This new AT&T spot feels more like a dated ad for a video game than for the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone and music player. Driven by computer animation, the commercial opens with a product close-up as a hand flips the phone shut and the music starts to play. A stylish young man then walks through city streets that change in appearance as the music shifts through different styles. Ultimately, the guy walks through a futuristic cityscape on invisible sidewalks suspended in air.
