THE Pomegranate Phone: Everything you will ever need

(please see link for the official website : http://pomegranatephone.com/)

The Pomegranate Phone. What more could you want?

This phone was released by Nova Scotia as a prank last 2008 (please see for Nova Scotia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia) It boasts of having everything that a person on the go will ever need. Some of its features include: a coffee maker, a shaver, a voice translator, a projector, and a cliche harmonica for those oh so boring meetings that you just need to get through.

The phone is the latest campaign by the Nova Scotia group for communications and tourism. They have been critisized for overspending, but no one can deny the great impact it has had, as well as the multiple hits. I personally love the coffee maker and shaver. Choose from the 4 flavours Columbian, Hazelnut, French Vanila, Sumatran Blend while doing your work or even watching a movie. Brewing takes exacly 30 seconds... AMAZING PRODUCT!!! (just like in Home shopping network) A phone where you could shave and talk with at the same time? I personally like the ad and the phone, and the fact that it was named after one of my favourite fruits is a plus to me.

This ad also came out at just when the MaC released the iphone and all the million applications it can do. I was actually shocked to know that the Iphone was named one of the best inventions ever. It is actually at par with the wheel and a better invention than space travel! (please see site for additional reading: http://www.hindustantimes.com/iPhone-in-world-s-best-inventions-list/Article1-545869.aspx ) I love the iphone, but to me this is a little ridiculous. I mean over space travel??? Come on!

I wish that the phone really did exist. It would be pretty cool carrying a handydandy phone like that, but im sure it would probably cost like half a million a piece! I do appreciate the great marketing plan that they did. I love ads that think out of the box, the phone is obviously fake, but so many people actually believed it to be true! So many posts were made after this, I even read some posts wherein people were fighting about the truth of the Pomegranate phone!

Well thats marketing for you. Kudos Nova Scotia! When you do make one, dont forget to send me one. Thanks!
