Nokia is up to something. Take a look at OpenAtOwnRisk (dot)com (flash required). It’s a willfully obscure viral site that you have to open by aligning some symbols in a combination lock (don’t worry, it’s not hard). Link on picture.
Once you get through the ’security’ you will see some nicely done clockwork imagery, hear creepy music and read some rambling tosh about a bunch of royal types creating a clip of ‘grande weirdness’ (hundreds of years ago, before the invention of, er, movie clips) that they have placed in a box with four seals.
Clues to help you unlock the box have been hidden in important historical artifacts like Edison’s Lightbulb, Apollo Eleven and, er, the Nokia Download Store.
All will be revealed next Monday and you can sign up for an email alert to notify you as soon as the seals are cracked open.
What could it be? The Nokia Tube, perhaps? Doesn’t seem ‘grande weird’ enough, though - unless we have been WAY wrong about what the Tube will involve.
Blog entry from a person who claim to have broken the seals to the box.
After a bit of mucking about with the content in “The Box” on Download! on my Nokia N95 and interacting with the proper version of openatownrisk(.)com, I was able to break all four seals on the game. Surprisingly, it didn’t take me long to do. The weird clip is truly weird, but it will take more than this clip to drive me insane

Theoretically, it says I won a limited edition T-shirt. Wonder if my status as a Nokia employee makes me ineligible. Certainly the shirt won’t fit me, thanks to my horizontal challenges, but maybe someone else will want it?
