Seeing how AT&T is basically complaining because of something Verizon DIDN'T say, I'm glad to see AT&T stepping up on their own behalf. Here's my issue with ALL wireless advertising in the US: It's OK to make all of the positive claim…

If Apple could negotiate a fairly sweet deal with Verizon, I don't see why they wouldn't produce a CDMA iPhone in order to sell more phones in the US. At some point, almost everyone who is willing to switch to AT&T in order to get the iPhone wi…

The word "coverage" as it relates to telecommunications refers to geography, not population. Even AT&T's "Coverage Viewer" on their own website only shows geographic coverage, not population coverage. So how is it misleading because Verizo…

I don't see the point of comparing the first weekend sales of a new, 1st generation phone with an established, 3rd generation phone (with worldwide release). Besides, these numbers are estimates that are based on unofficial inventories at Verizon…

I'm sorry, but to call shenanigans on Verizon because the AT&T 2.5G ideal speeds "approach" the Verizon 3G typical speeds is ridiculous. Speaking of "technically accurate but grossly misleading", AT&T has no issue singling out 3G when the…
