WTF?
yeah, the shrieking bats at the end got me too.
I second that WTF, and add a "Seriously?"
noise at the end was the Sidekick shutdown noise.
still a weird video...
Not unusual, remember Microsoft bought Danger. Videos like this are Microsoft's M.O. Just google "songsmith video".
The phone was for like, literally 3 ~ 4 seconds before it vanished?
Indirect Marketing, was and is proven to be more effective, yet a tad more expensive than direct marketing.
I hate anchovies, lol.
I thought it was kinda funny.
If the Sidekick LX had UMA calling, I'd be sold. I'll just happily stick with my Blackberry 8900. While both are pretty, I rather pay for a device that does, well...more, you know?
Creepy video nonetheless. The girl kinda scared me. I think it's the smile. :\
That was bad.
It started off like a bad porn movie and finished off like a worse porn movie, in that it had no nudity.
Yeah, the vid kind of reminded me of a porno, but it was still pretty awesome. I like the ad.
I think that's what all cellphone ads are gonna be like for the next 4 months.
"I think that's what all cellphone ads are gonna be like for the next 4 months."
In that case i'm going to take up hermiteering for the next four months.
Hahaha. Using sex appeal in a creepy awkward way. great!
O__o wow...
Im not getting it cuz i have a G1, but i loved my sidekick LX. if i didnt have a g1 id totally get this
She can swivel me anytime
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I hate you sidekick.
worst "unboxing" ever
@ B3astofthe3ast, I had an LX, I loved it. I got a G1, I love it. Goin back to the LX, cuz I love it MORE! G1 is too slow doesn't do what it is suppose to do seamlessly, even with the updates it locks up a lot + battery life sucks + LX is just so streamline with everything soooooo LX>G1
More indirect marketing from Microsoft .. wooohooo ..
(though it was actually kinda funny this one)
i too hate anchovies !
It would have been a brilliant ad if the phone was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. He can pull off sleazy.
In the future...the sidekick becomes Syndrome, because I dumped it in the bin as soon as I got it.
I'll undo that box
He wants to be placed in her pocket so he can smell her pussy. If you know what I mean.
LOLOL
Buahahahahahaha, that was awesome.
I don't know what you mean? does she carry a cat around?
I don't get it
Nice
oh dear god. D:
Okay, so...yeah. I'm not the only one who thought she was unboxing a new vibrator for her box
HAHAHA! That is Hilarious. If only the Sidekic LX really talks to you with commentary like that, I would buy one right when it hits the shelves.
what is that supposed to mean???
