Oscar Nominees to receive Motorola Camera Phone

983.jpg The twenty five actors and directors nominated for an Oscar at this year's Academy Awards ceremony, have been offered a Motorola V600 camera phone.

Each handset was packed in a personalized camera-shapped box, with a pre selected ringtone - what else? - "You Oughta Be in Pictures".

The camera phones are equipped with a SIM card so that nominees can take pictures on award night and send them off immediately. [VNUnet (in French), Newsire.
