Part-2 : " Open at Own RISK ! " gets crazier

This post is in continuation to the post made by me on July 1 {click here to see previous post} about the new Nokia promotional campaign "Open at own Risk" which nokia had been spreading through an exclusive website.

I had giving a few screen-shots of the website as it appeared at that time and it seemed to indicate that Nokia may release something nice on the coming Monday, i.e. today.

But shockingly enough, when I opened the website today to find out if there had been any launch, I was greeted by a "Notice of immediate Termination" for the website. I back-checked to see if I had made any typos in the address. No ... not the case. Better check out the site yourself here :
www.openatownrisk.com


What is more insane is that the notice says says that the owner of the website
...will stand before the trial, accused of intent to publish content driving peope insane.
Are you kidding me ??

People are still checking the site for some new developments but in vain {until now}. Maybe by the time you read this blog the site would be updated again but I would certainly try to keep a track of that.

What to say ... great creativity or foolishness on the part of Nokia ...

OK i do agree that the promotional campaign has been an interesting one and can be termed successful. Normally I do not follow these promos or write about them in my blog but this one promised something good and Nokia is quite trustworthy.

But since the release date was today and there has not yet been any change to the site, i hope that Nokia doesn't make a fool of itself. Because after so much of hype if the mobile phone manufacturing Giant fails to please us with something grand then its reputation is truly going to suffer.
Nokia, though, is still silent on what is going on.

Lets optimistically hope for the best ... !!

to be continued ...

P.S. : The original site is still available here in case you missed it : http://www.openatownrisk.com/teaser.swf
