Anúncio TMN 5 Milhões

Posted: February 18th, 2005 | Author: Vitor | Filed under: Portugal | 5 Comments »

TMN 5 milhões de clientesThe title of this post is the portuguese for “TMN 5 million ad”, where TMN is the major cellphone company here in Portugal. They were kind enough to send me the video of their latest commercial (which celebrates their 5 million customers achievment) in the reply of my email asking them what was the music of that ad. Nice gesture!
You can download the commercial from the official TMN website or with this direct link.
Have a look and listen to the nice background tune. It’s excellent!

Meanwhile I’ve bought a Siemens S35i battery (1600 mAh) so that the phone stays useful.

Something that you should read (tip from BB and a subject seen on the portuguese economics newspaper “Jornal de Negócios”): Interview With Fired Google Blogger that tells you a story about someone who lost their job over his blog.

I still don’t know in wich party I’m gonna vote… But fyi I don’t have any political bound.
