Nokia Rocks London at Lumia 800 Launch

There's no reason to even describe this. Just watch the video. It's awesome.

And thanks to everyone that wrote in about this.

I saw this a few days ago on YouTube. Deadmau5 is a great choice and those graphics were unreal. I hope they do something similar for the U.S. launch for the Lumia 900. The NYC giganto phone was sort of dull.

That was awesome! I'm sure all of those people were hyped to see Deadmau5. The last part reminded me of the scene in "A Christmas Story" with the secret decoder ring: "DRINK YOUR OVALTINE... wait, it's a crummy commercial?" Up until the end it was really awesome... :-)

This was only a few miles from where I work, so a colleague went to see this on the way home from work and said it was even better than the video. Nice to see the Lumia 800 is featured heavily on the Vodafone home page and is very reasonably priced (£36 per month for 2 years, with free phone, 900 mins and 750Mb per month data), so perhaps WP7.5 will start competing with all those Android phones. Will be getting mine in the new year when my current contract is up.

Excellent video and boy do these guys know how to advertise. Since I got my lumia phone I have already had one small update, and then Vodaphone have increased my download to unlimited for the next 3 months for free. Other than a battery issue which is to be addressed soon, everything is looking good.

That was awesome. Ubuntu hijacking the event before it started see http://youtu.be/ZKBpYwuk1Uw was just as awesome, if in a slightly different way!

Um. I'd say Ubuntu had about as much an effect on this as they did in the desktop PC market. i.e. "none" :)

Wow my post got a reply from Paul! BTW love the weekly podcasts with Leo and Andrew. You are so right about the Ubuntu effect on the desktop PC market. However my suggested awesomeness did not relate to this fact, but to the general hack sensibilities of the open source community. Well done the Ubuntu team for creating what was at best a great insider joke, that no doubt had a great motivational effect on the Ubuntu community. And Paul, didn't you know that we Brits love the underdog!?
