Nokia 5800 Tube phone stars in Britney Spears Womanizer video

Howzaboutthis for product promotion? Nokia’s new touchscreen music handset, the 5800 `Tube’, apparently makes a prominent cameo appearance in the video for Britney’s Womanizer single.

Not only does a character use the phone to video Britney sitting on a photocopier (?!), but there’s also a scene where someone pulls up the device’s calendar. But here’s the thing that tickled us: the appointment on-screen is for a “product placement meeting”. Cheeky, but admirable.

Meanwhile, the newly-sane Spears is coining it in from digital downloads, according to the latest Nielsen SoundScan figures in the US. Womanizer sold 285,800 downloads in its first week on sale – the best first week for a female artist since Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body earlier this year.
