[Sors]

But what does that girl pink have to do with the ad?

[T.Vengeance]

I think you linked the wrong video.

Lol yeah he definitely linked the wrong one.

[Legend932]

Ehm, excuse me, did i click on the wrong link? I don't see any part of the song indicating that it is a Lumia ad am i missing something obvious?

Just in case OP is edited, here's the link that was originally there and the one i clicked

[HutchisonSorbo]

It's quite obvious that he posted the wrong link.

[whatthe_fuzz]

Here is the video everyone, without terrible pop song. 

[Snickerzz]

well we know what kind of music he likes

[Emperor_Piehead]

better than the previous ad they had which showed nothing about the actual windows phone.

[TheSLSAMG]

It does.  

 

But what does that girl pink have to do with the ad?

 

He linked the incorrect video.

[cxz]

I like pretty pictures, but def not something that will sell me one.  Plus it doesn't flow well with that big ass lump on the back lol.

[SteepGnomeKing]

I think this ad shows more the stupidity of people and taking pictures and videos of there kids.

 

This sums it up pretty well lol word for word.

I'd like to see a larger camera on some phones maybe like 20mp but have a larger aperture than what is currently on phones and a thicker phone with a larger battery also so it doesn't stick out awkwardly from the back. Than I can see this as a real feature.

[Lyons]

All i can say is LOL

[Giddyguy]

idk i found the video quite funny.

its not going to get me to buy a windows phone but it was very amusing.

 

p.s. i like the song form the original link.

The iPhone wouldn't even exist if Microsoft didn't save Apple from Bankruptcy in 1997.

 

Just sayin.,...

I love that song, it's so much better than the ad. 

 

Idk what Microsoft is even doing, it seems like they've hired more monkeys to work at their company, "Oh, we shall just slap a 41 megapixel camera onto our windows phone, people will sure buy that". I bet Samsung and Apple are just laughing at this ad. You know what else I find funny about this ad, Microsoft had to go out and buy an Apple phone to make this ad. 

[P.T Networx Australia]

Yeah, Hope it has support for external Hard drives. 
Not to mention that having a phone that takes a 41PM Photo is just as bad as having a DSLR camera without the sensor... Bigger Numbers make it look better to the typical customer.  

[Lil Chillbil]

Does anyone reall care?

 

 

as far as I can tell I am the only user on this forum who owns a PowerMac and used to applaud apple at every turn, smoke weed and listen to old bob dylan records and i'm not in the slightest offended

If they didn't Laptops, Desktops and Mobile Phones would be light-years behind. Heck, "Smart-Phones" today would basically be BlackBerry's.

Apple exist for a reason, and are the 2nd most valuable technology company for a reason. Don't be another Apple-Hating nerd because its "cool".
