Congratulations! You’ll be contacted by Nokia for the formalities.
These were the 5 questions for the contest that started on 15th June, 2009.
15th June, 2009
Q. It makes your internet experience more personal. What is it?
A. Widgets
Clue: “The Nokia N97 allows you to personalize your Internet Experience with Widgets. The phone screen can be fully personalized with frequently updated widgets of your favorite web servies and social networking sites. Widgets can thus bring forth a whole new personal experience to your Nokia N97.“
16th June, 2009
Q. Thanks to this feature, you won’t need a keypad. What is it?
A. “Touch” or “Touchscreen”
Clue: Advancement in technology have made it possible for everyday usage to be more natural. Form factors have improved and the experience have improved a lot — evolution from the Touch interfaces of day-to-day activities to the QWERTY to the new Touch Screen — consumers have evolved and are now looking for more intuitive interfaces.
Nokia have taken a paradigm shift with the new Touch screen on new Nokia devices. The Nokia N97 sports an intuitive Touch interface so you can personalize your home screen in an easy and interesting way.
17th June, 2009
Q. A virtual store that lets you store, share and access content.
A. “Ovi Store”
Clue: To make the hardware experience better and help the device evolve via appliations or widgets, Nokia have introduced the Ovi Store, where you can get more widgets for your Nokia phone. Ovi Store is a self-service, web-based tool that provides content providers and developers with an easy way to distribute and sell mobile applications and content to millions of consumers.
In short, Ovi Store;
- Delivers smart content recommendations based on user actions, handset and location.
- Supports a range of content types including applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web and location-based services and much more.
- Leverages Nokia’s scale to provide content providers, developers and operator partners with a potentially lucrative and unrivaled opportunity to target consumers.
18th June, 2009
Q. The first six letters in the modern day keyboard layout.
A. QWERTY
Clue: Be it typing or gaming or just navigating, consumers like to have different forms of inputs — touch, keypads and some prefer best of both worlds. An insight from the Axel Meyer, Global Design Head for Nokia is that QWERTY is important for gaming as people are used to using both their hands.
The QWERTY helps transform the product from a monoblock to a multimedia computer. The thought behind was to make a world class QWERTY with equal spacing between keys, spacebar to the side, consumers can use their 10 fingers to write, and also enables ease of use and speed of writing.
19th June, 2009
Q. Currently the largest storage available for any Nokia Phone.
A. 32GB
Clue: The Nokia N97 have a whooping 32GB built-in Storage and another 15GB expandable. Users can carry everything — music, games, emails, contacts, photos, videos and much more.

Best wishes!

This contest is exciting. Cant wait to answer all of these questions! really want the N 97!
The use of widgets on the homescreen of the N97 has made the N97 so much more appealing.Its really easy to access contacts, pictures, facebook and twitter when you have it on your homescreen!
Can we post as many times as we want??
hi Brajeshwar, had a query.. my dad has lost his mobile and none with him now..can he use my mobile number to enter the contest ?
Widgets on the N97 make your internet experience more personal as they allow you to view realtime information from your favourite sites right on the N97′s homescreen.
Interesting contest

@ Brajesh
Are you going to declare the daily winners?
At what exact time was the 2nd question released? Anyone?
Why is it released before scheduled time (8:00 am)?
Anyone already answered……………?
The question for 16th is new, but the entry box is the same.
It still says 4 more days to go
The touch screen
Sorry guys. The article is controlled by me and the widget above to answer and the question there is from Nokia’s server. So, there was a slight mis-timing for today.
Btw, today’s answer is “Touch”
Well, “Touch” “Touch Screen” “Touchscreen” would still be termed a correct answer.
hey,
so second question is out!
so exciting! this contest is killer. guys even if i dont win, im still going to get the N97! its a brilliant phone. i was checking out some widgets and apps for the N 97 homescreen and there are some really cool ones out there. you cam also buy them off the OVI store.

Hey there Brajeshwar,
Cool site Buddy…
I got a Q for U. Last nite checked on this website till 4:30 am trying to get the Question. This page still said that there were 4 questions to go.
Whats the deal with that – when another user was able to view the question at 3.22.
Y cudnt I see the question while others can??? Am I doing somthing wrong by refreshing the page or opening a new one altogether? Coz thats what I tried? Thanks 4 the info.
Hey there. Just got the ansa to my Q – dont worry abt that – I still think this is a damn cool site though.
Do me a favour will ya – dont put that up there – Thanks a bunch.
How about “TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE“……?
Another easy question for the second day!!.
I have made a post on the contest details and a simple logic that would help you win.
Here is a link to the post:Nokia search for N contest: How to win?
Hope you find it useful!!.

