Win 1 of 3 Nokia N97 phones
Okay folks, it’s here… this is your chance to be one of the first 97 people worldwide to own a Nokia N97! That’s right, before it officially launches.
What is it and how does it work?
Search for N is a global competition that is running concurrently in China, UAE (Dubai), Russia, France, Benelux, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and South Africa. Over a period of seven days (26 May – 2 Jun), 5 cryptic clues will be published on this blog (as well as other websites / blogs that have partnered with Nokia globally), on selected days at 1pm SA time. Once you solve all 5 riddles, email your answers to me immediately, as the first three correct entries received will each win a Nokia N97 handset. The local version of this competition is being run on four blogs, www.nafisa.co.za being one of them.
It starts right now, so here’s your first clue:
Haptic and tactile are types of these
Remember to keep your answers and send them all together (along with a scanned copy of your ID) via email to me on this address as soon as you solve the last riddle. Do not answer via comments.
Basic rules
- This competition is open to all South African citizens with a valid ID
- Participants have to be 18 years or older
- Winners will be announced once their identities has been verified (include a scanned copy of your ID with your answers). If you want to fax them through, email me and I will provide you with a number.
- If winners do not respond to formal notification within 1 week, Nokia will select a random replacement winner
- Prizes are neither transferable nor exchangeable for cash
- Winner agrees to allow their photograph to be taken and published in print media or to appear on radio, the internet & television when accepting his/her prize
Full T&C’s available here.
So, why am I running this competition?
Quite simply because I rock and Nokia agrees

Apparently this site is supposed to validate your answers and I think it’s wrong could you just confirm this site is working.
I’ve tried my answer which I think is correct but it says it’s wrong…
http://blogs.nokia.com/nseries/index.php/search-for-n/
could you check for me?
I’m not sure how that site is supposed to work but I won’t be using it to validate answers because I already have them. Sorry about that.
I know you have the answers I was just wondering you could type in your first answer and check what the site response is?
The site is supposed the be the official Search for N site with links to all the bloggers around the world that are involved. it’s not something that is going to steal your answers I promise…
Okay, I’ve checked, put in the correct answer but it’s marking it incorrect. Hmmm.
thank you for that…
Now at last I can stop doubting myself
[...] was lucky enough to win a voucher (yes you have to be quick with these things), a Nokia n97 will be awesome with those vouchers, what do you [...]
can i check my answer somewhere???
is the answer touchscreen?
@mo – I wasn’t given anything from Nokia South Africa to do so.
@joe – Is there any competition that confirms or denies an answer before it officially ends?
can we send a copy of our ids after you confirm if we’re winners or not?
Not really keen just sending it if im not gna win
@Denis – unfortunately not. Because it’s a global competition, we need to make sure South Africans win in SA.
