iPhone 4G now available from Sprint, kind of
In the latest advertising campaign for its Sierra Wireless Overdrive 3G/4G WiFi hotspot, Sprint mocks AT&T and pokes fun at iPhone users whose smartphone is limited and whose style is cramped by the slow speeds on AT&T’s 3G network. In the world according to Sprint, the solution is not the next generation iPhone on the nation’s most improved network, but rather the slim and sleek Overdrive which can offer 4G connectivity to all those ailing iPhone handsets. Hit the jump to watch this clever, amusing, and possibly insulting promotional video.
Just imagine how many apples he has wasted trying to do a re-take of that commercial

Lol, their ad to promote 4g is to use it with iPhone. I see it as a complement to the iPhone.

I think people misunderstood your comment. It did compliment the iPhone. While I liked the Verizon commercials attacking ATT, they attacked the phone itself. The phone itself is very nice(I don’t have one, I prefer Android, and don’t like ATT) and capable. Just look what they do with it in the rest of the world out of the hands of ATT. I saw the commercial as a positive ad. They really did not attack ATT 3G, they said the phone was COOL. They just promoted 4G as being faster than 3G, and yet the commercial was pretty cool.
not badddddd………
have to imoproove….

AT&T ….. LOL ……. I LOVE this commercial. Well at least those on AT&T can enjoy some 4G love while they wait for LTE
If this was available on a pay-as-you-go basis (like the MiFi units in the UK) and without a contract, then I would consider it. Otherwise, add-in the patchy availability of this 4G network and it just doesn’t fly.
Does this mean that it’s possible that Sprint could be next in line for the iPhone instead of Verizon? Either way, the coverage has *got* to be better.
Funny, if apples iphone was available for Sprint almost all of you would get it. Plus everyone mocks apple… all the new computers and phones act and look just like apples… funny, isn’t it.
Are we sure this doesn’t use to much battery?
@dom Palm had the first touch screen phone. My Treo 650 was great, there isn’t a whole lot different from that and the Iphone… oh wait…. I had bluetooth on my Treo.
RubexCube,
where have you been? iPhone has Bluetooth. I use it all the time for handsfree phone in my cars and for wireless stereo headphones at the gym.
only resion they didn’t use verizon because verizon faster
Verizon is faster, have you read any reviews lately. Verizon sucks, slowest 3G in most cities, very expensive and you cannot even multi task for all this money … ridiculous …
to those idiots that i bet in 20 years they would still using 3g technology,it is a lot of us in 20 years with 20g. I LOVE YOU SPRINT.
nice ad by Sprint.. its not really insulting or offensive to AT&T at all. Even as an iPhone owner, that actually is a great ad. Hopefully AT&T rolls out its 4G network a little faster after seeing this ad.
This commercial is GREAT! “My friend Steve’s iphone,” (meaning Steve Jobs) and of course the apple at the end. I hope that Apple makes an iphone available for Sprint (best data plans AND 4g), but I guess nobody knows what will happen with that.
i am using it right now. very cool
