The 'Mom' that calls during the n900 video - too young?
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhTtsZATwBQ

She's like 20 years old! Who is the n900 targeted at? The six-year-old kids of teenage mothers?

Finnish moms are just hotter for longer.

My biggest gripe about that video is all the stupid glowy animation at the beginning. 20 seconds of that crap!

People are sold on flashy, shiny, glowing things with epic music. For people who've not looked into the n900 before, those 20 seconds are going to be the difference between "looks kinda cool i guess" to "holy **** I want one of those!"

I know this, because I am one of those people :rolleyes:

If I had my way, they'd be even more epic. Somehow.

Bad news. There's no swirling, glowing pixie dust in the N900, no matter what that ad suggests ;)

That's actually the reverse of what it looks like when you explode your N900 with a pressure-washer.

lies.

N900s are made of diamond dust and high energy physics. It says so in the promotional videos. Stop spreading misinformation, it's only a prototype device! :p

No, sadly, the owner of the pixie dust powered N900 featured in the video is actually a twenty year old himself. Problem is, he uses Hermes to keep the contact information on his phone up to date, and well, Mom's on Facebook. She took Dad running off with that that bimbo hard, and now she's loaded that old photo of herself as her profile pic to better accompany the desperately flirty messages she posts to her son's roommate's wall. So, it's good the N900 multitasks well, for every display of that picture when Mom calls inspires another submission on fmylife.com.

Finally a rational explanation. - they should put this on the end of the video

A public service announcement:

A cougar has been spotted in your area. Very dangerous. Do not approach or respond to her flirty posts on your Facebook wall.
