Nokia started a new campaign to promote its latest Symbian gadgets in India called iDoalotmore. It starts just a day after Apple launched the iPhone 4 there and is available on Nokia's official pages and billboards across the country.
The iDoalotmore campaign surely targets the potential iPhone 4 buyers in India and wants them to jump on Symbian instead. Are we the only ones that find the concept of such an aggressive anti-campaign not fit for the biggest cellphone manufacturer in the world?
The campaign accents fall on Nokia Maps, Music, Camera and Video, Video Calling, Apps and USB on the go. The models featured in the campaign may all have a trick or two that bests the iPhone 4, but iDoalotmore from a Symbian smartphone, really?
