And people still think that the Verizon iPhone is coming any day now? I’d say ads like this one aren’t going to be helpful in the negotiating room with Steve.
Also, god help them if anyone has any sort of reception issues with this phone. “Hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere” is not exactly smart text . You’re practically daring someone to take that very literally.
