Remember That Huge Facebook Set for Palm Pre? The Commercial is Now Released!
Tony PericRemember that HUGE Facebook set that was built and leaked a while back and was speculated for the Palm Pre? Well it is officially out and it the Palm Pre/Facebook commercial touting the Palm Pre as the phone for use with Facebook. The ad features celebrity Joann Gikas singing with her band.

Where can we find it?
i love that song! hip band, hip commercial. nice job sprint!
Good song, it's stuck in my head. Really creative approach, and cool subject matter. I prefer this to the other palm ad.
Yes I love this ad too! I found more info on the band-- Joanna Gikas's band is called IO Echo and the song is "Doorway". After downloading from itunes I like the full length version of the song even better but the commercial does a great job with 30 seconds. I'm a Sprint gal (AT&T doesn't get reception in my house so I haven't been able to hop on the iPhone bandwagon) and I have been *waiting* for this phone. YAY!
thank you for a name... Joanna Gikas wasn't getting me anything.
the voiceover wasn't good IMO, didn't fit. decent ad though
It's a great concept and a lot more 'hip' they could drag this ad with several celebs if they play it right. Please it's cheaper to cross advertise with two companies than one.
I like the direction the companies are going in and I am loving the Pre.
Nice commercial but did they really have to build a huge set for a commercial in this day and age? On second thought, it probably would cost more to CGI the set. This approach just seems kind of quaint to me.
Ok that's fine and all but where is the damn facebook app for the Palm Pre?
Yeah, all that advertising and no app? The web site is great (looks just like the iPhone app) but of course can't integrate with the notification system.
The lady is tone deaf and could not sing if her life depended on it, sorry to be harsh but please...
JT, suck a dick. I LOVE THIS SONG. and I love this spot.
