Palm Pre Commercials Include T.V. Shows Heroes & Desperate Housewives
A series of spots that debuted this week weaves Palm Inc.'s Pre phone more deeply into the story line of two prime-time dramas.
In a "mini-mystery" called "Another Desperate Housewife," an extra from ABC's "Desperate Housewives" suspects her husband is cheating after checking his Pre. A voice-over refers to Sprint's wireless data network, as the phone is offered exclusively through Sprint Nextel Corp. in the U.S.: "This is suspicion, on The Now Network."
Along its eight-week run, a few dramatic twists and turns will be revealed — over the Palm Pre, of course.
Sprint also has a "Heroes" series of dramatized ads on NBC that follows new character Lydia, who is able to identify faces in the shape-shifting tattoos on her body. She uses the Pre to find her daughter, who also has a heroic power.

heroes et pre FTWFTWFTWFTW!!!!!!
I think the commercials are kind of funny, but I'm bothered by the technical details. I have a Palm Pre and I don't like that they have the screen on when they are "talking" on the phone, because when you talk on the Pre the screen turns off. Also, the sound for the text messages wasn't right. I just think if you're advertising a phone by either having it used in the show or by the little commercials, it should be accurate.
