I don’t care for Verizon’s latest round of ads including their “There’s a Map for That” and “iDon’t” commercials. Verizon cannot compete with the iPhone because the iPhone is a phone and they are a carrier. Besides that, the iPhone is a novel product and is far superior to anything else on the market.

While the Android OS is nice, thus far all Android equipped phones are far inferior to Apple’s product. I have T-Mobile’s G1 and while it is nifty, its hardware does not match up to the iPhones. It is slower, it freezes and breaks down, it is clunky and unsexy, the screen is smaller, it maxes out at 2gb flash memory, and it doesn’t have a direct 3mm jack for earbuds.

Dear Verizon, you cannot compete with the iPhone and the iPhone’s consumers will not abandon AT&T for a Blackberry or Android phone. Instead focus on other segments of consumers such as kids, seniors, hispanics, and business users.
