How Does the Google Phone Incorporate Storytelling into its Marketing?

The T-Mobile Google Phone demonstrates one of the best uses of storytelling for business I have seen in quite a while.  This is absolutely brilliant use of storytelling.

Good storytelling can truly make or break your business.

I discovered this gem because I am looking into getting a cell phone that will talk to me.  As someone who is mostly blind, I can’t read the screen of a cell phone, so getting one that wil talk to me would be great.

One of the phones that will talk to me does great things but will cost $2500 for the technology plus the monthly cost of service.

Someone told me that the Google Phone has an application that allows me to do all the cool things that you sighties can do.  I am still investigating, but there is a true gem on the T-Mobile page about the G1 (Google phone) that truly caught my eye of the marketer.

This page is where the storytelling begins…
