‘2007 called. It wants its camera phone back!’

That’s one of the better lines from the newest Windows Phone commercial entitled “The Recital,” our latest irreverent take on the smartphone wars.

The new spot, set to air during MTV’s Video Music Awards, was created in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as an earlier Windows Phone commercial entitled “The Wedding.” In fact, both commercials share the same director, Roman Coppola, as well as many of the same offbeat actors.

“But the real star is the new Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 1020, which CNET declared has the ‘best camera in the industry.’ AT&T customers also give it a 5-star average rating,” writes Windows Phone Blog Editor Michael Stroh.

For the rest of this story, head on over to the Windows Phone Blog. Oh, and enjoy the TV spot!
