Nokia Lumia 900 shakes its booty in Flo Rida's newest video
Flo Rida is no stranger to Nokia Windows Phones. Back in February in the video for 'Wild Ones' the popular artist was seen using the Lumia 710 and Twitter. Though it was just in passing, it was a nice nod for Nokia's newest phone.
In Mr. Rida's new video (can we call him that?) for 'Whistle' the shiny and sexy glossy-white Lumia 900 is the star. While the 900 actually doesn't shake its booty (creative license, sorry), it does get some screen time.
Starting at about 1:47 and a few seconds later you can see the popular Windows Phone being used for some photos and sending an MMS. Not a bad plug for the phone, we suppose.
Check out the video after the break... Warning: NSFW [lots of badonkadonks]. Thanks, Daniel, for the tip!
Edit: There looks to be a copyright issue where playing it on mobile phones, ironcially, is not supported. You can try through your web browser instead.

JonnieLasVegas says:
Must be, cuz it doesn't work on my 900 either :(
cool8man says:
That's really strange. Just to prove I'm not lying.

It works fine on my Lumia. Are you trying to view in the WPCentral app or in IE web browser?
unstoppablekem says:
Video was not found. -_-
cool8man says:
If you can't get my youtube video to play then there's definitely something wrong with your phone. I am not blocking anyone, that's for sure. Have you installed the YouTube plug-in from marketplace? http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/dcbb1ac6-a89a-df11-a490-00237de2db9e
unstoppablekem says:
I have a white ATT Lumia 900.
paulomalley says:
Video is region locked.. Tried to view it on my Ultrabook and got a message saying something about copyright restrictions.
cool8man says:
There's a phone in this video you say?
I'll have to review multiple times to see.

Currently unavailable.
JonnieLasVegas says:
Thanks! Actually a good song too.
Jeff Kibuule says:
-_-
unstoppablekem says:
Daniel, fix the issue of it not working on the phone. Please. Thxs.
Daniel Rubino says:
Nothing I can do on my end, it's probably a copyright issue with Warner and not allowing it mobile.
unstoppablekem says:
Ok. Too bad. Thxs Daniel though.
cool8man says:

JudaZuk says:
Since the screwed up music industry has made sure this video is blocked on Youtube for some regions (because you earn more money if no one can hear or see your artists and music) I have included an alternative link for it here:

kidjenius says:
yea it's restricted in canada. thanks for the link
Shane says:
Thanks for the link, yet another good marketing play by Nokia. Mindshare.
Heatlesssun says:
Yeah, doesn't work as HTML 5 video, works only in Flash. The phone is prominently displayed though, catchy tune. I guess copyright has something to do with why it's not HTML 5 video.
bjax says:
That's interesting...you would think someone from marketing at Nokia/Microsoft would reach out to him for a commercial spot to air nationally.
WinFan1 says:
This is a sick song downloaded on Zune music pass :D loving the lumia love
Ambrose99 says:
Thats really not a bad song. Of course, the subject matter could be a litte less... obvious.
ryaoni says:
Plays on my Lumia 710 no problem.
DrSaiko says:
It plays on my Dell venue pro.
benopolis says:
I could watch it on my cyan 900 but it made me want a white one even more now. Anyone wanna trade
kidjenius says:
ill trade you my samsung focus and $300 for that cyan. there's no cyan love here in canada
El_fantasma474 says:
I hate when music videos are blocked from mobile devices, What's the reason for this? No one wants to or should have to sit at a computer just to watch the latest music videos
Luminatic says:
Blocked in Switzerland as well. Typical. :-(
Thanks to the person who put up the hothiphop link. :-) I like the song.
Jrexxx says:
Flo Rida allready has a video with a lumia in it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOR_HuHRNs
Can you find it?
phatboy66 says:
I wonder if Flo Rida really uses a Lumia 900 as his daily driver
JonnieLasVegas says:
Yep, he posts on Twitter from his Windows Phone when not from his site. He's a #WinPhan too!
Tony F. Baby says:
Works plays perfectly fine with me. HTC HD7 (T-Mobile)
lightspeed42 says:
It works on the IE in wp7 but you have to go to the wpcentral page and set your preference as 'mobile browser' in ie's settings. If you set it to 'desktop' and reload the page, the video will not be available. So i dont think its a copyright issue. Weird.
frodiggs says:
Flo has good hooks but the style is Nellies mostly. Not sure who came first tho. Honies galore here!
Seen some cool Lumia ads recently
j i AmnesiAc says:
Is it me or does the phone tile in the first shot say 'emergency only'...
I guess AT&T forgot to give him a SIM card :-P
Edit: or no signal on location
MediaCastleX says:
There's also the VEVO app if it's available there...lots of music videos to see there! =P
drjekel_mrhyde says:
They have lumia 900 parts in stores now
