Not sure about the U.S, but Nokia are really trying to promote windows phones over here, I recently watched a soap aimed at students and every other scene had some sort of product placement advertising, its quite sad.

Yeah, there was a key scene in Touch where Kiefer Sutherland's sole purpose was to demonstrate the usefulness(?) of an augmented reality application on a cyan Lumia. It broke the flow of the story.

Seems like they tied a weight to their legs before jumping off that burning platform...
Oh, and it wasn't really burning, I had just turned the heater on.

buying space for advertising in tv shows and movies works well if you have something new/innovative (think of the communicator in James Bond) to push, but the problem with WP is it doesn't offer anything new.
the one thing it does offer is consistency.
MS have consistently offered mobile platforms that don't support older hardware, provide nothing new (in fact, often less features than the competition) and fail to provide an upgrade path on existing hardware.
Akin to the XP to Vista Fiasco, untold large organisations have chosen to stick with older versions of winmo simply because the new versions are a downgrade in terms of application compatibility and featureset.
MS have also consistently told users that the current issues "will be fixed in the next release/version".
Australia has seen a massive push in advertising for the Lumia line, and yet speaking with sales people (both operators and even stand alone retailers) in the industry, they call it "boring" and lacking in features.
Now why would you try to sell to a customer base that competition demands you need to retain, a product that risks alienating them?
And Nokia jumped into bed with this?

Seriously even if I personally want Nokia to fail because theyr stupid decisions but I really hope this is FUD!
Because this cant be true :O :O
