In a spurt of creative Windows Phone promotion and generosity - Telstra today have announced a brand new White Nokia Lumia Contest! With 10 shiny, gorgeous alabaster handsets to be given away across 5 Capital Cities in the month of May. The “Nokia Lumia Quest” is set to have Telstra customers heading into the selected cities on the competition dates in droves, following social media clues to try to win one of these award-winning WP7 handsets by Nokia! WPDownUnder will be sure to be there – to cover the event of course

The brain-child of Telstra Social Media guru and WP7 supporter, Dan Michael, does not only feature this amazing Windows Phone handset – but also a whopping $1000 of credit! Dan writes;

“You’ll be sporting a brand new white coloured Nokia Lumia 800 courtesy of our partners and friends at Nokia Australia and a Telstra $50 Pre-Paid Cap Encorerecharge with $1000.00 credit and 2GB of data to get your surfing.

There are two glowing white gems hidden in a secret location in each of Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.  They’re just waiting for you to find them.”

This is a great initiative, and should really help compliment the existing push Telstra have on the super-sexy Gloss White Lumia 800. As we have reported previously, the handset now has the equivalent of US “hero-status” with major solo display areas in most Telstra stores, with Point-of-sale materials.

Well Done to Telstra on this awesome new competition.

Sheeds.
