Maybe I am a "HATER" Hip hop is a major source for advertising, but Hiphop fans of today don't give a damn about naughty. Lets make this clear I'm a fan of them and hiphop in general. This just looks like a cheesey attempt.


Sorry people Its a wonderfull idea what was I thinking...

So tell me in your opinion, who you would have picked to advertise the phone?

Good question. I'm not really sure. Naughty is a good fit for older hiphop heads. The best answer would be probably be someone super popular and wack, but everyone would buy it. Everyone is right tho MS and HTC has to get all the exposure they possibly can. Forgive me for my rather harsh jab.

I think thats the crowd they want. Older business professionals. Naughty fan base is alot broader then some of these other "popular artists". The popular artist may have a bigger fan base but they are all in the same age group and similar minded. Where as Naughty covers alot of different fan bases. I like what they are doing. This is one of those things that it will get your attention even if you don't like them which is a win win for the company in the end because it's still exposure.

Good point. I also had no idea any ppcgeeks were involved in the project. I just naturally thought some marketing company read how to theme and exploited it. Where is Trech anyways ?

thats more like it! I guess you can get a pass for those other comments lol

I think its great to see "ppcgeeks" involved like this. I'm going to show 100% support for this one. It will be interesting to see what doors this opens or ideas it sparks. Now I need to find that facebook link!

congrats to all involved I hope it goes well!

THE FULL VERSION VIDEO

I have to say I personally really like Naughty By Nature and their new album that is coming out this year makes them totally relevant in today's market. [wait till ya here it] they also were inducted into the hip hop hall of fame this past year.

Average customer won't be able to do what??

The theme will just install as a cab file?? Who does not know how to do that?

Also the Idea behind all this is that as we all are aware some other phones advertising and app store has gotten alot more press for sure, but windows is aware and that's why they are launching 6.5 with the windows marketplace button [App store will be live soon]

Not to mention I met Vin once and have a picture or two with him so needless to say... I am SUPED!

It's really groundbreaking in my opinion for both MS and NBN. I donno.. maybe it's just because it hits close to home for me on multiple levels...

Assuming I don't win the contest, I'm wondering where I could get that custom theme anyway... just in case I feel like reppin somedayz lol

you will be able to get from the windows marketplace.
