Another cool marketing stunt from Microsoft and Nokia was spotted in Paris. A giant 10 meters high Nokia Lumia 800 in pink was unveiled and will stay there for the next few days. It’s situated at Champs-Élysées where pedestrian and road traffic are are very high especially right before the holidays.

Professor Thibault has some photos from the unveiling. Check them out:

According to the Professor, passers-by used the Nokia Lumia 800 magenta from hostesses dressed as elves to call the giant phone. Santa appears on the screen to pick up the call. Various features of Windows Phone 7.5 like the People Hub and Maps are then showed off.

This sounds similar to a recent Windows Phone event I attended here in New York City. Check this video out if you haven’t seen it yet.

I seriously can’t wait for Nokia’s Windows Phone devices for the US market so I can see more of these marketing stunts in my area! Have you seen a giant Windows Phone lately?
