AT&T denied injunction against Verizon; launches its own attack ads
Earlier today in Atlanta, Judge Timothy Batten, Sr. ruled against AT&T in its hunt for an injunction against Verizon’s “There’s A Map for That” ad campaign. While AT&T argued that the maps in the commercial were grossly misleading, Judge Batten felt that although”sneaky”, the fact that the ads could be “misunderstand” by the layperson doesn’t mean that they were “misleading.” The case isn’t completely closed, however, as AT&T has been granted a hearing on December 16th in which it’s lawyers will argue for the judgement to be repealed. In the meantime, AT&T has launched a rather feisty ad campaign of its own called “The Truth About 3G”. The ad campaign kicked off tonight with a TV spot starring Luke Wilson who espouses the advantages offered by AT&T: speed, the best smartphone selection, simultaneous voice and data and the over 100,000 applications. We have the first ad waiting for you after the jump, but first we have to ask — does anyone have any non-flaming thoughts on this matter?
Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

ARPU has nothing to do with customer retention. Throw out another useless fact, please.
And as far as iPhone users waiting for the droid to come out.BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! I played with my cousin’s droid for 5 minutes and wanted to shoot myself in the head. You may be able to do 8 apps at a time…yeah while you drain your battery in an hour (I could care less about running multiple apps at the same time). And what’s the point in putting a 16 gb memory card in your phone if all the apps save on the phone’s memory anyways (which is only 256mb) FAIL!!!!
Why don’t you save your iPhone fanboy manlove for a blog that enjoys it? I’d suggest Gizmodo. They seem to love to suck the cock of Apple.
HAHAHAHAH Icantphone sucks major asssss it drains so so so fasttttttttt
You all should just agree to disagree since all US Carriers are years behind in mobile technology.
Please take a trip to Japan or for better comparison (GSM, CDMA) just look at China/Taiwan. This Verizon vs AT&T bs is like watching your 103 year old grand parents racing down the block.

@PIMPIN
and you have very CLEARLY proved my point. end of story
All I have to say is if AT&T loses the iphone they are done. That is the only reason they even have customers in the first place. Everyone went over there because of the iphone.
