I haven't seen the video with dieter on any of the SPE sites only here. Did I just miss the video or was it just not posted yet.

It's a humorous look at Sprint usage Statistics.

Wow! That's a great commercial for Sprint. I'm not used to seeing quality marketing that's associated with Palm in any way. I hope whoever produced this works on the Pre launch marketing.

But there's a bit of irony in their touting the "Now" Network.
"So when are you launching the Palm Pre?"
"Um, later..."

If they're gonna premier it during any show, they should make it during heroes.

If you do watch Heros you will see Treo's and Centros all over the place. Sprint I think has a great tie in with that show.

that is a slick video.... guess if it rears its ugly head tonight during the NCAA Finals then, we should be closer to a device

**dbpaddler** · 04/06/2009, 08:45 AM

I wish that commercial would've left the slider open a touch longer. Look forward to seeing it during the game tonight. It was well done.

**Se7enth** · 04/06/2009, 08:47 AM

Wow, this was a cool ad. I like it.
I only wished the Pre was shown for a few seconds longer though. Still good. Better than a Hesse commercial.

**sir_mycroft** · 04/06/2009, 09:27 AM

I am a little ashamed of myself for going to youtube for a commercial that was not in another language or did not involve beer.

But other that that, I am glad I did.

What time is this game on you speak off? I hear it's about a bunch of men running around trying to put a ball into a basket with a hole in it?

The tip off for the NCAA finals is 9:21pm EST.

I want that 360 view of the Pre as my wallpaper...it's sooo pretty!

**cookgoose34** · 04/06/2009, 10:23 AM

The print version of the WSJ story doesn't even mention the Pre. Bad job on there part.

**LupeValenz** · 04/06/2009, 10:34 AM

I like the ad and I'm loving the website. AWESOME!

**B-model#CB** · 04/06/2009, 11:07 AM

this was pretty cool. Not sure how it will work as a campaign as opposed to none commerical.

don't really care as long as I get the pre!

Not sure how it'll sell a phone or your network but it had some good animation.

Seems to me, in a recession, you umm..oh well..push the low prices while boasting of better quality 3g & coverage and other sprint perks.

Show someone happy with their iphone, then cue the guy in with his Pre, just as happy. Then the Pre guy asks, "oh the iphone...what's that run you per month?" Iphone guy says "i have unlimited voice and text but its a steal at 149 a month"

Pre guy says "really? i only pay 99 a month on Sprint for all of that & more, which also includes Sprint Navigation which is like having a real GPS, and Sprint TV"

Cue the iphone guy not looking too happy..

EDIT: have a Storm guy representing Verizon...its 159 a month that includes Verizon Navigation.

If they do a feedback to submit Pre movies like they did the instinct, I think your onto something that could make it onto TV
