Nokia is taking a page from Samsung's book, and released a video directly aimed at the Apple iPhone 5, reminding in a more subtle way than the "barista" ads that consumers have more choice elsewhere...

Nokia's new color scheme with the wp8 lumia is really something we haven't seen before in a smartphone and the new handsets are an eye candy compared to the old black and white trend of the iPhone

i have a feeling that if this WP Color craze goes boom, iPhone will join in as well next generation and they'll reason that they had it on the iPods long ago.
just like with the Panorama, Notif Bar, Siri and all.

if apple tries to say they did colors first than Sanyo needs to come back in the picture and show apple what's up. does anyone remember sanyo 8100, 8200, 8300, and even 8400?

Did you notice the Ipod touch had colors? Testing the waters maybe?

Nokia may release in any colour but black & white will always remain most popular........

I didn't expect Nokia would fall on this pathetic level as Samsung did, but hey, these are difficult times, right? No.
They too don't understand the basic concept of marketing. Even the most amateur marketing "experts" know that anti-commercial is actually commercial.
So this is also more a commercial for iPhone, showing its social power, than it is a commercial for Nokia, that showes how small it is and tries to be like the Big Brother.

You wish!!! All apple has going for it is the law of first arrival. Innovation has declined greatly and Nokia is on an upswing. Lets wait and see......

I disagree. The Samsung and Nokia ads show how non-conformity and self-independence is good and how shallow and mindless the fruit company's product-buyers are.
I am yet again reminded of the Futurama episode "Attack of the Killer App".

It will be really interesting to see how well the 920 does when it is eventually launched. There has been a lot of hype and I'm still just about hooked on getting one.
The trouble is, as some people have stated on here, it's not available yet, and when it is available there are rumoured to be all kinds of exclusivity deals being done across Europe and the price looks like it might be a bit high.
Realise that WP8 hasn't been officially launched yet, but Nokia are playing a dangerous game in my opinion. By the time the phone is maybe available on my carrier, there will be any number of awesome new Android phones available, the new Blackberry 10 handsets, more WP8 handsets and Apple might have even got their act together on IP5.
920 does currently have some fantastic stand out features but the importance of these will diminish as time moves on. HTC have the same constraints as Nokia in terms of WP8 launch, but that hasn't stopped them announcing carriers and prices.
C'mon Nokia...get your fingers out of your bottoms and let's see what your plans are.

Very cool, but it was missing one thing that would have made a bigger impact, all the drones with their heads down should have been wearing white earpods.

Yeah, with them being taken out as it gets closer to the front of the line for discomfort and dissatisfaction

I would prefer that any lumia 920 with some batman special edition design, that could be a ikiller for sure

Batman??? Who you kidding dude??
These are not childrens toys... I am a fan of batman too, but no way i want batman on my phone.
I'll be like Alfred going though Bruce's gizmo.

I thought Samsungs commercials were funnier... I cant speak of the effectiveness yet. All I know is Nokia has made an amazing product and they should market the crap out of it (or market it while poking fun at kicking the crap out of inferior iProducts).
And I say that without trying to sound so strong.
