Verizon attacks squarely at AT&T's biggest weakspot, of course its insulting. That's the whole point.]]>Nov 12th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/Nov 12th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/Nov 12th 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/Nov 12th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/
You mean like how Apple claimed the iPhone was the only device that could use Shazaam, an app that was freely available in the android marketplace?]]>Nov 12th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/
But I refer you to "Hi, I'm a Mac" commercial.

You see what happens. When someone is being beaten by others (even though Verizon is still the number one cell provider) they tend to sling mud.

Only difference is Verizon is stating pure facts when they do it.
Apple tends to try and mislead people with double edged swords

i.e. "Mac has no viruses...Windows do"

Reason: The WORLD used Windows...so of course they'll attack that OS. When you're the main thing...people will find ways to hack.

See how Apple doesn't include that little bit.

Wait...where is Microsoft to sue Apple for misleading advertisment!]]>Nov 12th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/Nov 12th 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/atandt-adds-verizons-island-of-misfit-toys-holiday-ads-to-lawsuit/

Nokia actually MADE more money. But when you take profit...you have to invest money into R&D, manufacturing, etc...etc.

Nokia has more to pay, Apple pays less (since most of their tech is in house).
So therefore Apple has higher profits.

People tend to forget that EVDO Rev A is not much faster than EDGE in typical use (low end). And that Att's 3G is far faster than EVDO Rev A. Assuming theoretical maximum speed EVDO trounces EDGE, but in real world speed tests EVDO is not that much faster on the low end.Certainly EVDO is a lot faster on the high end, but Verizon's map does not differentiate between different levels of EVDO. In fact, in some areas on Verizon's map EVDO coverage is equal to EDGE in real world speed. Also, Verizon


I know the following graph comes from a questionable/bias source but I can't dispute the facts presented. Maybe someone else can?

Now if Verizon was advertising Att's truly horrid service in New York and other parts of the country with regard to dropped calls, then I think Att would have no case. Hell, they might have no case as it stands now...time will tell.
