The jury has reached the verdict. And the Nokia Beta Labs Contributor of the Month, November 2007, is .... *drumroll* .... Graham Oldfield!!!
Hooray!!! Hooray!!! Hooray!!!
Justification: responding to my grand challenge and turning Nokia N95 into a blazing Light Sabre, with respectable beta spirit: making quick improvements in a direct dialogue with the users.
Prize: the one-and-only Darth Vader helmet, with easy-on velcro straps. Graham: please send me (tommi dot vilkamo at nokia dot com) the address where to ship the helmet!!
To get a jedi-impression yourself, install the following files in the specified order: note: works only with N95 and some other new models with built-in accelerometer.
1. n95accelerometerplugin.sis
2. lightsabre_s60_3_x_v_1_3.sisx
If you don't have a compatible device, you can get comfort (about not making a dork out of yourself, like the rest of us) watching this video of Ricky Cadden from Symbian Guru running amok with the earlier version.

Congrats to Graham! And thanks, Tommi, for the video love. I think that a requirement should be a video of Graham using his app WITH the helmet on.
Great job Graham. Oh, and good job Ricky, too. The video was hilarious.
Very funny !! Lol
We want a video with the helmet !!!
Congrats to Graham! Excellent idea and implementation of a classic.
Here is a new challenge: Air guitar for N95! Someone just GOT to make a software to play air guitar with the N95! I need it now!!! One chord on each key, different sounds effects by different movements, etc.
Unfortunately I don't program myself, else I would have made it. Hope someone will pick up the glove...
I agree, Vote for Samir ;-)
