It's not technology,

It's not technology, it's what you do with it.Watch

People all over the world are doing amazing things with Nokias. From creating a hamster-powered phone charger that keeps their Nokia topped up, to turning their device into something that can help diagnose fatal diseases in remote areas. Incredible.

Here are just some of the projects out there that we've discovered. And below, a little more information about what they are and the brilliant people behind them.

Nokia N8 Producers

Nokia N8 ProducersWatch

Nokia N8 Producers are those who have a desire to produce truly incredible video with the Nokia N8. We're looking for the ultimate N8 Producers - the best eight will win an amazing Zero Gravity flight!

As an inspiration, we took a few Nokia N8s around the world to shoot this video with Capoeira artists, an ice skater, a silk aerialist, skateboarders and a rock climber.

Poodle Loop

Poodle LoopWatch

With Loop app, you can make music with anything, anywhere, anytime you like. To prove the point, we asked Warrior One to create a track as far away from the music studio as possible… all the way to a poodle parlour in Shanghai. Recorded on location in Loop, on a Nokia N8, the film follows the transformation of three scruffy young poodles into bouncing, brightly coloured masterpieces. Loop is available on the Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 exclusive to Nokia Ovi Store.

Dragonfly Love

Dragonfly LoveWatch

Director Thomas Hilland was asked to test drive the Nokia N8, and make a film that made the most of the smartphone’s impressive HD camera. The film features music by Kap Bambino, remote-controlled dragonflies, a stunning Norwegian landscape, and some men in colourful costume. See how they did it in the 'making of' film below.

Making of Dragonfly Love

Making of 'Making of Dragonfly LoveWatch

‘Dragonfly Love’ was shot entirely on the Nokia N8. Director Thomas Hilland and his crew were tasked to make a film that made the most of the N8’s HD camera, and the freedom of shooting on a small mobile device. Editing and special effects were added off the device, but it should be noted, the remote-controlled dragonflies are all real. See them in flight, and how they shot it in this video.

Paint Wall

Paint WallWatch

Greyworld, a London-based art collective, worked in partnership with Nokia to create the Paint Wall. But instead of paint, it uses pixels. It's a huge six metre long, two and a half metre high interactive artwork that lets you splash digital content onto a wall of LED lights. Fill a bucket with a photo of yourself and throw it onto the wall. Better still, use a Nokia N8 and the Paint Wall app to blow paint onto the wall. It's all down to infrared cameras, accelerometers and a great deal of clever coding. Seriously fun technology.

CellScope

CellScopeWatch

At the University of California, Berkley, Professor Daniel Fletcher and his team had an idea that now helps to save lives.

They took a microscope, a Nokia N95, and put them together. They call it the CellScope. A super-portable microscope imaging device, perfect for diagnosing diseases in remote areas in developing world countries. Images of cell samples can be captured then sent by MMS anywhere in the world for instant analysis. Brilliant.

'Dot' CellScope film

'Dot' CellScope filmWatch

Professor Fletcher's invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world.

All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics.

'Dot'. The making of.

Here's a little film that takes you behind the scenes at Aardman. It reveals what went in to making the world's smallest character animated film and how it was shot using a Nokia N8.

LMFAO music video

LMFAO music videoWatch

Here's Ji-Dong Yim's Nokia robot phones performing in a music promo for LA-based band LMFAO.

Watch them shake. Watch them move.

Robot Phones

Robot PhonesWatch

Cally and Callo are the brainchild of Ji-Dong Yim. 'JD' for short. He likes robots, coding and anything to do with technology. So he decided to build two robots and used Nokia N82s to function as their brains.

With a lot of tricky coding Cally and Callo can dance and perform different commands when phone calls or texts are received. They can even track and mimic your movements if you wave your arms in front of them. Clever little robots.

Light Hack

Light HackWatch

Lady Bna-nas, Madcheeze and Introcept are street artists from Australia. But for the 2009 Push N900 competition, they were known as the Light Hack Crew.

They love graffiti but they also share a passion for technology. So they created an electronic spray can and hooked it up to a Nokia N900. The spray can creates an LED light source and the hacked N900 captures the beautiful time-lapse images. See for yourself.

Tilt 'n' Roll

Tilt 'n' RollWatch

Keywan Tonekaboni, Nick Thomas, Jan Anlouff, Sebastian Zehe, Erik Weitnauer and Alexander Lenhard. Together they're the Solderin' Skaters.

For the 2009 Push N900 competition they took skateboarding games away from the console and back onto the streets. With pressure pads, motion sensors, some intricate coding and a Nokia N900 in the skater's pocket, their real-world skate game can recognise tricks and award points if they're successfully completed. Ingenious.

This project is now in prototype stage and works with the Nokia N8.

Hamster phone charger

Hamster phone chargerWatch

Meet Peter Ash. Back in 2005 his sister had a hamster called Elvis. He was quite an energetic little chap. In fact, Peter's sister used to complain that Elvis kept her awake at night because he wouldn't stop playing in his wheel. That got Peter thinking about ways to put Elvis' energy to good use.

So, with a few gears and a turbine, he built a hamster-powered phone charger. And the more Elvis happily played on his wheel, the more talk time Peter got on his Nokia. Good work Elvis.

Blinged technology

Blinged technologyMore

Bling. A slang term popularised in hip-hop culture, referring to flashy, sparkly jewellery. It didn't take long for people to work out a way to make other things 'bling' too. Mobile phones being a favourite. Everything from creating a design and meticulously gluing on tiny rhinestones, to sticking on all your unwanted jewellery - more and more blinged Nokias are popping up all over the world.

Snake Building

Snake BuildingMore

At the Wroclaw University of Technology, some of the students created P.I.W.O. In Polish it roughly translates as 'big indexed window-based display'.

Basically, they transformed an entire student block into a gigantic light wall. It took 2000 meters of electric cable, 240 light bulbs, and 6 weeks to complete. Then they thought it might be fun if you could play the Nokia Snake Game on a building, using your phone as the controller. If you fancy having your own giant Snake Game party, they've got it all worked out.

Soda Phone

Soda PhoneMore

Daizy Zheng comes from Ningbo in China, but she studied design in London. For her final graduation project she decided to try and design a mobile phone that can be powered by Coca Cola. So she started researching, did the maths, and worked out that, in theory, her Coke phone's standby time would last about a week. Pretty good going for a couple of glugs of fizzy pop. And on phone calls, you could even pause for a drink.

KAPing

KAPingWatch

Ricardo Mendonca Ferreira loves KAPing. It stands for Kite Aerial Photography, and the 2009 Push N900 competition gave him the chance to take it to the next level. He suspended a Nokia N900, with its 5 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss lens, in a motorised rig below a huge Japanese Rokkaku kite.

Another N900 on the ground shows what's being photographed, and by tilting the device the accelerometers let you adjust the direction of the flying camera. Smart coding, stunning results.

This project is now in prototype stage and works with the Nokia N8.
