Since this was so useful, I figured it would be a good-will gesture of relationship marketing (as well as a good branding opportunity) for Nokia if we made this into a screensaver. That way the customer wouldn’t have to dial into the comparably slow Internet to find out the information - if they even remembered to.

The system has an auto-mode which will randomly answer the questions and present the data in a sophisticated and pleasing screen environment but the user can, at any time, interrupt it by simply using the mouse to choose a different option from one of the dynamic menus.

Since Nokia’s personality has been readjusted to more be fun and vibrant and less business-like, we have redesigned it for a 1999 version to reflect this change.

The screensaver won a Certificate of Merit in the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents [the 4As] 1998 “Creative Circle Awards”. The judges included producers from Yahoo! and C|NET.
