AT&T is so convinced that you have to convince your Facebook friends that you should have a smartphone they will have faux attorney Kent Wesley, played by comedian/actor Will Arnett, to build your case for a new AT&T smartphone with the shameless self-promotion Facebook app "You've Got a Case."
The app syncs with Facebook users' profiles to create a customized case proving to the person of your choice that you deserve an AT&T smartphone. A series of unexpected "expert witnesses" will take the stand on your behalf to help Kent Wesley deliver an argument to a jury of your Facebook friends where every "Like" tips the scales your way.
Ken Wesley will make a case for you to get an AT&T smartphone but first he has to have access to your Facebook profile and says "Don't worry I won't get creepy," in a very creepy way.
Then you let Kent post to Facebook and access your posts in your news feed. You can pick the smartphone you want such as the HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket, HTC Inspire. You can also choose which Facebook friends will get the request.
The videos of Kent are funny in a creepy way. The app scans the elements of your profile while Kent make creepy comments about the suit of armor behind him with no one in it. He says, "The only contest I can't win is a losing contest."
When we entered the app took really long time to scan posts. After two or three minutes it wasn't funny any more and Kent started repeating himself. We finally had to shut off the sound of Kent Wesley. It took several minutes and finally when the app was done.
The app takes the profile photo and puts into a photo frame. There is also a chart with the profile picture in a Facebook flowchart of friends.
Witness Madison claims that a a new 4G smartphone would make his client more popular.
AT&T does not reveal if it keeps the Facebook data or not.
The best case to buy a smartphone, however, is that it has good reviews and meets your needs. Although the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket would be nice there is no AT&T LTE service is Los Angeles.
If someone were to buy you a smartphone it would also be nice he/she would buy the monthly voice and data plans too.
What do you think? Is this promotion going too far into your Facebook intimacy? Or if you get a Facebook friend to buy the phone would it be worth it? Let us know by posting on our Facebook wall...Don't get too creepy.
What a strange idea this is, hmm... I would never do this, heh.
