In a bold new advertisement from Verizon, the company procedes to call the iPhone a “princess” and “digitally clueless beauty pageant queen,” while stating that their Droid is a “robot” that “rips through the web like a circular saw through a banana.” While the analogies may be clever, I don’t think Verizon is attacking the right points in this advertisement.

The day of the Droid came and left with relatively little press coverage compared to what we’ve seen from the iPhone in previous launches. However, that isn’t to say the Droid isn’t receiving its fair share of publicity, and for good reason. While I haven’t personally gotten my hands on one of these devices, I’ve heard many great things not only about Android 2.0 and the hardware, but about Verizon’s great coverage as well. With a large touch screen and nice camera, it’s not really a surprise that small lines formed by customers waiting to get their hands on one of these.
