Looks like the Sprint employees are letting the Pre out in the wild. I got about 20 minutes of hands-on time with it and it was nice. I disagree a little with Boy Genius’s about the cheap feel, but the keyboard is a little cramped. I could see getting used to the keyboard with a some extended usage. Also, the OS version was 1.0.1 and the employee said an update will be out the day of release. Looks good so far, though. Check out your local Sprint store for a hands on.

The Spirit Airlines ad above is a classical example of racetalk . The advertisement is obviously referring to President Obama’s recent Supreme Court pick, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. The advertisement uses the phrase “Justice Ochita Suprema” which is getting at their $8 fares. This is a poor attempt at advertising that has clear racial undertones.

[Update]: Here is another post on the ad that was received in an email.
