Why bash the Andriod when your going to sell the android?

At&t=Fail

This commerical=Epic Failure!

who cares either way i dont want a droid or a iphone. Palm web os is sweet and sprint has the best prices by far and some good phones now.

Ah, that makes sense… thanks for the explanation. But I do have a question about one thing you said: you mentioned being on a call and not being able to get online (simultaneous voice and data), but with the Android phones can you be on a call and still get into your non-web-based apps? Like contacts, notes, and so on? That would be 95% of my use of that, at least. I’m not really interested in booking a thing on a site while I’m still on the call… that’s where I’d be saying: “I’ll call your right back” anyway…

As for your feelings towards AT&T, I totally sympathize, but I’ve had the same feelings towards VZ myself, so I’ve just given it all up to being a slave to the system until something *truly* revolutionary comes along. (We have to use one of the bigger carriers like those two because our family is in the back woods of Massachusetts and we can’t get reception from anyone else.)

TechUzer: That is a technical limitation of the CDMA technology Verizon uses for their network, not a limitation of the Android OS. All third-generation GSM networks (AT&T and T-Mobile) support simultaneous voice and data, and even though I hateHATEHATE AT&T, I must give them kudos for sticking Verizon with at least that.

However, once Verizon switches to LTE (which is GSM based) this won’t be a problem. AT&T also fails to mention that 2G GSM networks also can’t do simultaneous voice and data, which does make up most of their own network (there’s a map for that). It’s a tradeoff.

For the record, I’ll stick with the superior GSM network technology and T-Mobile for now.

I don’t think they’re saying that the Droid is a dumb phone… They’re saying that the VZ network effectively “dumbs down” your Droid, because getting anything done takes too long. But THAT’S what’s questionable: how much slower could VZ’s 3G be for what are basically mini-web apps? And it would depend on where you are.

On another point, is it true that you can’t check out other stuff while on a call on the Android phones? If so: that’s a definite fix that needs to be made…

Stupidest commericial, by far, that i have seen in my life. For the idiot girl who says where are all my apps? i feel bad for you, do you expect to open EVERY phone and for everything to be SPRAWLED on for you like a baby? lmfaoo this commericial was just ridiculous! i wish they wouldve thrown one of their phones at Luke, for being an idiot and doing these commercials!!!!! -_________-
people are just retarded. at least im glad SOMEONE at least OPENED the phone! props to them :) hahah

I have never used AT&T so I cannot comment of there service but I have had Verizon for four year and I have dropped exactly one call…and I had to drive through t tunnel for that to happen. If half of the grumbling I heard about AT&T’s coverage is true then the reliability I have experienced with Verizon’s service is reason alone to keep my contract.

Call me crazy but I actually like making calls on my phone.

i-mobile, while your spelling and grammar were terrible (really, just awful*), I am forced to agree with you. Verizon has fair-to-meh pricing, a few good phones, and stellar coverage. AT&T has the iphone, more smart/feature-phones that aren’t locked down (i.e. no OBEX for bluetooth, that sort of thing), wicked-fast internet, but almost no coverage. This is a crappy war, and no-one will be convinced by either sets of ads to switch, except to t-mobile. Also, Verizon’s tech support is awful. Just to put that out there.

*Not to offend, but seriously, spellcheck.

Yeah, I think I’ll keep my T-Mobile and just wait to upgrade to Nexus One. I can “roam” on AT&T for just about everything but 3G already, anyway (only because AT&T’s 3G uses a different radio frequency than T-Mo’s). And for those with less-than-perfect credit, T-Mobile offers a FlexPay option that will let you use ANY T-Mobile or compatible GSM phone on their network with the same cool plans and features as their post-paid customers. Blackberry Bold with unlimited everything for $80 a month, anyone? Add phone calls via WiFi and access to a smorgasbord of HotSpots for another $10? You just have to pay the full cash price for your handset or buy a nice used one (Craigslist is your friend).
