AT&T Continues To Fight Verizon's New 3G Ads > Oops

reply to pnh102

Re: Oops

But given VZWs millions and millions of satisfied subs, the desirable handset thing is subjective. The coverage is objective. Particularly with the iPhone, while hugely popular there certainly is no shortage of people who think it's a total P.O.S. and AT&T cripples their handsets at well. Look how long it took to get MMS on the iPhone. Look at VOIP or streaming media on the iPhone (eg Sling or Sirius/XM). Tethering on the iPhone? Not without JBing.

AT&T could stick with compelling stuff it does have like rollover and get off its ass with the 3G footprint.

I think you just like disagreeing with me.

You are absolutely correct that all those are subjective, but since when has marketing and advertising ever been fact based? I happen to agree with you and I think Verizon offers nice handsets, but my point was there are wildly held opinions they could just as easy create a marketing campaign around rather than suing.

I think they're already poking fun at Verizon's Friends and Family, noting that you don't get to keep the minutes you save by using Friend's and Family.

Sorry, my Droid uses open source software, Google navigation is free ...

Gonna have to another tack.

My Droid has been an endless source of entertainment the past four days as I embarrass the IPhone owners with all the things it can do that they think are unique to their overpriced, over hyped CRAPPLE products.

My favorite is when I show them how simple it is to add music and video to my device while they have to plug their REGISTERED phone into a specific computer and start up ITunes and hope it doesn't puke all over their OS again.

Google navigation (google maps + GPS) is free on both my AT&T HTC Tilt and Sprint Treo 800w.

You enjoy your Droid just like people enjoy their Storm, Instinct, Pre and all the other iPhone killers that weren't out there.

iPhone is popular mainly because of the fad effect. There is plenty of phones that are out there that are better but people go for it because its more popular. Once a bigger fad comes out it will disappear.

They aren't "world's apart". They're all the same sh!t, diff'rent smell.

Yeah actually I do need to crap on the IPhone.

The more people I can convince to avoid Apple products the less stressful my job and my personal life will become.

I just don't enjoy dealing with calls from frustrated Apple customers who don't want to accept that their products can't do what they want them to do because of limitations Apple has put in place yet still expect us to come up with a solution out of thin air...

And I especially dislike when friends, family and acquaintances come to me for advice on which phone, music player or computer to buy and then against my strongest advisory not to purchase an Apple product do so anyway and expect me to recover their music libraries after ITunes blows up for the fifth time, help them get around DRM limitations or discover that Macs crash like every other computer but can't run 80% of the software they want to run.

If one more person asks me to help them get their Palm data on to their IPhone and piss moans when I tell them their is no direct way and even with the round about way they'll not get it all... someone may get hurt.

Apple computer is the bane of my existence and if took the entire state of California falling off into the ocean to make it go away that would be fine with me.

No, I've seen it, had it in my hands (saw it yesterday afternoon and messed with it for about 20 minutes) and am simply not wow'd by it as you apparently are.
