    Considering they sued Verizon because they think that their customers are too stupid to understand that 3G coverage does not equal coverage, they should switch to using the much less confusing check mark rather than an X. Some people associate an X with something you don't have.

    You know how you can tell that I really liked the movie "Idiocracy?" because I won't mention anything about Luke Wilson being extremely fat now and reminding me of a sock puppet filled with pancake batter.

    Frankly, I think AT&T should stay away from ads that blur the line between them and Apple. It's only going to give Apple more negotiating power in the future.

    Verizon and AT&T are both pretending that AT&T is the iPhone company and Verizon is the "everything else" company.

    I stay with AT&T only because it's the only one that I get good reception with, right smack in the middle of suburban Southern California (I can touch my neighbors door from my door step, kind of)... I'm a little pissed at their pricing though, one day late on the bill and they tack on $40.

    Anyhow, I'm not really a cell phone carrier worshiper and I couldn't give two dongs about who I use, so long as the bill is low and the call is received.

    The commercial was funny though.

    AT&T, this is the best you can come up with? You gave Luke Wilson some refrigerator magnets and probably paid him in hoagies. Verizon has the freakin' Island of Misfit Toys!! You idiots need to do better...

    1.) "Fastest" doesn't mean a dang thing when you can't get on it.

    2.) Your network has nothing to do with whether or not you can "talk and surf at the same time". Any Android user could tell you that. It's all in the phones' software.

    Which is really what this is all about. AT&T's grand total argument for why they're network really, truly, doesn't suck, we promise can be summed up simply: We have the iPhone.

    God help you whenever that exclusivity thing runs out, AT&T.

    @OCEntertainment: your 2nd point is totally wrong- it has nothing to do with the operating system or software and everything to do with the limitations of a CDMA network.

    @juddpwr: Fair enough. I wasn't sure, so I went out and conducted an entirely unscientific test on my G1 by calling someone, then opening up the browser. But I suppose there is a bigger difference between AT&T and Verizon than AT&T and T-Mobile. So, for my error, I apologize.

    That being said, I can think of maybe a handful of situations where "talking and surfing" at the same time are necessary. AT&T's still grasping at straws, and in the end still fell back on the iPhone as the overwhelming reason why their network is good.

    ''A better 3G experience*''

    *Except for 50% of the US where there is no infrastructure, spotty coverage in New York City, frequent downshifts to EDGE, and all other contingencies wherein the experience is worse.

    Really? You can talk on the phone and use the web at the same time, huh?

    (really tiny print at the bottom: Unless you're in San Francisco. In your own house. Or outside of your house. Or most other places, in fact. In which case, you probably won't get either voice OR data. Try rubbing jam on yourself. It won't help you with your dropped calls, but hey - JAM!)
