Millions do this on a daily basis. I mean really it would be nice to if we could assume the entire buying public is even keeled and can make a command decision based on their own abilities but you would be foolish to neglect all the naive, gullible, people that are so easily ready to please, or buy impulsively. That's the majority voice and clearly anyone can see that Alba has done more harm to that brand name than she has done good.

I still find it shocking the Daily Mail consider this news and think it says more about its readers than Jessica Alba or Windows Phone.

So, when she does not get paid and is not gifted with free Windows Phone handsets she goes and picks a competitor product

It does not exactly reflect nicely on the company that paid her to promote their product, when immediately after her contract is over and she is free to chose what she wants, she chooses an iPhone over WP.

Do you really need everything spelled out to you like this or otherwise you don't get it?

So what? You act like this is a first for anybody getting paid to endorse something that isnt their first choice. Do you think Peyton Manning is really only driving a Buick?

Yes, along with Shaq.

99% of celebs seem to use Apple products. They've just done an excellent job of marketing their products as high class, attractive and easy to use. No one else is really close in this regard

I need to see those stats for myself :p

Actually i see pics of celebs using all kind of different phones like everybody else.

The only reason I got a Galaxy S4 is because Jay-Z used one in the magna Carta promo.

If he switched to the Palm pixi, I would use that.

Everyone should peruse TMZ prior to making a smartphone purchase.

Jessica's choice of phone or snot really matter. And neither does WP for that matter. It's already a has-been.
