Wow, good to see that MS FINALLY wants to promote some of what makes MS phones so cool...they should add some PPCGeek links to the commercial ROFL!

I'm pretty sure it is an internal advertisement but yes, it's cool. If only they showed more of what the actual devices do and less people trying to look trendy and youthful.

ditto I was thinking is this a windows mobile ad or a college ad? I couldn't really tell the diff...
I can see the aim of it but the I'm a PC campaign is much better executed IMHO

Honestly, I think this piece is a bit of an embarrassment. A pretty obvious sleight-of-hand to deflect attention from the fact that WM is, at its heart, torture to use.

Think of the original iPhone ads. The phone. A finger. Some flicking. And the public fell in love.

Now look at this. A corporate-think parade of demographically focused images. Music. Frolicking. Forced hipness. And a pointed determination to avoid showing the WM interface. Almost a Saturday Night Live spoof commercial. Tagline: "Microsoft: We Still Don't Get It".
