how can we tell if our submittions went through?
Cause the page was freezing when I entered and I haven’t gotten an email confirmation?
I’m worried about entering more than once incase I get disqualified!
Please advise?

N97 Winner
It says “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.”
Neil GRiffith
Well Good Luck everyone (although not as good luck as me ) he he.
Can’t wait to see who has won. I have been waiting for this phone for months it seems like.
BTW. you get a message saying Thanks for your entry or something like that.
Neil
Ashley
mmm, theres a lil box above the last clue, which says “thanks 4 ur submission”
email them just to find out if they have recieved it or if u can submit it agen.
Miguel
Yay! Entered, After some page loading issues
Now it\’s just a waiting game I suppose
Chris Stobbs
yeah I got the message on screen not no email confirmation , I’m now worried I typed my email in incorrect
did you guys get email confirmation :-0
and good luck to everyone
First time i tried it just had the image spinning around doing nothing, so i loaded up another web page and tried again and it worked fine. once you press SUBMIT (or SEND) after a few seconds it should display this message:
Your message was sent successfully. Thanks.
thats when you know it was sent.
On behalf of all the Uk members on SF, I would like to thank NokNok and Nokia for bringing us this amazing chance! Great competition. Best of luck to all who entered.

I was thinking by ‘be quick’ you meant like, within an hour or something, but two days!? I hurried home and everything. Oh well, nowt we can do now but cross our fingers. =D
Mikey Bee
Guys, just managed to get back onto the site myself
Sorry, we seem to have a bit of traffic overload!
Good luck everyone – there has been so many entries already that the server is groaning!
Mikey Bee
@Bollo – sorry about that – wanted to give people who can’t rush home a chance to enter
Al
two days to enter?? I could have stayed in bed lol
Chris Stobbs
if they can’t/don’t want to rush home, they want the phone enough he he he
just kidding
scott parris
is there any way you can confirm you recieved my entry, due to server issues i\’m not confident in the message displayed ?
Mark W
Fingers crossed! (and everything else!)…
Mikey Bee
@Scott – Yes, BOTH your entries are in there – obviously in the interest of fairness only the first one counts
Miguel
Funny thing is, I never wanted the Nokia n97 orginally, I was waiting for the Samsung i7500 oled android phone to come out this June/July, but I’ve gotten so caught up in this competition, I really want this Nokia now
Chris Stobbs
mmmm I’ve jsut realised that I left out the / in the last answer
is that going to count an incorrect entry Mikey?
Mikey Bee

I’ve also done a double entry because of the spinning thing, so please don’t disqualify me!
Oh and in the spirit of the competition, I wrote this little ditty; Why I should win an N97.
Please choose me because all I’ve desired,
Has been an Nseries with a QWERTY to slide,
I’ve been dreaming for months of using my digits,
To touch that screen and play with the widgets,
But one big reason, and I’m sure you’ll understand
Is because I lost my 5800 at the weekend
Good luck everyone!
Desislava Zaharieva
Could I ask did you receive my entry because I didn’t saw any confirmation and my phone number was wrong?If you have recieved it and I win could you contact me through my email.
Mikey Bee
@Desislava Zaharieva – yes, you’re in there – good luck!
Lisa Rowsell
Many thanks for running this competition, I’d love to win one of these.
I may have entered twice as the first time I had no confirmation that my entry went through. Answer 5 was also altered so hope I won’t miss out on a chance of winning. T&C’s don’t state though that it’s only one entry, so I take it that where a couple of relevant words rhyme with the riddle people can enter a few times to cover this.
Goodluck everybody!
Lisa
Desislava Zaharieva
Thank you very much!I can hardly wait for Friday now.
Would I increase my chance of winning if I promise to flash my cool N97 to all my 3,500 well-remunerated iPod carrying techy/media colleagues in my building?
Damn, meant to say *iPhone*-shod techy/media colleagues in my building! Fluffed it.
josh
Thank you so so so much for this opportunity.
If i were to win it would be the best thing that has happened to me in years,
no exxaggeration!
thanks again NOKNOK.
i cant wait for friday!
josh
dan
oh no i was using a dodgy wifi connection when i entered and i dunno whether it got sent.

daniel gapes
thanks
Mikey Bee
@Dan – good to go!
Ben
Can the N97 connect to the world wide web or just mobile internet??
Thanks
Ben
Lee Smith
Looking forward to the draw with bearly contained enthusiasm. Good luck everyone, may you soon be holding a shiny new spangly N97.
Chris Stobbs
you’ll all be happy to know that I walked straight past one the GPS location N’s I couldn’t find it in the park, 10 minutes after I left the park Ben one of the bloggers found it
Funniest thing about it is that I saw him there and he only found it 30minutes after I walk past him he he he
Tim Cooper
Don’t think i put my phone number in the first entry, so i had to try again. Did they get there?
Thanks.
Tim.
Great idea! That’s 3 competitions we can enter!!!
- noknok.tv
- The official Nokia competition (which is VERY difficult)
- Phones4U are running one as well.
…almost enough to go ’round (not really – just joking!).
Best regards,
Dez.
(aka n97boy)
Neil
Fantastic competition, very well laid out, loved the riddles. Good work to all involved, I would love to win the N97 but good luck to everyone else who entered.
Great competition (hope my entry went through) – btw keep the N-Gage Reviews coming in
as thats what i mainly want to get out of an N97 (N-Gage Gaming!)
Ashley Hunter-Love
Arr i want it! N95 8gb Okie for using facebook on the go but this? I would never end up doing revision, just playing with apps and on facebook instead!

Just wanted to say a Big Thank You to Nok Nok for running the competition, it kept me gripped. Like others I eagerly awaited the final clue, but due to server traffic it took me a few attempts to load the page. Unfortunately I got caught by the boss in the process, needless to say that did not bode well for me. Great phone though, well worth the written warning!!
Good Luck to all

Great competition.I enjoyed this as much as the other search for N treasure hunt comp.
Hope i dont get as disapointed though.
I was gutted to get the last clue 1 minute after it came out and then realise that of all the coordinates you could get to find the phone none were in Scotland.
Come on Nokia surly you realise that Ireland and Scotland are in the UK as well.
If you dont might i suggest Nokia looks at OVI maps .We are just above Engerland
kevin cassell
well i’m trying this now, having failed to reach the N in oxford by a matter of mere minutes (down to useless TomTom not knowing there is horrendous traffic on the M25 at 1500 and having to turn around! grrr! anyways, my legs are covered in nettle stings and cuts from thorn bushes, i must of ate a few hundered nats, flies whilst running frantically through the woods too. Proper gutted. So i’m crossing my fingers now for a second chance to win something for the first time in my sad life! haha! mind you, i did win a stuffed panda toy when i was 6 at school-my odds are with me!
p.s. thanks for giving us lot the chance to win one. (if i was you guys i’d have it for myself and let everyone wait a month or two-but you’re clearly too kind!).
@ Mikey- In the “Phone” bit, were we supposed to put our phone number or what phone we currently have?
If we were to put our Number, I’ve put what phone model I currently have :/
kevin cassell
just out of curiosity. the last clue you gave, its separated by a slash ‘/’, if we put the answer in with a space instead, does that mean its wrong or did you put the slash in to show its a two word answer??
thanks , kevin.
Lee Smith
@Kevin Cassell
has been mentioned further up the list that missing out the / won’t be an issue, your entry will still be accepted. So fear not, you could soon be the proud owner of one of the most advanced marvels of modern tech currently available.

@ChrisBurns75
Tell me about it. I got 4 of the clues, but on the nokia website there was a rough map of where they were and i noticed they were all in England, well okay with one in Wales as well. Wasn’t too pleased, but hey, what can you do?
Least i didn’t have to get off my chair for this competition. =D
Lloyd Ferdinand
Ok so I just realised that the question for day 4 I Have answered with the full word rather than the abbreviation will this still count or have i messed up?
Have just done it again but its 13:17 and it closed at noon
J.P
I would absolutely love it if i won. I\\\’ve never won anything before, not even £10 on the damn lottery! Would be the happiest guy alive. Any chance on getting the number of people involved in the competition so we can see what we are up against?
ali
i fink this is fake
liz denial
great comp, would love to win
Lee Smith
Much nail biting and gnashing of teeth today. Only a few hours to go until the competitin winners are announced.
I shall probably be sat at the pc hitting refresh around noon, sad but true.
Good luck everyone!
