Nokia $NOK CEO Stephen Elop created some free buzz for Nokia’s upcoming Lumia 928 phone with a histrionic display of iPhone disdain when he tossed an interviewer’s offending device on the ground during an interview on Finnish TV .

The incident occurred when the interviewer persistently asked Nokia’s CEO to reveal details about Nokia’s upcoming Lumia 928 device. In what most commentators have deemed to be a staged exchange, Elop tries to repeatedly promote the Lumia 620, a lower-priced Windows Phone device that debuted earlier this year. As reported by CNET, after the interviewer pulls his iPhone out, Elop says “ Oh, how embarrassing . ”

Then the interviewer admits that he doesn’t want the iPhone, but would instead like to try the Nokia 928 . At that point the Nokia CEO grabs the iPhone and throws it on the floor, saying “ I’ll take care of that. ”

The Nokia 928 is purported to have an all-metal body that is similar to Apple’s iPhone and will supposedly debut with Verizon sometime next month. The move to an all-metal casing would be a change for Nokia , which has mainly established in the mid-range price handset market.
