Interesting, but it just looks like another Galaxy S commercial, however, did you notice that it had more of a gaming theme than a movie theme this time? I'm pretty sure they're pushing gaming more on this phone than movies.

Gamers are P off ,Viewer comments consist of 99.9% "sue Samsung".
Being Sammy and Micro are tight I don't see that happening.

yea i saw it during attack of show and as soon as i saw it i knew it was for the epic. I did feel it was towards gaming.

Great idea- take a phone with a keyboard which is CLEARLY a much needed business phone win opportunity for Sprint with Android- and market it as a casual gaming device. So you have the Evo which is marketed towards multimedia, now Epic marketed towards gaming. So any uneducated Blackberry/iphone business user assumes - "Oh sprint android phones are TOYS for consumers- not phones for someone like me. (No ad focus on productivity)

Genius! <sarcasm>

Oh my gosh! That's EXACTLY how my dad feels about the Epic! Instead of marketing towards business, they decide to market it as a gaming device? Whoa, whoa, whoa stop right there. Let's think this out. What will make more money? A business phone or a gaming phone? Marketing a phone as a gaming device looks like the company is trying to take on the iPhone. Only the iPhone can really be marketed as a gaming device because so many iSheep are brainwashed, that even if they are business customers, they will still get it. If you take some obscure phone that no one has really heard about and you do not try and prove it as a business device, then you are basically screwed among the non-geeks.

BOOM! LMAO - I'll be SO glad when the DUMB iPhone crap dies out! 1st of all my idea from the video was showing off the GRAPHICS and Media. We all know 30sec is hardly enough time to list all a phones feature. Last I checked a BASIC phone with email, talk, text SHOULD get any "Business" person thru the day decently. Off course their are more phones directed more towards a business audience so what don't attack the Epic or any phone for that matter...Simply put stop spreading Negative gargin enough of that in the world. I don't think my phone is a TOY - also most of what users know off a device is from researched and personal knowledge. I don't recall seeing an iPhone app opening up a Microsoft document and editing it in a 30sec commercial neither for Blackberry either so again its SO not that serious its the 1st commercial jeez besides you sound kinda backwards CLEARLY if your on here you know of the phones GREAT capabilities so why mention as if it doesn't have them? Kinda like waisted time and web space to post such a irrelevant comment I could see IF the phone lacked email support a NICE physical keyboard............. so far Sammy is being honest, can Apple say the same? If I hear 1 more new cell phone come out and they compare it to the iPhone Ugh im going to scream the iPhone is just like any other cell to me its just a darn phone boy o boy does society have folks brainwashed

WHAT in the freaking world did I just read? I'm simply stating that normal users will look at it as a toy. How is my comment being negative? I HATE the iPhone 4 and I HATE iOS. Don't get me wrong, though: I'm pro Apple, but I'm anti-Apple when it comes to their mobile products. Also, we are not comparing the Epic to the iPhone, just saying that any non-geek would pick the iPhone/Blackberry over the Epic. Yes, it is the first commercial, so I'm not going to criticize Samsung for anything. I'm not going to lie. Apple's marketing is hypnotizing and pretty dangerous. I almost fell for the stupid antennagate, even after going in with a clear idea that Apple were just trying to be morons and try and stay on top (even though they aren't).

While I like the commercials for what they are, they should produce another commercial showing most of the capabilities of the phone. All of the focus has gone only to media/gaming playback.
