More Sprint Now, More Pre 18

Big ups to DwightShrute and Captain Hair for catching that there's another Now commercial up from Sprint. We'd say it's a little less compelling than the last, except that inch for inch there's a lot more Pre here. We're also happy to see Sprint give a shout out to Pandora and Loopt. Pandora we know will be on the Pre -- but perhaps Loopt will to?

Fair point.
Of course.
I was going to agree with the rest of you but I think Anon's choice of words is quite apt.
The ad is not a "lie," but it could be considered misleading in that it touts a network, showing a single type of phone on it*, and quickly mentions what sounds like a successor to 3G - 4G.
It's natural for an uninformed viewer to connect those dots - Sprint, NOW, Pre (unnamed), 3G, 4G.
* - which kinda kills a point I'd made in the thread
