Wheres the HTC Commercials?

I was just sitting here wondering.....
You see a TON of iphone commercials..
Lots of Blackberry commercials, several Samsung,Motorola,Palm Pre and LG commercials.
So I wonder why dont you ever see an HTC commercial?? Am I missing them?
Seems like HTC could be a much more popular product if they would just push it a little. (Kinda like how Verizon crams a Blackberry in you face as soon as you walk through the door)
I would love to see HTC get the attention they deserve but untill they start advertising people are just gonna keep going into the stores wanting to see the new BB or iphone.

Just my thoughts.... Whats yours?

Very true. iPhone, Pre, MyTouch, T1, Blackberrys, and Motorolas are on TV all the time. I've NEVER seen an HTC commercial, most people dont even know what they are. They've relied on word of mouth and store reps to seel these phones, and considering how many they sell, you'd have to imagine that the numbers would skyrocket with a little advertising.

same thought, they probably would be more successful if theyd advertise and show off their phones a little however i'm sure part of it is continued fall out from when their phones were branded by the carriers not HTC branded

I actually saw one once when I was at a friends house. He had HD satellite TV. The key is once! Never seen one on regular TV.

its a wonder how htc got so successful..

you'd think seeings how everyone else involved gets their advertising
and htc is so successful b/c who else are you going to talk to for a good WinMo phone? i think the only thing i've seen thats come close recently is the omnia and more recently the Toshiba T01 that isn't available over here

a lil off topic but i was thinkin about a good advertising strategy for winmo, you know those commercials that ms did for windows(they "gave" people $1000 to find a good windows comp and saying macs were too expensive,blah blah blah)? well ms could do that for winmo...

that could work, seems to do wonders for PCs since their mind share went up and apple cut prices and cried to MS
