Talking Thumbs Commercial: Cute or Nightmarish?

Maybe I just have very little patience for creepy gadget commercials, but I still have to say: What were these marketing people thinking putting faces on thumbs?! I get a cold shiver for every pair of faces that appear on rapidly typing thumbs, but maybe I'm just a baby. What do you think?

AT&T introduced the thinnest BlackBerry handset yet last week and I have to say, it was about time. The BlackBerry 8800 incorporates a full QWERTY keyboard, and all the functions of the beloved 8700 Blackberry, which Jennifer Aniston is a huge fan of. AT&T will be the first wireless carrier in North America to launch the BlackBerry 8800 and will begin offering it across its wireless retail and business channels on February 21.

The BlackBerry 8800 has a premium, dark blue finish and Push To Talk on the handset. It features a built-in Global Positioning System, a new trackball navigation system for fast and intuitive navigation, as well as a media player and a microSD expandable memory slot for storage of music and videos.

The BlackBerry 8800 also comes with a complement of accessories - headset, travel charger, holster, and USB cable - that are included in the box. It will be available for $299.99 with a two-year commitment. You can get unlimited corporate email access via BlackBerry for $44.99 a month with a voice contract.
