Nokia Executive Calls iPhone “Interesting,” but Doubts its Mainstream Appeal

Press Release - January 15, 2007

U.S. wireless carrier, Sprint Nextel, will continue providing its customers with exclusive sneak peaks of Fox’s “24,” as the popular TV action series enters its fifth season.

Free previews of each 24 episode will be available to Sprint TV users a week before the show airs.

“This year, we have worked with Fox to give the passionate ‘24′ fans out there exclusive content on Sprint handsets,” commented Joel Shadle, a spokesman for the carrier. “We hope to continue to offer out customers show content they can’t get anywhere else.”

In return for this publicity, Fox will include product placements of several Sprint and Nextel-branded handsets in episodes of 24, giving special focus to those with GPS functionality.
