I went to see Casino Royale this evening and apart from the scene with the rope, the bottomless chair and some ‘rendition’, rather enjoyed the whole escapade.
I don’t recall ever noticing what phone James Bond used before. I remember that in previous movies, he controlled his swanky BMW with a Nokia Communicator but somehow, I didn’t feel that counted as a ‘proper’ phone.
This movie is ALLLLLL about the K800. It’s absolutely everywhere — that, and the M600i (or possibly the W950i). Of course, this being Bond, he doesn’t ponce about with your common-or-garden ‘could have bought this in Carphone Warehouse’ K800. No. He’s got himself a different coloured K800. Silvery white.
So’s she. The girl who works for the Treasury, his love interest, flounces around with the M600… not in black/brown, but in a rather fetching white.
You can get yourself a limited edition James Bond K800 (or K790i) if you look about.
Nice one Sony Ericsson. Excellent use of brand integration.
Update: For a bit more on branding, check out Strategic Name Development’s blog on the subject.
With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?
