Caught this article from ZDNet in my RSS this morning.  I’m pretty sure everyone has seen the Verizon “There’s a Map For That…” ad.  For those that don’t know, shortly after that ad was released AT&T sued Verizon over it stating that it was misleading and wanted the court to make Verizon pull the ad.

According to the ZDNet article Verizon pretty much responded with a,”Q.Q U MAD?!?!?”  Not really, but you get the point.  No matter how you look at it, the Verizon ads are 100% truthful.  Also, the ad clearly states that this is a 3G coverage comparison and does not mention regular cellular coverage at all.  From a legal standpoint (or at least what I know of legality of these matters) there is no reason why the court should order Verizon to pull this ad.  Verizon told the truth, and for AT&T the truth hurts.

I can also confirm the better coverage myself as I have just switched from AT&T to Verizon in order to obtain the Motorola Droid.  While the cellular coverage in my area is only a bit better, I have noticed a major increase in speed and coverage over my data connection.  My web apps fly, and my web browsing is MUCH faster than when I was on AT&T.  It appears AT&T should have spent more on improving and expanding their infrastructure rather than subsidizing iPhones….
