Nokia/WOM World Targets Fashion Bloggers for Luxury Phone Trial

Nokia, via WOM World, recently invited me several weeks ago to try one of their luxury phones, namely the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. I replied to the email just the other day, lo and behold DHL delivered the package earlier this morning.

I was wondering how or why I was cherry-picked to do the trial considering my blog barely talks about tech issues or gadgets. However, based on my initial research on google blog search, it seems that fellow fashion bloggers The Fashion Assistant and Her Camera (UK), Dapper Kid (UK), Louis Vuitton Addicted (Australia) and Bagaholic Boy (Singapore) were also invited and they have already received their Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte phones before me.

Don't you think it's a very bold move for Nokia to reach out to fashion bloggers and courier them high-end phones for a free trial? Interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't get to keep this £1,000 (or approx US$1,700) baby. I have two weeks to try the phone out before I courier it back to London.

I'll keep you guys posted over the next few days with my review.
