Verizon ads label iPhone a "misfit toy"
Electronista | The Macintosh News Network —
Verizon this weekend stepped up the pressure in its anti-AT campaign with three new ads (viewable below). The lead ad, "Misfit Toys," attacks the iPhone's attachment to AT and says it belongs on Rudolph 's Island of Misfit Toys for running on a network with relatively low 3G coverage. Unlike the recent Droid ads, the new commercials take care to praise the phone but attack the network, suggesting Verizon is backing away from direct criticism of Apple. The other two ads, "Blue Christmas" and "Elves," are less direct but still show logoless iPhones 'ruining' Christmas through their inability to get a good signal. All three spots ...
Verizon Wireless Launches Three More Anti-AT&T 3G Network Commercials [Verizon Wireless]
Gizmodo —
Today Verizon responded to AT&T;'s "There's a Map For That" commercials lawsuit by releasing a slew of new commercials with similar themes and messaging. The battle continues, this time on the infamous Island of Misfit Toys. The first commercial, which I saw air for the first time during the New England Patriots game this afternoon, is called Verizon Blue Christmas (above). As Elvis croons, a man depressingly makes his way home with no cell coverage. He's utterly sad until he sees that a wrapped, red present might just contain the phone he's really looking for. The second commercial, ...

Verizon Attacks iPhone and AT&T… with Toys, Elves, and Xmas Blues?!
The iPhone Blog —
We have to admit, Verizon’s latest, Xmas-themed iPhone and AT&T attack ads bring the funny. Continuing the savvy “map for that” (rather than silly DroidDoes), the first shows the land of misfit toys where an iPhone-looking device is condemned for its poor AT&T 3G coverage.
After the break, we have elves giving Verizon devices, with robust 3G coverage, to nice children and an iPhone with poor AT&T coverage to the naughty. And, lastly, a father has a blue Xmas when his iPhone can’t reach his family (though a Verizon present awaits him ...
The Hits Just Keep on Coming, More Verizon Map Commercials
Maximum PC all RSS Feed —
Despite AT&T’s lawsuit against Verizon, more commercials go live bashing AT&T’s coverage. They aired three new commercials this weekend featuring the allegedly dismal 3G coverage of AT&T’s service. The new Verizon commercials are holiday focused, featuring Santa’s elves and the iPhone that got sent to the Island of Misfit Toys.
AT&T is suing Verizon in the state of New York for misrepresenting its 3G network in the “There’s a map for that” commercials that debuted a month ago. Their claims are basically that the colors of the maps (red or blue with a light gray background) confuse the customer ...
Verizon Wireless Relegates iPhone To Island Of Misfit Toys [3G]
Consumerist —
As a whimsical follow-up to AT&T;'s lawsuit concerning their "There's a map for that" ads, Verizon Wireless released their Christmas-themed set of AT&T;/iPhone bashing ads today. They're harsh, but also pretty funny. Poor iPhone. According to Verison, its 3G coverage means that it has no place in this world except the island of misfit toys. Other commercials declare that AT&T; users will experience a blue Christmas, and that only the naughty will receive AT&T; phones as holiday gifts. Ha ha! Sigh.

Verizon Holiday Ads Mock AT&T and the iPhone [VIDEOS]
Mashable! —
If the iPhone is indeed coming to Verizon in 2010, as rumors suggest, is it odd that the network’s latest attack ads on AT&T put the iPhone front and center?
The new holiday ads from the company tackle AT&T’s (lack of) 3G coverage yet again, in a theme similar to the “there’s a map for that” campaign. It’s possible, however, that Verizon is attacking AT&T rather than the phone itself, essentially saying: nice phone, shame about the coverage.
Nonetheless, the ads are a slap in the face to AT&T, which just filed a lawsuit over the ...

New Verizon Ads Hint At Verizon iPhone? Topic: Mobile Phones Posted on Sun, 8 Nov 2009 16:27:32 CST | by Robert Evans Christmas is coming up, and Verizon's launched a whole new bevy of ads in order to push their new smartphone line-up this holiday season. If you haven't already seen it on television, you can check out any of the ads on Verizon's YouTube stream. Most of the ads are your normal fare, but one of them has got me thinking. The ad is set in the isle of misfit toys, and features the iPhone as a newcomer to the island. The interesting thing about this is that Verizon isn't attacking the iPhone itself in this ad. In ...
New Verizon ad calls iPhone 'misfit toy'
Technically Incorrect —
Verizon has decided to take the spirit of Christmas and shove it into the part of iPhone users' chimneys where Santa would need a pick ax. Some who viewed the first Droid teaser ad , just a couple of weeks ago, were stunned to see Verizon so baldly declare that the Apple uber-machine was, in some ways, deficient. Rumor had it that this was an isolated attempt at leveraging publicity for the new Motorola device. However, this new ad shows that the iPhone is firmly on Verizon's list. And it's not Verizon's Christmas list. The ad places the iPhone on the mythical Island of Misfit Toys. It's an island inhabited solely by those things ...

By Brian Garner Published: 09:25 PM EST Verizon has released three ads which continue to highlight the disparity between its 3G network coverage and AT 's. The ads, titled "Naughty Nice," Misfit Toys," and "Blue Christmas" prominently feature the coverage maps first introduced in the "There's a Map for That" commercial .

Verizon Takes More Shots at AT&T and the iPhone

Last week AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon because of its latest “coverage map” advertising campaign. Clearly they were upset with the way Verizon was depicting their coverage areas and they wanted to put an end to it. So what did Verizon do about this? They came back with three new holiday themed ads and each feature the weak AT&T coverage map in them.
The first one titled “Misfit Toys” is the most intriguing because it includes the iPhone, well not a real iPhone just a cheap replica. In it the iPhone is sent the land of misfit toys because it doesn’t work properly. ...

Verizon “Misfit Island” Ad Attacks iPhone By Attacking AT&T 3G Network
The Inquisitr » Technology —
I have to admit I’m loving that Verizon is finally stepping up and taking on the iPhone attachment to AT&T and what they call their lousy 3G nationwide coverage. Their commercial, released this week, shows the phone on Rudolph’s Island for Misfit Toys where it’s left because of bad 3G connections and its associate with AT&T.
Honesty, AT&T covers just about every major and even small city in the U.S., it’s just that Verizon covers the backwoods of Kentucky just as well as the big cities of Chicago and Santa Monica, which gives Verizon some nice bragging rights.
