Features are luxuries. I am making a clear distinction between need and luxury, like a cellphone is a luxury.
No, you're right... it IS a luxury. Admittedly, it's a nice luxury to have
My bad for misunderstanding (just got back from happy hour, so I blame the beer.................and yes, I had a DD!).
Luxuries are extras you have to pay for. That's what makes it a luxury. Cell phones are just a tool for me (NOT a luxury at all).
So, your service is free? Awesome!
But just because a cell phone/service is not a $50,000 luxury, doesn't mean it's not a luxury. It's nothing more than a convenience... ask those who lived happily fine before cell phones (and the Interweb) became prevalent.
Not if he is on Verizon, I forgot to mention that. Also, to wonderers, it was an email sent an hour ago. I called to see if he got it, and well, the Verizon BlackBerry couldn't do it. Neither will the iPhone on Verizon.
Begging The Question
The ad presupposes you're actually able to TALK to your wife on the phone in the first place.

Here we go with the "absolutely no need for voice and data at the same time"
To you maybe not, for others its very important. Just because you lived and put up with it doesnt mean others want to or will.
You do know att has great coverage? And there are spots where both dont get coverage? We are not talking about sprint or t-mobile here....
...and too stupid to have it programmed into his calendar and ToDo list. If he forgot his anniversary, he also forgot that early morning meeting where he's to do the presentation to the CEO.

You've completely missed the point of this commercial if you believe what you just wrote. There are a million situations they could have portrayed, they just chose that one. The commercial is supposed to make everyone imagine their own little situation and why they would need that ability.
I don't talk and surf at the same time much, but it has really come in handy in a few situations.
One night my wife called me in a panic because she had gotten lost driving somewhere in her car. I put her on speaker, opened up Google maps and figured out where she was, and guided her turn-by-turn to where she needed to be.
That was a life-saver, as she was very upset. I haven't needed it like that often, but it does come in handy sometimes.

People have "survived" without cellphones for a long time, doesn't they aren't useful. Why is it so hard to admit that it's a feature that Verizon doesn't have. It's like when the iPhone didn't have MMS and people said 'you can just email the photo'. What's wrong with At&t advertising a feature that they have over Verizon?
I could think of a hundred uses for voice and data at the same time, but obviously I don't have to have it just like I don't have to have a car to get to work.
