Most people seem to agree that this is extremely lame.

Wow. Those are extremely lame, even for webmercials.

Rule number one in marketing.


Never stand beside the attractive person if you want to look attractive.

They're trying to show that the iPhoto loads slowly. They used the Sprint homepage as the test. It's a poorly built site to begin with, so it's no wonder it loads slowly on the iPhone. It's not so much of a testament to the iPhone's speed, as it is to Sprint's inability to build a good web site.

The Instinct seems like a nice phone actually. Wonder how i holds a signal?

yeah, but who says "cool, is that an instinct?"

but when you seen an iphone -- "cool, is that an iphone?"

this was a good comment:

What I get from this is Apple makes better looking hardware than Samsung, but Sprint's data service is faster than AT&T's.
Unfortunately for Sprint, the people appear to want the Apple HW and are willing to deal w/ AT&T's service.
