Vzn ad says Pre is for women and Droid is for men

All I have to say is that is isn't Vzn's place to say who will like what.It is the consumer place to say who will like what, and the market. I'm sure there are plenty of females out there with the Pre.

Yeah I saw that...I find it funny I pretended the other night that I was actually going to let the wife pick out her own phone. We hit the store she does the walk around then says I like this one! - pointing right at the PRE 🙂

Hmmm, how bout that! Vzn's marketing was right.

So one of the differences between Vzn's Pre and Sprint's Pre is Vzn's has 16GB's internal memory right? 16gig is a good amount of memory.

I don't know about the memory, and was only joking she can have any phone she wants..she did think it was cute though. I don't find the PRE particularly manly, I will try to steer her to wait for the Tour 2 🙂

more memory, some reworked internals, but yeah pretty much the same.

Palm has been really popular with women smartphone users for awhile now (remember the Centro?) the Pre (and especially the pixi) are seen as the "cute" devices (not talking adds here,just reactions of friends and people I see) I love the way WebOS handles open applications, and the UI is really slick once you get used to it. It's most likely the only OS I could see my mom using because of that simplicity.

I too love the Droid. But I couldn't type on it at all, so I opted for the Eris instead, which I just got and am loving. I was formerly a Palm girl, but Android fascinated me more than WebOS.

Well, just remember, I don't work in the wireless industry. I don't wear an ATT/Vzn wedding ring. I'm a consumer.

Yes, you LOOOOOOVE to remind everyone of that.

But because you aren't in the industry doesn't mean you aren't smart enough to use some intelligence in your reasoning.

I don't have to be in the industry to know that Valentines Day has been a holiday geared towards men buying gifts for women.

I try hard not to think about woman. There just aren't very many quality attractive females in Las Vegas.

Anyway, good point about the "timing" of the Vzn ad.

Quality, attractive, not in Vegas?

Not hanging out where I do there I guess.

Well for one night stands this is paradise.
I don't exactly expect to meet a wife at the Palms.

Anyway I'm not into girls that have tongue piercings, lip piercings, tattoes, have more than 1 kid, and well that eliminates a LOT of girls.

Your description of Las Vegas women.

Oh, well all I know if Connecticut, and Vegas. It's all I know.

It just seems like attractive, quality, respectable females are very, very rare these days.

What does their being attractive have to do with anything?

Skills trump looks. That's what light switches are for. Don't get me wrong...looks are good, too. It just shouldn't be an automatic deal killer though.
