Palm Pre on Heroes?

wjclint · 03/23/2009, 09:44 PM

This is my third post - so going out on a limb, but I swear there was a Sprint Palm Pre in the most recent Heroes Episode: Season 3 - Episode: Cold Snap

It is used by "Rebel" in the train station to cause a diversion by wirelessly hacking into the train station's alarm system so he and Tracy can escape. They only show the top half of the device, but I don't know of any other sprint phones that look like that.

Looked like it to me too.

jagowar · 03/23/2009, 09:54 PM

i thought it might be too but it was onscreen for a split second and i didnt care to rewind it just to try and see if it actually was.

graylion · 03/23/2009, 10:01 PM

I was instantly excited, however I think the screen was too small and more square?

Anyone else?

I thought it looked like the 8330 Curve. It was deffo winmo os.

Homie · 03/24/2009, 12:24 AM

Lol. It was not a Curve - I have one and it looks nothing like that. And all that was on the screen was a station diagram. There was nothing from any OS.

The case looked just like a Pre but I thought the screen was two square as well. It had a huge Sprint logo and was probably designed to look like a Pre.

Could it have been the instinct, the instinct was all over the episode of 24 which was on the same time as Heroes, so I didnt catch Heroes

It was the Treo Pro. Here's a snap pic I took. You can see the "Treo" sign if you look closely:

i noticed the phone that "rebel" had, but like others said, it didn't look like the Pre to me. I may have to rewatch that part... its saved on my DVR.

bigredgpk · 03/24/2009, 07:29 AM

It's a Treo Pro

I've attached a screen shot. You can see the windows flag on the left side.

Mystery solved. =)

wjclint · 03/24/2009, 07:47 AM

Looks like it was the Treo Pro. You can see the ringer switch on the top sticking up too. Got excited for nothing.

HChristianS · 03/24/2009, 07:48 AM

other than that, Heroes last night was freaking amazing.

miles4000 · 03/24/2009, 09:59 AM

Let's hope that they just use that small Sprint name in that top area that's part of the screen on the Pre and the logo on the back mirror.

Syphon · 03/24/2009, 10:06 AM

Just imagine. Claire is hiding or running away from someone. She is around the corner of a building. She gets a message & pulls out a Pre. It's from the rebel* telling her to watch out, so she uses the mirror on the back to peek around the corner. The camera zooms into the mirror to focus on who is approaching her, but you can see a slightly blurred Sprint logo. =)

*Note: I didn't watch last nights episode, so I don't know if the rebel has been revealed. I'm assuming s/he hasn't yet.
Don't spoil it for me! I'll have to watch it tonight.

cardfan · 03/24/2009, 10:07 AM

boo..no sylar. He steals the show.

crogs571 · 03/24/2009, 12:01 PM

well we can hint about rebel. He shares a name with someone's screen name on this site.

And when you find out who it is, you'll slap yourself for not already realizing it.

LoL... sooo true. I called it like 3 weeks ago at least (or whenever it was that Rebel started coming up).

crogs571 · 03/24/2009, 03:21 PM

I thought it was a bit obvious based on the "things" that were happening.
