Nokia N97 Cityman Antitheft Device Keeps Pick-Pockets Away
August 5th, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •
The Nokia N97 is about $600 US dollars so it could be a target for pickpockets. Guest contributor Al and I received packages from WOM World Nokia that protect us from sneaky criminals by disguising our valuable (and beautiful) phones as really huge brick phones from the 1980′s. Take a look.
You can also watch this video in HD on Youtube.
Our very own contributor, Al customized his Cityman Nokia N97 with a very familiar ringtone.
We feel a little safer carrying our Nokia N97 Cityman Antitheft device around. Who would even think of touching these bricks?

First u look stupid with that double brick. Second: how heavy is it? Third: a smart thief might thing it's valuable because is a collector piece
I see only disadvantages for this “device”
devinbalentina on 5 August 2009:
Nice, those things can become collector's item. So keep it safe. With a black N97 it would look pretty cool.
Adi on 5 August 2009:
This is the stupidest thing i've ever seen on this blog. Absolutely useless and wud attract more eyeballs to my phone. Agree word to word with Cosmo.
Jakub Kocinski on 5 August 2009:

Any way a waste of money.

If this charges my phone, I would love to have one for use when at home…

oooops ! i did it again~=D
Søren Sprogø on 7 August 2009:
ROFL!
Hillarious
And I agree. If also served as a charger it could be used as a phone holder for the car. Would really extent on the “retro” feel when those bricks where called “car phones”.

How do you add a clips to a contact so it plays when the person calls? Is it only in N97?
