The immediate difference that struck me was the way the characters had to, as you noted, hold the phone stiffly in front of them while having what was actually a very short two lines of dialogue. Plus, they had to stand still. Wouldn't do to have Peter trip and fall while talking to Olivia! Otherwise, the character would have normally been moving or running while talking on their phone giving the viewer the sense of constant, moving, edge-of-the-seat action.I wonder how much Sprint paid for that dramatic Product Placement insert? Also remembering that before that episode, Peter and Company had iPhones.Last-- My Male Chauvinist Id rears itself up again: Women won't like it. Guys don't care what they look like the same way Gals do. And if the lady is home and just laying around in her sweats and all mussed up, the notion of her phone accidentally transmitting her actual look would be. . .interesting for a lot of us.But on a more serious note, it raises stalking issues.
