Bell's Palm Pre commercial couldn't be more Apple if it had an Orba Squara soundtrack

Far from being creepy this time around, the latest Palm Pre ad -- this one specifically for Bell's Canadian customer base -- is familiar. Very familiar. Plain white backdrop? Check. Peppy male narrator? Check. Hip, upbeat music? Check. Mysterious hands showing off mobile apps and other smartphone capabilities? Check. Side-by-side comparison videos after the break. Hey, at least this one isn't gonna creep you out.

Update: Looks like someone read our minds and spliced the commercial with Orba Squara's infamous "Perfect Timing" found in the iPhone ads. Video's after the break.

One of the first 3g commercials that actually had me interested in the iphone.

The Creepy Girl does nothing except make me want to hide in my closet.

Like them or not, Apple knows who to sell their products (at least the iphone and the ipods), and that's why RIM, Plam(Bell) and everyone else are copying them (Microsoft store).

I'm hoping the Zune HD has some nice commercials, and I'm sure someone will be like "Oh its just like an Ipod commercial"

PALM PRE > IPHONE

I was at Future Shop and the Bell employee was showing off his new Palm Pre, I love how you can run multiple apps at once. But the keys are still gross...cheap plastic-ness.
