Netcom messes up in commercial!
April 4, 2013 | 
Author One of Norway’s largest phone companies messes up big time in their new TV commercial…
The commercial starts off by showing the male main character taking a picture of him self with a Samsung Galaxy S2 in a mirror then the commentator says this is him getting the first text from the female main character and they show his screen with the message conversation and it’s clearly an iPhone… Someone must not know the difference between Android and iOS even tho they sell both….
