Nokia N8 ad innovators: the solderin’ skaters

Here's another of the projects featured in our launch TV spot for the Nokia N8. Each one is a real-life example of innovative hacks and modifications folks have devised using Nokia tech. Because it's not about the technology, it's what you do with it.

Keywan Tonekaboni, Nick Thomas, Jan Anlouff, Sebastian Zehe, Erik Weitnauer and Alexander Lenhard. Together they're the Solderin' Skaters.

With pressure pads, motion sensors, some intricate coding and a Nokia N900 in the skater's pocket, their real-world skate game (Tilt 'n' Roll) can recognise tricks and award points if they're successfully completed. Nice.

Our new campaign for the Nokia N8 celebrates the hackers, modders and innovators who take Nokia technology and do cool and surprising things with it. You can see the TV spot in the post below. Each of the projects featured in the TV ad is real. Here's the story behind another one – the Nokia N82-powered dancing robot. Robots are cool. Mobiles are cool. What could be cooler than a mobile-powered dancing robot?

And here are Ji-Dong Yim's Nokia robot phones performing in a music promo for LA-based band LMFAO.

Mobiles fashioned into men: it's the rise of the robots!
