THE GUYS OVER AT mobile comparison site Omio are giving away a Nokia N97 smartphone in a Halloween themed competition.
Be warned though, you do have to be on Twitter to be in with a shot.
To snag the phone you'll need to create some sort of mobile related Halloween picture or video, then follow @OmioDotCom on Twitter and post up a link to the image or video with the #ScareOmio hashtag in your Tweet.
The competition runs for the month of October and at midnight on All Hallows Eve the Omio guys will judge which entry they deem the scariest and select the winner accordingly.
For all the details and a gallery of some entries already in, head over the competition site.
We know the N97 isn't the best phone around, but it's better than nothing and if you win you could always flog it on Ebay and buy yourself an HTC Hero. µ
Thanks but no thanks. It's a shit phone, end of!
Have you ever used one or are you just basing your opinion on the Jobsian arse sniffing reviews?
FYI, I own one, it's a perfectly good phone. There are a few quirks as any new phone has, but firmware updates will sort those out, and none of them impact it's basic phone/camera/mp3 player operations.
Plus it supports all the GSM network standards like SMS/MMS properly right from the start, unlike certain fruit themed fashion icons. Not to mention flash and java which St Jobs doesn't approve of as it's not really your phone, even after you've handed over a big chunk of cash for the privilege.
N97 32gig storage, 1200 minutes, unlimited text/data, £35 a month, phone £0.
HTC Hero is from arse.
THESE day Nokia has the best services and the sales, But beware of the fakes that come from China and the burning chips that are in the PC. Again we may be using these batteries in the Cars so says Toyota.
Get the last word in: apologise
To KEEP flies away try these. One restaurant owner has man many plastics zippers pockets with copper coins inside with little water hung on the walls. The chemical smell keeps the flies away. This is proved, as the pong of the plastic is bad for the flies
Help line: "Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh, huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power failure."
"A power... A power failure? Aha, okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
I thank you
