Verizon might be facing legal action from AT&T over its "There's a Map for That" commercial," but today saw the company launch another commercial, this one for the Motorola DROID, due to launch later this this week.
Verizon's first commercial for the DROID was well liked by most and, while this one reveals less about what the phone can do compared to the last TV spot, it's still a pretty neat advertisement.
Launching this coming Friday, November 6, the DROID features a 3.7", 854x480 touchscreen; a 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash and video capabilities; GPS; WiFi; a full, slide out, QWERTY keyboard; HTML5 support and all the usual Googley bells and whistles like Gmail, Maps and YouTube.
Check out the new ad (and the old) below.

Can't wait.
This ad fails to inspire.
What an uninformative load of weirdness.
but it gets your attention
It gets your attention but like many American Movie adds these days it fails to give you any idea about the product itself.
One cool thing it doesn't mention: The security feature to unlock it (optional-free), is your eye. That's right, hold the phone up to your eye, it scans your eye and unlocks the phone...
I think the marketers are doing a good job of grabbing attention and building intrigue for the phone.
Compared to the status quo of phone commercials, they seem to be doing a comparatively better job at attaining these results.
I guess I'm too easily entertained. I cracked up at the end. Totally worth the 60 seconds.
Verizon is as horrible as Apple
I dont get it.

I hope they won't explode like the Apple iGarbage