Hi Brajesh,
If someone posted before 8 a.m ,will the entry be recorded?
Like on first day the contest was out by 7:30 or like.
i can foretell that tomorrows question is…….
“A VIRTUAL STORE THAT LETS YOU STORE,SHARE AND ACCESS CONTENT“
HAHAHHAHHA………………
I THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!!
the touchscreen interface
Isn’t 3rd question out yet??
Is the Ovi store going to be available for Indian users
@Manik
Should be fine. The contest is not as pedantic as you think it should.
@Atul gupta
Third Question is out.
Ovi Store is the answer for Day 3
The thirsd question is not coming up!
What’s this?
this is totally unfair – the new Q has come thru but there is no place to give my ansa – whats goin on here?
its now 17 mins after 8 am n Ive been tryin to chk this since 7:45
How to answer the 3rd ques… cant see the cellphone image?
searchforn.com might be down!
Been trying since * a.m sharp..No image could be seen
Did any of you got the sms like yesterday?
@Sheryl @Ambuj
Its from Nokia’s end. The Widget that comes from Nokia where you can answer the question is not loading properly and is happening on all the 5 sites where the contest is hosted.
So nobody has actually answered the que?
I know its not this website..its always been so stable..
I said searchforn.com might be down cuz we din’t even get the text messages..
@Manik
Got the sms only after the 1st answer… nothing after 2nd one…
Iframe of QnA is not loading
Alright finally got the answer in
If I answered withou theimage bieng loaded will it be recorded???
Plz brajeshwar tell me.
@Manik
I’m as clueless as you. Will ask them.
With these many bugs in the contest showing up, it’s pretty certain that the winners will be chosen by lot. With their server down for half an hour there must be a whole lot of em bugs. It’s not a traffic problem for sure..
Today’s Answer Is ovi store. its very easy Answer But, The site is too slow. and not working properly.
I would love to write an extensive review about N97, if I could win this somehow!
Hey guys, I got all the answers to your queries.
Hope that answers most of your issues.

@vidya
No vidya You can’t Give The answer’s of Previous question’s. and also you missed 3 day’s.that’s more important Day’s to win a contest.
Hey Brajeshwar, arent the answers meant to be written in the space provided (the one with the image of the phone itself) rather than writing it here in the comments section?
If u people are going to consider entries valid before 8 am, then why the official starting time was given 8 am ???
people who waited & marked their alerts @ 8 am & tried their best to give answers as soon as possible, are not going to win becoz of mis-guidance..
it’s very nice phone and look stylish.i think its phone is wrold best phone.
tomorrow 5th answer is 32gb
Track here (http://www.mgvz.com/) exactly when the new question loads.

But the widget is still of 4th question
Brajeswar do something yaar. I was awake from 6.30 for this the last 5 days. And in the last moment the widget fails!
32 GB is the answer
How can you answer before? The time isn’t 8am yet
32 gb is the answer but the widget is not showing it
A small correction… its 16 GB (not 15)expandable and that takes it to 48 GB in all. What can I do with 48 GB! I cant think of saving all my songs, videos, pics…..
Todays answer is 32GB
Memory = 32 GB + expandable 16 GB
32GB
old widget
32 gb is the answer for 5th day

the widget is still showing the 4th question ……
@vamshi krishna
I changed my sleeping schedule totally, I am sleeping at 9am for past 4 days, just coz didn’t want to miss the question.
I have done all the question now i am waiting for a phone.
@ Atul Gupta…
I know how it feels bro… I would have done the same and with net connection being slow it makes things worse. Chalo you can sleep now happily as the work is done and wait is on… Good luck
Just to inform you that there is an error in the ‘Clue’ to today’s question. It is a spelling mistake that is commonly made. The sentence is, “The Nokia N97 have a whooping 32GB built-in Storage…”. The wrong word used is WHOOPING. There is no single word ‘whooping’. It goes along with ‘Whooping cough’ which is a ‘contagious bacterial disease in kids’ or ‘Whooping crane’, a bird in Canada. Please substitute it with the correct word, WHOPPING, which means ‘extremely large’. Thank you!
32GB on board memory
hey result — 20th june??
is that correct? awesome! cant wait for it!!
i submitted all the answers on time! but noe i guess a lot of people must have given correct answers and on time! luck finally decides!
hmmmm
cheers guys.
hey tell me how come a site like brajeshwar.com gets to be part of the 5 sites on which the n competition is embedded…

i am waiting??????????????
So today we goona know the winners
Can you please tell
1) what time

3) I assume winners to be chosen by Nokia (T|F)
4) How are winners being chosen (after all timing issue of widget & of other websites|blogs) & what if answers in comments being considered, then of what day & time, coz many people started answering 4th or 5th question in comments even 6hrs before time.
Cheers!!
Congrats
Kabir ANd Arun!
How come all the winners announced by nokia haven’t even commented on the the SEARCH FOR N contest page…??? It’s same on every site…
I have won… No one contacted me yet
THis was not fair…some of them the winner names didnt had even surnames… none of the winner had ever commented in comments section…ok tat was not necessary ..but not a single winner on all 4 sites ever commented !!
Haha! I do not think a winner was required to comment on the blog. What was needed to be done was done smartly enough for him/her to be a winner. There is no point making a loud noise now!
Congratulations to all the winners!
