We recently revealed details of Terry Deary's The Perfect Poison Pills Plot, a keitai-style micro novel composed entirely on a QWERTY Nokia E6 and read out by rap star Chipmunk. Now there's a video of the bite-sized thriller to go with it. 

The keitai genre of micro novel originated in Japan, and involves “micro novels” of stories designed to be read exclusively on mobile phones. Chapters are short and easily digested, and are designed to be delivered via text message.

It almost makes sense, then, that the novel also be written on a mobile phone, and that's exactly what UK children's book favourite Terry Deary has done in writing The Perfect Poison Pills Plot, which was composed entirely on the Nokia E6's QWERTY keyboard.

The Nokia E6 brings the versatility and convenience of a touchscreen as on most smartphones these days, but was the first ever device to hit the market with both a touchscreen and a traditional QWERTY keyboard, and forms part of a wide range of Nokia QWERTY-based devices, including the likes of the Nokia C3, which boasts a similar form factor with the QWERTY keyboard below the screen for convenient access.

But aside from the micro-novel version of The Perfect Poison Pills Plot, Deary has also come together with well-known rapper Chipmunk to bring his micro-novel to a wider audience via a series of videos on the Nokia UK YouTube account, where Chipmunk reads out The Perfect Poison Pills Plot, with Mr Deary himself making a few cameo appearances in the background – together with his Nokia E6.

UPDATE: we originally suggested that The Perfect Poison Pills Plot was composed on the Nokia E7, itself a hugely powerful and versatile business device with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, when in fact this high-action micro-novel was in fact written on the Nokia E6. Please accept our apologies - we've adjusted the post accordingly!
