- Nokia India "My Nokia Moments" Ad with Priyanka Chopra[/URL]

she tweets using Twitterrific on twitter.

and you know what? Twitterrific is a client only available on iPhone.

she does not use a Nokia smartphone herself.

Is Priyanka Chopra cheating on Nokia with the Apple iPhone?

Twitter / Priyanka Chopra: Happy 15th bday to nokia!! ... < this post congratulates nokia. and it is posted using Twitterrific.

need to add here... that client is also available on the mac/iphone/ipad/ipod touch. but i doubt she tweets using a mac all the time. coz all of her tweets are from the same client.

thats so ironic.................. poor Nokia

Nokia N8 is available on pre-order in Europe... Nokia N8 now available in Italy for pre-order

another point is that she might be tweeting from her ipad. she owns one from what i have heard. she 'showcased' it in a tweet to her followers.

but i still find it hard to believe that all her tweets are from the iPad 😉 and she does not tweet from her Nokia phone at all. 😉

[Sushubh]

Due to ship in select markets during the third quarter of 2010 at a RRP of €370[2] ($604; £384) before subsidies and taxes.
Nokia N8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

€370 = Rs. 22130
$604 = Rs. 28190
£384 = Rs. 27960

Now, add the premium Nokia would charge for this phone in the Indian market.

From what I read on some other forums, this is gonna be priced around 23K MRP.

 

[Sushubh]

Doesnt matter, N8 will not find many takers.Nokia still has the worst hardware and slowest os in the smart phone section. On top of that, no apps at all.Waste of money and time.
