I love Heroes. Also, if you watch 24, every phone is a sprint phone. A couple years ago, the lady who was married to the CTU chief had a Samsung A920. The other night, I saw somebody using a Mogul. But they make sure that the sprint logo gets out there.

In the first season of Heroes, they were all using Sprint branded Samsung M510s... my girlfriend loves hers and noticed right away.

How can phone companies not make a profit on HTC devices ? If you buy one without contract discounts, they charge you full MSRP. There's no way in hell Sprint is paying that much for the device from HTC. I doubt they're even paying the "New customer" price.

Big Heroes fan here too. I totally saw the Diamond being used as well, but they didn't show it off too well. The most you saw was the backside of the phone and the fake sound effects they threw in (unless, perhaps, Senator Petrelli was using a custom sound package?

).

If anyone here watches Fringe, they were using the AT&T video share feature in last week's episode. The advertising was about as obvious as Heroes' Nissan product placement.

God bless product placement, its the future of advertising. I just wish they were less obnoxious about it sometimes. That Nissan Versa was seriously in your face for Heroes.

I remember in one of the episodes of 24 they used TCPMP, not exactly product placement, but a humorous tidbit nonetheless.

IT's kind of misleading, they need to advertise THAT model as being exclusive to ATT. It's called truth in advertising.

Speaking of commercias, do yourself a favor and check out www.yellowbook.com/tv and enjoy. Mods, feel free tom ove this thread to the off topic forum now. And Chuck has more product plaement than any other show I've seen. But I agree that Heroes is the most blatant. "Claire, what did I tell you about using unlimited text messaging for only $20 for all lines on you Sprint Samsung Instinct which was only 49.95 with a two year contract and mail in rebate while driving the 0% financing, $1500 cash back Nissan Rogue?"

It was Clair, she was using the Pink Centro. I also say a BB Curve this season and a Katana DLX last season
