So I'm here watching football, and I'm curious as to why Verizon and AT&T have all these 3g commercials. I've never taken the time to look into the 3g network, I don't use smart phones because I drop my phone way to often and haven't found a phone that wont break that gives me all of these options. So when I watched all of these commercials I was curious as to who really was telling the truth, and who really has the best 3g options.
During one of the commercials, AT&T used Luke Wilson to advertise, well he got a call from his friend who was on a TV show and it sounded like he were on who wants to be a millionaire. Well he asked a question and Luke used his phone to search the answer. My issue is how often does that really happen, I don't really need to be on the phone and look up things. If I wanted to do that why be on the phone? Because I'm not really listening to who ever I'm on the phone with.
Now on the other side, Verizon has commercials with "Maps" how 3g is everywhere in America. And they make it very clear that their 3g coverage is much better, I was looking at websites and this one caught my eye. its quite entertaining http://flowingdata.com/2009/11/24/verizon-vs-att-battle-of-the-coverage-maps/. I like the part where AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon for showing that their coverage didn't work in parts of the area, they claimed that Verizon was trying to hurt their image and that they have regular coverage in those areas just not 3g coverage.
