[Viral / Trailhead?] blackboxmystery.com Nokia 500 Auto Navigation promo blackboxmystery.com
Although previously thought to be connected with the other Nokia site openatownrisk.com , it would seem that this is a separate game all on its own.
By watching the videos carefully, users must find each continuing set of coordinates to continue all the way through the mini movie.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1: 42 87, 12 86
2. 10 65, 56 23
3. 46 83, 06 58
After the movie ends:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Christopher is now trapped where the Voice was before. The Voice's question, "Who will come and get you Christopher? Who knows you are here?" at first seems to indicate that this is the end and Christopher is gone for good. However, the other answer is, WE know he's there and now have to figure out where there is.
There is also an email address prominently displayed in grafitti: delilahSPLAT megcsal.co.hu. Visiting the site that the address is connected to brings up a blog that is definitely in-game: megcsal.co.hu .
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It seems that the blogger is Delilah, Christopher's girlfriend, that was helping the Voice / trapping Christopher. An entry states that Christopher's phone number is 10 655623 (though I tried calling it with the Hungarian prefix and it doesn't work). It also gives his account number with the phone company 46830658, perhaps an indication that we should try and figure out which company?
Also, there will be a drawing for winning one of 10 Nokia 500 Navigation Consoles. The end date is July 31st, 2008.

An interesting thought, i just thought that was it when i saw the end of the video clips, but that is strange that there is that blog. and i didn't even notice the e-mail address.
The only thing that puts me off is the fact that all the blog entries are dated Feb 1st-March 1st.
and uh which company? *cough* nokia=AT&T *cough*

I've just had an idea if we know both the guys telephone number and account number then we can/are ment to phone Nokia and enquire about the account..It just seems odd to give us an account number if we're not ment to use is and that seems the only place you could use it. I would but I don't know the US Nokia information number and if I did it would cost me a small fortune

if you rewatch the end after completing it asks if you would like to exit (didn't show up for me when i finished the first time). pressing exit takes you to the Megcsal blog site.
what language are the early posts in? there is a translation link on the site, but i'm not sure what i'm translating from.

Nokia isn't actually a phone service provider, they only make the electronics.

lol true, i said Nokia first, what i meant before is more whom they are linked to (most companies are linked to a main provider)
lemme check--ok AT&T for the U.S at least.
just wanted to note...if its a Hungarian number would we need a Hungarian provider?

Could this movie be called the Kite Runner?
I get the final location to be on the other side of the Danube, but still in the town of Vác, Hungary.
What are we supposed to do now? Go there? Lure someone else there?
Incidentally, the location co-ordinates being the same as his phone number and phone account number doesn't really make sense.
Incidentally the translation link on the megcsal website, which presumably we are supposed to use, returns a 'forbidden' error when I click it. The same thing happens when I access it via Hungarian English translator on Google, where it is the top hit.
megcsal means 'to beguile, delude, abuse, finagle'. Sounds cheery.
Using a different web translation site (www.webforditas.hu) gives for the last three messages:

Is for me sets up this plot so is top notch communicates anonymously. Telephone would be able to be a faithful and electronic letter caught. There is an Internet phone already for us so entry is top notch this anywhere.

Bah, the official contest rules state that it started in March and will end at the end of the month. Whether we're behind or not, we should still be able to get the whole experience. Negative points for Nokia.
