Any fans of this show notice the Nokia Lumia 920s, on the season premiere? I saw the red and black models.

I do not watch that show. And I have to admit, the thread title made me think that this was going to be a troll thread. LOL.

Windows Phones have been in a lot of shows like Castle, Hawaii 5-0.

Well, no matter the thread title, I'm really glad that the Lumia phones are getting so much air time on TV.

[Paladinleeds]

Came here expecting a troll thread. Well, that's me officially put in my place isn't it?

[Dex Da Rex]

I'm embarassed to say that on occasion I watch the Vampire Diaries, and the product placement in that show (including a lot of windows phone and android) is shameless. They're in every scene and actually integrate themselves rather clunkily into entire plot devices. Just in the last episode a main character, when asked how they can find out the address of a company, actually theatrically pulls out a windows phone (i think htc) and exclaims: "We could BING it!"

My wife and I are hooked on that show!

yeah ok so i was kinda lying about the 'on occasion' part....it's a little more frequent than that. :)

[Laura Knotek]

I don't watch the show and never heard of it, but I saw a Windows Phone commercial at the movie theatre. It was the one with Ben the PC Guy challenging the couple at the outdoor cafe to see whether the woman's iPhone 5 or the Nokia Lumia 920 took a better picture at night. Ben had a yellow 920. The woman picked a red 920.



That's the video I saw.

Prior to that, there was another ad that showed off more 920s in various colours and 8Xs in various colours.

That's not unusual. They did it quite awkwardly in Hawaii 5-0 as well. It was a bit more discreet in Castle.

I know Hawaii 5-0 had some terrible Subway product placements too.

I don't blame the shows because everybody is skipping the commercials now days. Just wish they could do a better job of writing them into the story. It's almost like watching Truman Show where she would stop doing everything she was doing and looked at the camera and did a commercial while he sat there staring at her wondering what she was doing.

Haha. I came here ready to fight the troll also. I don't watch TV. Moving on...

[UnfixedPyle]

It was also in Burn Notice and the Surface was in NCIS a while back, they have been getting quite a bit of placement on TV.

[Paladinleeds]

I was watching a program today (I think it was Emmerdale) and spotted someone looking at pictures on a phone with a bright blue back. Could tell by the design it was a Nokia Lumia.

[sinime]

Lol, read the title and got my defense cap on :/ will have to get the wife to DVR it and check the show out.

And it was on Castle

[SinisterDuck]

The show Elementary had Sherlock use a Surface and Bing to look up something. Slightly awkward, but showed the stuff nicely.

[willied]

I was watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (freaking hilarious) and Dee was using either a 900 or 920.

[JacksonSQD]

I also thought this was going to be a troll thread..
Oh well.

[snowmutt]

My wife just gets a kick out of me pausing a show to see if I can Identify the phone in the scene. I get all excited when it is a WP....

[Flan Tamarind]

Actor1: Yes... (dramatically pulls out Surface) Let's Bing it!

Actor2: Sure, but how can you know you've found the right thing?

Actor1: Easy! Just upload the images to SkyDrive!

Actor2: You're right! Let me post a message from my People Hub to tell everyone how easy this was!

Actor1: Awesome! Hang on a sec while I let my kid play with Kid's Corner!

Actor2: I heard it was seen at a local popular coffee shop. Easy to find with Local Scout!!!

Actor3: Hey guys! I just saw the van we're looking for! Let me share the photo I took of the license plate with NFC(tm) Tap to Send!

Actor4: Wait!!! These phones have XBOX?!?!?!?! OMFG AMAZING(head explodes)....


This has been a rendition of the magic of Windows Phone by the WPC Actors Guild.... minus one. :-p

[paddylaz]

There's no worse worse offender in product placement than the Bond franchise, everyone and their mum seemed to have those crap sony ericsson phones in Skyfall - Bond, Javier Bardem, the WHOLE of MI6. I still remember turning to my friend in the cinema during Casino Royale and actually saying out loud 'what the F***?!' when in the middle of a scene, the girl suddenly asks Bond:

'That's a very sexy watch.......what is it, a Rolex?'

Bond: 'No, actually it's an OMEGA.'

Oh dear.
I usually mind less when the products are actually decent but those bond phones are abysmal. Loving the lumia presence in Vampire Diaries, but seriously, regardless of your feelings for google - who the **** says the phrase 'Why don't we bing it?!'

Nokia Lumia 920: Sarah's match is a Windows Phone - Full Length - YouTube

Nice, that's actually quite effective there. Would not mind to see cut version of that as a TV ad.
