HTC's definitely been a major name amonst the gadget cognoscenti for a while now, but it looks like the company's gearing up to go mainstream -- this is the first print ad from the new HTC You campaign that's launching today. Considering HTC's recent slew of high-profile handset launches like the
Hero,
HD2, and
Tilt2 and equally-promising upcoming products like the
Dragon and
Droid Eris, we'd say this marketing push hasn't come a moment too soon. As for the ad itself, while it's not exactly a knockdown punch, it certainly suggests that HTC sees Sense UI as its ace in the hole -- we'll see how that plays out as Android 2.0 phones like the
Motorola Droid come out and make stock Android sexy again.
Update: And the commercials have gone live on YouTube as well -- we gotta say, we're pretty into them. Check 'em after the break.

The will always conjure images of the Thomas Crown Affair... but the spots (more so the 1st) work.
I think these commercials are good. They aren't the catchiest but they do look like the would spark the interest of the mainstream consumer.
The software download tab is missing from the Hero support page at HTC.com
Totally agree with the second part. A phone that makes me mad. Seirously, HTC phones can be SO DAMN SLOW.
@ ali dont buy into the hype my touch pro runs like butter.. its obvious that touch flo 3d wont run as fast as a dam icon grid.. so if thats a problem.. turn touch flo off, what a novel idea.. lmao
