Boy, AT&T sure isn't taking Verizon's Map for That campaign too well. After losing a request for an injunction (for now), the company seems to have decided that the only thing to do in the short term is to start advertising right back at Verizon. Unfortunately, it looks like AT&T threw this one together in a hurry, grabbing a bucket of magnets and a board and sticking them into some abandoned warehouse with Luke Wilson and some Apple-ad-style music. Luke didn't even have time to shave! As for the claims made by Luke's magnetic board, it's hard to take issue with them since they don't really say lot. So AT&T's present and accounted for in this newly minted ad war, but Verizon clearly still has the upper hand... though this is clearly just the beginning.-

Sure. AT&T might be fast, but that's not what Verizon claims. They claim to have the Largest. As in More Coverage Area. Where I live AT&T Coverage is nonexistent. M ost popular smart phones? They mean Phone as in iPhone. Apps? Again - iPhone. This isn't an argument its wordplay and suggestion.

I like it. They may offer the fastest possible, but its the attainable the counts. Smartphones can be unlocked to any network so that question is void, it seems this is all about the iPhone and its capabilities that are exclusive to them... so really... its bias.
