Bruce Lee’s Nokia N96 Special EditionBy Staff

So if you guys don’t know, Nokia is the cell-phone GIANT. Earlier this year, Nokia released a bad-ass phone called the N96. This was Nokia’s flag-ship phone and is supposed to be the king of all multi-purpose business phones! As a result of this greatness, they thought, “why not brand this phone with none other than the king of marshal arts?” The result? A bad ass phone with the signature and picture of none other than the master, Bruce Lee on the back of the phone and a few other cool goodies!
You thought that was enough? No, Nokia decided to come up with a couple of ads for the phone. Here are some promotional ads running in Hong Kong! Here is another one, apprently, if Bruce was here today, he would be able to show you this himself:
