If you want to create a viral video these days, you need to do something great and unique. A couple of days ago, Sony Australia smashed a PS3 slim into a Bravia LCD TV at high speed. Now, Vodafone NZ hired a production team to orchestrate cellphones into “playing” Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture.
The effort took 1000 phones and 53 different ringtone alerts, synchronized to recreate the famous classical piece. The resulting video is nothing short of amazing; you can also see the “making of” videos below.
If you like the resulting tune, you can download it to your computer, as well as the 53 ...

Viral videos are, well, everywhere these days. You hire a media company, they come up with a clever idea, upload it, and hope that it gets tagged on YouTube. Which is exactly what Vodaphone NZ did.
Of course, Vodaphone isn’t here in the US, but internet video in universal, and this is pretty damn cool. So sit back, turn up the speakers, click play, and see what happens when some very clever people get 1000 cellphones together in one place and decide to make a viral video.
Here’s the making of video too, it’s definitely worth a viewing: ...

Via: EngadgetMobile y en el sitio oficial podés descargar los 57 diferentes ringtones para tu equipo si querés :) ...

It’s friday, which means most of us have busted our backsides for 4 days straight, trying to make a living. As such, it’s entirely appropriate that we take a few minutes out of our day to sit back, relax, and have some fun. Today’s friday fun video is brought to you by our friends at Vodafone and found by the gang at Engadget.
The Vodafone Symphonia uses 1000 cellphones, all chiming in with their own ringtone or SMS notification, to compose Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. It’s definitely freakin cool -- I’ve had to watch it a few times over just to keep enjoying it. ...
