Verizon's New Holiday Ads

thegoldenmackid · Nov 8, 2009, 03:32 PM

Better then the first ads. Apparently the iPhone is a misfit toy. I love being naughty and browsing with my iPhone.

Engadget link.

Ouch.

anjinhamarota · Nov 8, 2009, 03:40 PM

And people still think there's going to be a Verizon iPhone?

As soon as they started the Droid campaign...

The misfit toys one really made me chuckle a bit. They aren't slamming the iPhone, just AT&T's network more or less.

That being said, I'm liking my Droid at the moment but I haven't given up on my iPhone yet. Still testing the Droid for another 27 days.

Roessnakhan · Nov 8, 2009, 03:44 PM

Yeah they actually seem like they compliment the iPhone (with the large size of the App store). Its more of a gouge at AT&T.

CandyCane23049 · Nov 8, 2009, 04:13 PM

Well my misfit toy gives me better coverage than VZW. Long gone are the days of having to sit in a specific spot for my phone to work and moving in the slightest that I would lose my phone call at my job. Having to literally walk out the door to use my phone.

it is not a hit on the iPhone but an attack on AT&T

I have to admit I found the adds really pretty funny.

These aren't, the Droid Does campaign is a different story.

Clearly it's a hit on both. Just saw the Blue Xmas ad on TV and the guy is clearly holding a white iPhone, even though the Apple logo was 'shopped out.

The ads are excellent. Verizon is going all in this quarter.

Will be interesting to see if ATT and/or Apple responds.

of course they are, they know they have ~7 months to take pot shots at apple and at&t before the new iphone/OS update.

It's advertising. My company I work for was bashing a product and a year later we're using it lol
You gotta love advertising

I'm sorry, but Verizon criticizing a product they're planning to sell is just bad business and I'm sure Apple wouldn't like that.

Oh I agree 100%
I hope they do sell it so we cn go into a store and say "weren't you just bashing the iPhone a few months ago?"

Sure but you don't think Apple wants to be a part of the USA's biggest mobile phone provider? Businesses love money so I wouldn't be surprised if VZW does get the iPhone in the future at all.

You're such a bad boy.

Further water to put out the "iPhone is coming to Verizon" fire.

greygray · Nov 9, 2009, 01:22 AM

Another reason why the iPhone will not be on Verizon's networks.

jav6454 · Nov 9, 2009, 01:23 AM

Verizon can die in a fire and their exec's can burn in hell. God I hate them so much. Wish an EM bomb would go off in their servers crippling their network.

Wow.

Glad to see by the commercials maps, I have excellent ATT 3G coverage in Central Fla !

Minimoose 360 · Nov 9, 2009, 10:22 PM

My friend sent me the video earlier...it actually is quite witty I must say.

zoomin6 · Nov 9, 2009, 11:37 PM

I find these commercials to be quite humorous

I still love AT&T and iPhone but it's just pretty darn funny how Verizon is bashing on them!
