Sprint Releases Apple iPhone-Dissing Advertisement for Pre

Roger McNamee of Sprint’s ad department is having a little too much fun when it comes to making advertisements for their new Pre cellular phone.

Looking above, you will see the new Pre advertisement released by Sprint just recently.

Okay, so their Pre is doing pretty good in sales, but that doesn’t give them any right to take a hit at Apple’s iPhone lineup. Especially seeing as the iPhone is doing tremendously better in sales and downloads than the Pre ever will.

It looks like this ad is actually directed to those whom sport a 1st generation iPhone, seeing as it states that “Your iPhone contract is up. Perfect timing.”

I cannot wait to see how Apple reacts to this advertisement. I hope they come up with at least a little something.

The photo can be found via Sprint’s Facebook photo’s album, here.

Whilst on the note of Facebook and all, I’d simply like to point out that Sprint currently has 80,099 fans, whilst a group named “Apple Students” is sporting a fair 1.3 million. AT&T, however, only has 5,000+ fans, which is quite interesting.
