Design A Headset, Get It For Real
Nokia is known for creative marketing stunts, and we like to let you guys know about them, too. The latest is called Nokia Music Almighty, and Nokia wants you to build your dream Bluetooth headset. The contest runs from now until the end of December, after which the top rated designs will be voted on, and the winners invited to a design event in London where they will actually create the very headset they designed, in a full working version! Very cool.
You get to start with your choice of the BH-604, BH-903, BH-501 or BH-503, and then you can either use a set of pre-selected design tools, or you can download a template and go to town on it on your own. Once submitted, your design will be checked out and then released to the community, where others can vote on it.
The last time Nokia did this, it was for special versions of the Nokia N76, and I took the opportunity to create my own camoflaged version. Not intending to let anyone down, I’ve done the same with this contest, and I’ll be sure to give you guys a link as soon as I can, so you can vote up the SG Camo design pictured above.
If you think you can do better, head on over to give it a shot, and be sure to leave a link in the comments to your design, so that other Symbian-Guru readers can check them out and vote!
Here is mine, please rate it if you like!

Which is better at insulation, the BH-503 or BH-504?
I want to use it for jogging, so insulation has to be good. Even a small gap can produce a whistling sound when air blows past.
Thanks.
@King Kong – the BH-504 was only announced, it’s not available yet, so we’ve yet to see.
