry for meto carry about a pen(cil) and paper. I use an application called ‘Stick Notes’ that allows me use the phone as a ‘Post-It’ yellow note
8) Being able to enjoy the services of my phone needsthat I use the battery parsimoniously. I have a my JBak Taskman that allows me attach a ‘display-liminousity-level’ to every application I have on the phone, I can also attach thisto any profile. In association with a programlike “Handy Profile”, you can instruct the phone to turn down the brightness automatically depending on prevailing conditions (such as current battery-level, whether it is day or night, e.t.c)
Kindly refer to a related article http://www.artwales.biz/?p=1043 for some other (creative?) uses to which my Nokia-5800 is deployed.
I have always been a fan of Nokia and its a rugged phone as well.cant remember how many times it has fallen.
ReplyDelete1) It has helped me in organising my daily schedule with the to-do list and calender.
I can also quickly scribble informations into the notes instead of looking aroung for a pen and paper.
2)The delivery reports for messages helps me in catching those that are lying they never got my messages.
3)It is also my alarm clock and i used the camera to take passport photograph which saved me money from going down to the photo shop.
Feyi Oyebade.
As a creative writer, you'll agree with me that it is impossible to remember everything i see, hear people do. What i do with my phone is to either record with the voice recorder menu or save as a draft message "ideas" that i pick up from what i see or hear people say that may be of help when i am writing. Over the years,this creative use of my phone has helped me in unimaginable ways plus it saves me the stress of always carrying around a spiral bound notebook...
ReplyDeleteUsed my N97 for video conferencing while chatin using frings bt unfortunately itz bin stolen
ReplyDeletewhen are we getting a winner...soon?
ReplyDeleteIs there a discount if we purchase the phone via your blog?
ReplyDeleteo boy eh! Ibukun Olaoya, I bow for your creative comment o! e be like Epistle..lol..Linda, you sure have a lot of work to do picking out your winner..lol...I love my naija peeps. Who no want Nokia E7? Abeg make una kari go!
ReplyDeleteThe most creative thing i have ever done with my Nokia 5800 is moving money from one of my accounts (which does not have an ATM card) to the one that has. This was when i needed cash urgently to buy some drugs at the hospital. I quickly did the transfer and walked down to a nearby ATM and withdrew the money.
