I was talking to my 18 yo about getting a new phone and mentioned the Palm Pre. We talked a minute about features, then I mentioned that the commercials were a bit stylized, supposedly someone's attempt to be artsy and hip.

He mentioned a lot of guys think the Palm Pre girl is hot.

I really don't think so, but maybe my tastes are different from those of the latest generation.....

Palm, Windows Mobile and perhaps RIM, better "up their game" if they expect to survive in the smartphone arena.

that palm pre chick is creepy as hell, I don't see her as a sex symbol...

She seems asexual to me, but I am repeating what others say, am curious if my sex-symbol-antennae have become that rusted with age.....

I have never even seen their adds, but they must be working if people are posting about them.

Not really, I couldn't name what product she represents because I turn the channel whenever I see her annoying face.

But now I know about her too, and I almost never turn on a TV.

I'm still not about to buy a palm pre.

as a 17 year old boy with raging hormones, i can safely say that she is not a sex symbol in any way.

I haven't seen the girl yet but I'm tempting to go for the Pre. What do you think of the keyboard, are they sufficient, not to small?

I haven't seen the girl in question, but ALL girls that age come with devices like that already surgically attached to their body.

INCLUDING when they drive, which annoys the HELL out of me, having almost been in wrecks, several times, that they almost caused.


Their utter self-absorbtion and contempt for all people NOT like them, convinces me that every single one of them are going to make DREADFUL little wives one day.

Here are the top two vids at Youtube on a search for 'Palm Pre Girl:"

Creepy Palm Pre Commercial

Palm Pre girl gets high

As for her much vaunted creepiness, I'd be happy to give her the introductory back rub and see if I couldn't soften those sharp corners a bit. She's not w/o potential, IMHO.
