Not that I don't like the European version, but for the US, Verizon has done a great job.

To me, it looks like Engadget is a bit uncomfortable seeing their favorite toy belittled and played off the park.

Yeah, but in Europe you don't get the Michael Bay budget from the carrier to fight another carrier (like in the US, where using a certain phone means using a certain carrier).
You can use the Milestone on any carrier you want, so the money for the commercial comes only from Motorola.]]>Dec 10th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/
Also, I don't think the carriers over at Europe have to worry about kicking sand in each others faces, since exclusivity isn't a problem over there. You can get the iPhone on any carrier you wish, and find any unlocked phone you're looking for; cell phone opportunities are pretty vast.]]>Dec 10th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/Dec 10th 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/Dec 10th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/Dec 10th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/

And I think there will be a time when an ad like this will be running on CNBC to sell to the business people who need a real phone that can do stuff besides play games and music, but don't want a BlackBerry, but not until the Droid gets more mind share as the new, hip, must-have phone. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/motorola-milestones-ad-campaign-less-likely-to-leave-you-in-a-b/Dec 10th 2009 3:35PM
