Hmm Cheap and Lousy product demo picture!

Look at what I ran into over at overstock website.

I thought it was VERY funny. Well, not that funny, since it misrepresents the screen size, image quality etc for the untrained (or almost blind) eye..

Look at this:



And the phone they used on the picture has obviously been used for a while, and might have some scratches on the screen, so they thought cutting and placing a picture from a magazine would fix it.


Oh, wait a minute.. The unit is actually factory reconditioned.. So you might actually end up getting this phone after all, with a magazine pix on it!! :)

Yeah, pretty poor job fitting the picture in the screen! Thanks for the laugh!

that is the the transdimensional screen... the image actually LEAPS off the screen, especially in windy conditions

Looks like they was just displaying the picture taken by the camera, to show what the picture would look like taken by the camera.
But still, maybe they don't want us to see the condition of the display.

Lovely looking couple though

Wonder what they would think of having their photo laid on top of a phone in an add.

Reminds me of the "Laminites" - those pictures you get in a new wallet or picture frame. Usually cheesy and cheap.

Who ever made that ad couldn't even use Photoshop!
