Competition: Win a Nokia 6121 Classic phone!

Thanks to Vodafone New Zealand, we have a Nokia 6121 Classic phone to give away on the g33k show! Tell us which Hacker hero did Chelfyn re-animate in Episode 3? Congratulations to Mark Hackett for winning!

We've been playing with our very own Nokia 6121 phone in the studio all week, snapping pics and shooting clips for a 'Making of  the g33k show' series. I've not had a new phone for years, in fact my trusty old Nokia is about (ahem) seven years old which is positively pre-historic in modern mobile terms. I didn't see the point of upgrading until the phones, cameras and plans got a lot better. I'm happy to say that our foray into the modern mobile internet has been really easy.  We've been very impressed with the user interface, the quality of the camera for both video & pictures as well as sound & screen quality. We can also see how great the g33k show will look when we start podcasting as mobisodes.

The Nokia 6121 is designed for accessing the mobile internet, making and sending multimedia messages. I put my old pre-pay SIM card in, had a fiddle and was amazed to see the g33k show website on the phone within a minute. Vodafone have worked on a technical backend to their mobile internet service, that reformats webpages for easy viewing on a mobile screen. Best of all you no longer have to sign up to a mobile internet plan, and can go online when you need to for a $1 a day.

Vodafone New Zealand say...

The new $1 a day casual rate gives customers up to 10MB of data – more than enough for most casual users on their mobile devices. No matter how many times you access the internet in that one day, the rate is $1 for the whole day up to 10MB. Customers will receive notification before they reach the 10MB limit. Once they go over the 10MB data limit, they will be charged at $1 per megabyte and users who regularly need more can take advantage of a suite of data plans.
