Bing commercial shows mystery Windows Mobile handset

Mystery Windows Mobile handset

Microsoft has been pushing Bing pretty hard, but usually Windows Mobile is not part of the storyboard.

On this occasion, in a take-off of Easy Rider, mobile use of Bing is in fact demoed, using a Windows Mobile handset (the flag is the give away). However the actual handset does not ring any bells for me, and has a certain Nokia look about it.

Are any of our readers able to identify the pretty scuffed looking device? Let us know below.

See the Bing video after the break.

No idea but it sure doesn't look like an HTC handset.

Wouldn't read too much into it, probably just a generic phone the marketing team made up.

They want to bring attention to Bing, not the handset.

When I think of 'fruit' and 'incompetent' I tend to think about a different phone maker…

i saw the ad and it's good for "mass-market" brain-dead TV consumers.

Especially with Bing on iPhone MS can now actually spend marketing money on Bing Mobile without simply tossing dollars down the drain.

Bing integration is gonna sell MANY WP7 phones to soccer moms (ie. those buying & paying for smartphones in mass).
