Opera Mini - Opera Powered Wrist Straps!

Opera Powered Wrist Straps!

By Espen André Øverdahl. Tuesday, 20. February 2007, 16:12:21

Opera Mini recently celebrated its first birthday! As part of the celebrations we gave away 1000 "Opera Powered" wrist straps

Today the hard work started for the Opera team. Global PR Manager Thomas Ford (busy licking glue off envelopes to the left), and PR Specialist Stacey Cameron from Opera MarCom got down on their knees (), and with determination they managed to get all wrist straps shipped off to their respective owners in only 2 hours!

We were present and captured the moment for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

You know they make spongy envelope wetter-things, right? Don't want to end up like George's fiance Susan in Seinfeld!

(Btw, thanks for the strap!)

The flavor of glue on the envelopes left something to be desired, but I managed somehow.

I really enjoyed seeing people send in their greetings from all over the world; I hope they enjoy seeing us send our wrist straps all over the world.

Those straps are cool, I use mine with my MP3 player.
I got myself one of them in the Halloween game last year.
It came with some other goodies and a hand-written letter from Espen, you should've made Thomas and Stacey write and sign all 1000 letters too.
