N97 AntiTheft Device

Thought some of you guys might get a kick out of this-

Nokia N97 Cityman AntiTheft **Video** on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I dont get what happened.

[Sp00k]

The extra-large phone is a case, within which the N97 fits and can be used normally. The theory behind this is that thieves will have no interest in snatching such a plug-ugly low-performance, old-fashioned phone and that you can leave it around without the risk of losing it.

Although, as it's an N97, this seems to me to be over-kill... Now if it fitted a popular phone like the 5800, I could see more sense in discouraging the light-fingered brigade...

N.B. The over-large casing shown was given out as Promo? material and is NOT intended to be taken seriously!

From the packaging-

Ever worry about your Nokia N97 getting stolen? Worry no more! The Nokia Cityman-Antitheft is the ultimate disguise for your beloved device. Just slip your Nokia N97 in to the Antitheft to transform it to THE classic 80's phone! Who would steal a brick like that?

And yes, it is not a real product- just a gag from the folks at Nokia. It seems quite a few readers at AAS thought it was a real product. :-\

Yes, well- good luck to you, Tommie! I'll be offering you some healthy competition- been gearing up for it over the weekend since WOM dropped me an email last week. :-)

That N900 will be mine- for I AM the Cityman.

I too will be entering. Its a shame only Photos can be submitted, and not a video. Been hunting for 80's memorabilia to go with it too.

My ridiculous photo is up.

Where's your photo, Micky? Last day, you know... :-)
