Well, the latest news on what features Windows Phone 7 Series will (or, more accurately, will not) have may’ve left me a bit (i.e./ very) disappointed, but there’s still news happening about it, so I’ll continue reporting on it. Today’s news is that the first Windows Phone 7 Series commercial has appeared online. And it stars a woman with mad hair:
She is, apparently, Anna, and she uses her 7 Series phone to share her photos with her loving partner Miles, and their son (I presume it’s their son, it could just be some ET mutant) Luca, to which I say: Luca? Really? They named their kid after a character in The Godfather? So, basically, what they’re saying is that their kid is slow-witted and brutish, but is good at being ruthless, and has an unwavering loyalty to Don Vito Corleone.
Or am I reading too much into that? I tell you what, though, if you assume they are a Mafia family, it gives the advert a whole new undercurrent of tension. When she takes the photo of the car, that’s the car their hit will be in. When they’re in the Volvo at the end, they get directions to the restaurant their target’s eating at.
That’s not a date night, that’s a hit on the Barzini family!
It does imply, as well, that the parents aren’t the actual mob bosses in this tale. No, it looks like they are merely muscle for the kid. Therefore, that kid is Keyser Soze. Or possibly Damien out of The Omen, since he has the same hair, which would make him the son of Satan. And if that’s true, it has all sorts of unfortunate implications for Anna.
So, in conclusion, the new Windows Phone 7 Series is a cross between The Godfather and The Omen. Which would probably explain why they’re taunting us with what definitely appears to be the HTC HD2 running 7 Series (at around the 43 second mark), when Microsoft have definitively said it won’t, which is just cruel.
Ergo, Luca, in that video, is the Anti-Christ…
