You're a smarmy little fucker, Denis. I said that in regard to your original post, which accused me of bias because I didn't mention phone calls. I said that you hadn't seen the Droid ad, which doesn't mention phone calls. Then you brought up a separate Verizon ad which has nothing to do with the original argument.
I liked that other Verizon ad. If they argued that at all in the Droid campaign, I'd think it an effective ad. That's what marketing should be. Instead, Droid doesn't mention Verizon at all, and brings up a whole bunch of things that don't matter. The name Verizon isn't mentioned once. So my point still stands.
Now, you come in ready to argue against me, ready to point out a week-old advertisement that's got nothing to do with the argument. When I say your argument has nothing to do with what I said, I make the mistake of saying "Apple and Verizon" rather than "iPhone and Droid", which is what matters here. Now you're nitpicking that choice of language, pointing out that technically I was wrong, ignoring that the argument I was making was and is entirely correct. Now you're being a bit of a cunt because you'd rather win the argument than admit that your counterpoint had nothing to do with the point.
You're doing what the Drone ad is doing. You're pointing out a slight misstep on my part and pushing it forward with negativity, with your "Let's try this again" and "yet you can't bring yourself" smarminess. It doesn't work on Internet arguments either.
If you're going to be an ass, then be an honest ass rather than a snide one.
- DenisM 17y agoNow, now who's being all negative? The point I was about to make is that Verizon went on the offensive against AT&T and Apple by using a two-pronged approach: on one side they attack features of the phone and the other the network. Different parts of the campaign target people who care about different things. For some people customization is really important: the multi-billion industry of ringtones is just one sign of it as there are other venues for customizations as well. For other people (a lot of them) being able to make calls reliably is very important. I'm not clear about 5mp camera, but judging by the fact that the megapixel race has engulfed the consumer digital camera market it has a good chance to lure in a bunch of people. You may not care about some of these things, but many other people do.
