Nokia caught faking TV ad for its Lumia 920

Finnish phone company Nokia admitted that it had been caught red-handed faking a television ad for its new Lumia 920 mobile phone. An article in The Verge called Nokia on the ad after spotting a reflection of a camera filming for the advertisement that was said to be an example of how great the phone's video technology looked. Nokia was touting the phone camera's "PureView" capability, which makes it possible to film a moving object from a moving platform. The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that Nokia chose to show off the phone by having two people on bicycles with a boyfriend on his bicycle filming his girlfriend, who was riding her bicycle. But as the girl passes a trailer parked in the background, the reflection in the window shows for a split second that another camera other than the phone is doing the actual filming. The Verge posted the ad stopping the action at the 27-second mark, when the reflection of a camera hidden in another van can be seen in the window of the trailer.
