The Nokia Lumia 800 was used as a model by British Airways |
British Airways app allows for mobile-check in, flight information, and the ability to purchase tickets and make upgrades using your smartphone. The app is available for free from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, BlackBerry App World and Windows Phone Market. And while the airline could have picked an Apple iPhone, the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 or the Samsung Galaxy S II as its "spokesphone", it selected the Nokia Lumia 800. This could be the sign that something is about to take off besides an airplane.

UK networks have windows phone priced extremely low on contracts in order to try stimulate windows sales so it probably handy for a company like BA to be as cost effective as possible and choose a handset which costs the least cash outflow. That saying Nokia are generally in trouble worldwide with smartphones sales and many many campaigns have been launched in order to try get a boost with their sales so Ba might well have got these handsets free.

BA might have gotten this handset free from Nokia in a sponsorship campaign? Yes, this might be the case.
BA might have used his phone because it is "cost effective?" Probably not. In the scheme of a marketing campaign, spending a couple hundred extra bucks on a phone is not going to break the bank.
Or, you know, they could have just chosen the phone because they liked how it looks, and wanted to associate their brand with the look of this device rather than another one. Branding is important for marketers, after all.
