Nokia Search for N – WINNERS!

Sjoe, what a day!

Whilst driving over Oukaapse Weg, I got a call from Dee, who said my site was down, this was at 13h00, just when the 5th clue was meant to be announced – panic! Anyway, that was resolved quickly and the competition went on.

After receiving 2000 entries (HOLY MOLY), my mailbox crashed and all emails bounced, rofl!

Anyway, I won’t bore you, we all wana know who won, here are the winners:

1. Haydn du Plessis (Well done bud, what was the secret to getting your email through first?)
2. Dee Chetty (Man, you deserve it for all the Nokia blogging and brand loyalty you’ve given them!)
3. Steve Joffe (I don’t know you, at least I don’t think I do, well done!)

Thank you to everyone who entered – Nokia, Paul and I are very happy with the success of this campaign!

For those of you who are interested in what the answers were:

- Touch
- Widget
- QWERTY
- 32GB
- Ovi Store

I can’t wait to hear all about the phone once you’ve tested it out! *jealous*

    Well done guys, and everybody for being part of this competition :)

  7. Fe says:

    I think this competition was fundamentally flawed. My brother had worked out the answers to all the clues by yesterday (as a result of spending hours looking at all the different nokia websites and coming across one, which you published later on), and was penalised for it. Basically, the way of entering the competition via email was flawed. When I renew my contract next week, I will not be purchasing a Nokia. K, rant over…
    Well done to those who won! Enjoy the phone :)

    @StevenMcD – Ye man, grief, I get far too many competition rejections :/

    @Calvin – Hehe, ya, look there were tons of entries hey, yours was around position 40 hehe

    @saaleha – Absolutely!

    @DChetty – Nice one bro, you deserve it!

    @Haroun – Big up to you for your thankfulness

    @Fe – I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was flawed at all. Whether you could aquire the answers from a source or not, the premise was that it was the first 3 entries which arrived in my mailbox and your brothers arrived in position #31. I do agree about it relying heavily on the mailservers delivey management, and pulling the names out of a hat could have been better, but it was done fairly all in all, as no party was acted on differently to another :)

    @tj – ROFL!

  10. Congrats to all! I was in a meeting which ran late, came out of it just after 1. I already had a draft e-mail ready to send. Oh well, I’ll catch the next one. :)

  11. Steven Joffe says:

    All I can say is you had to be fast on the emails… :-)

  12. joe says:

  13. StevenMcD says:

    wow dude, thats a little harsh. if you gonna curse him you could at least get the spelling right…..

  14. loooooooooooooooool
    Oh well, unfortunately my test time for today was at the same time as clue 5 going live so I had no chance in entering it. Not to mention my one answer was a bit well.. biological :P

    Clue 3 – inserted into the sclera are 3 pairs of muscles ( 6 muscles in total for your eye )

    That failed hard :P

    Anyway well done to the winners, you fast bunch deserve it, while I sit and fiddle with this piece of crap I’m using grrrr :P

  15. Chris M says:

    It’s mostly about finding sponsors to be serious, I don’t have a big enough bank roll to put the dough in myself, trust me, I wish I did!

Got something to say? Go for it!
