New Evo Commercial

[LikeAChampion3]

So here is what I would like to see for a commercial.

Fade-in to a dude sleeping in an apartment, its morning and on the night stand is an Evo on the kickstand with an alarm going off. He gets up, puts on a suit, grabs the Evo, leaves the apartment. Uses navigation or car mode and gets to work. Sitting at his work desk with Evo on kickstand in "Desk Mode" (doesn't exist...yet) doing something useful. Leaves work, finds some food via an Evo app, gets a text from a hottie, meets said hottie at a bar via Latitude. Time speeds up and now its late at night, dude in bed with hottie and the Evo is back on the night stand on the kickstand and they are watching a movie on it. Final scene matches the opening (morning, alarm going off), but the hot chick hits the snooze button.


Its like a combination between a beer commercial and a jeans commercial. Its got sex and technology, what else could you want?

a bigger screen to be watching a movie on? i wouldn't want to watch a movie on my Evo when i have a 60" hdtv ...how about changing that to "Time speeds up and now its late at night, dude in bed with hottie and the Evo is back on the night stand on the kickstand and they are watching a movie on the tv via the HDMI cable from the evo to the tv." or something to that extent

There you go! Yeah, show off more features, thats the idea. Features to get hot chicks in bed, even better.

That would be a cool *** commercial lol

Sweet!

That kind of commercial won't air on many channels because of the implication of sex.

There are many ways they can make a good commercial. Sprint is usually VERY good about commercials. They made the PRe look like the shizz.... so let's just wait it out and see. They probably have a few commercials up their sleeves.

I have to dissagree on that one... They had some horrible commercials for the pre.... With that weird lady... Just horrible lol

Are you kidding me ... Sprint commercials are the work of neanderthals when it comes to marketing their " flagship " phones ... The Pre marketing was horrible ... It made the PRE look like **** not the shizzz ... A travesty of great marketing ... The same thing they did with the EVO.

They probably have a few commercials up their sleeves.

The fact that I just received an official email from sprint announcing thier exclusive " MEEET AMERICA'S FIRST 4G PHONE " 2 months after I bought it further shows me they are slow, old, unaware and out of touch with today's users.

Sprint didn't make the creepy albino Borg Queen commercials about the Pre reading her mind while she went, "Bing. Bing. Bing." Those were Palm's epic failures, literally strangling their baby in the crib. Sprint's ads mentioned the multi-tasking and how you'd save enough money on your contract to build a Dunkin Donuts IN SPACE!

Which further backs up my point about terrible marketing for their flagship phones ... All of sprints commercials are about the network with a snippit about the latest phone ... They have never spearheaded an all out (well crafted) campaign for any phone they have ... I have said it time and time again ... Sprint doesnt worry about selling phones ... Their objective is the Network ... They're in the business of communication and thats where they focus marketing ... The job of selling phones are the phone companies such as HTC, Apple, Samsung, Motorola and stores such as Best Buy, Radio Shack Walmart , Etc ... Apple does 90% of iphone Marketing NOT AT&T ... The Big Red is doing such a damn good job with the Droid line that Most of america thinks every Android device is a "DROID" .

 

[DirkBelig]

But you're blaming Sprint for not doing what they don't do; namely, market PHONES over their NETWORK. I've always laid the blame for Pre's tragic failure on Palm's absolutely idiotic marketing plan which did everything but show what the phone did and what made webOS special.

iPhone ads show it doing a bunch of stuff in 30 seconds. (I've always wanted to redub an ad, "Say your watching a movie on your iPhone. Suddenly you're hungry, but what for? There's an app for that. Chinese food sounds good and the iPhone gives you directions to the restaurant, but hey there's a video store on the way, so why not rent another movie to watch and then Sally calls and....dude, you've got ADD.") People see the ads and know they can do a lot of stuff with it. Pre was lucky to have a one-second shot of cards being swiped.

So this commercial could also show off Qik by having the guy video chat with the chick before they met up. Lots of features...

Yeah, that weird lady was Palm's doing. I don't know what the **** they were thinking, first with hiring that award winning movie producer to make the commercial in Asia with the dancing kids. Then her, like really? That's what you do with your advertising budget? Sprint's commercials were miles ahead of Palm's. I'm sorry, but simple commercials that show off the phone's features, like the iPhone commercials, are the most efficient.

I agree about the creepy Palm lady commercials, and that Verizon has some sweet Droid commercials. That new one with the Hotspot bubble does exactly what needs to be done to help most people visualize what it does.

Now, back to the Evo ad. There has to be multiple versions, at least one version for late night, another for during football games, etc. These phones do so much cool ****e that it would be pretty easy to impress people as long as your talking their language. For guys, its sex, beer, football, and food. Pretty darn easy to do...just use that old Miller Lite commercial as a basis (you know, the one where the girls are fighting in the water!)

For the gals, I think those straight-up "here is what my apps can do, here is what my hardware does" iPhone style is the best. My wife loves her Evo, but is constantly impressed with all of Apple's adds. She doesn't understand the Evo ones.
