Santa Claus shows up in France; brings giant Nokia Lumia 800 and joy to the world [More Photos]

Giant WP7 in Paris

Yep Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and this year he'south bringing y'all a Giant frickin' Windows Telephone. On the Champs Elysees in Paris, France, there has arrived a 30 foot alpine Nokia Lumia 800 (which nosotros told y'all about earlier). We've gotten a few more photos from the event unfolding just off of the main street, and it turns out that the telephone does indeed bring peace and joy to the masses; Santa Claus himself is the star of the prove for each person that comes up to meet the magnificent display. Children are accompanied by parents equally they all file through and telephone call, text or video chat with Santa Claus himself correct up on the large screen. WP7 has scored a double-win in their market place this calendar month: parents get a chance to make thier kids excrutiatingly happy with each mega-sized phone call, and they besides get to check out the latest new smartphone offerings from Nokia.

The innards of the giant telephone remind us a flake of the 55 foot tall Windows Phone that was put on display in New York Urban center. While passers-by but meet a giant working screen (considering yes, this is a real, alive, working Mango telephone out there), behind the scenes is a myriad of technicians, computers, engineers and ane jolly St. Nick working to make every transition, phone call, text message and video phone call as enjoyable (and fluid) every bit possible. Abroad from the behemothic phone is a display-walkway of other more easily-grasped phones for people to try out, and nosotros can't forget Santa'southward Helpers milling nigh and answering people's questions as they stop to expect.

At present if merely Santa would grant my wish and bring a Nokia Lumia 800 to my house this year. It doesn't even accept to be a big one, I'll take anything! Striking the break to come across a few more photos from the structure's first night alive in the city, and let it sink in that Santa really can make dreams come up true.
