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.

No longer is this attack ad battle between Verizon and AT&T, as Apple has now stepped their foot through the door. With two new ads involving the iPhone and that same unusually perfect hand, Apple points out some of the things that are possible on AT&T’s network. The interesting part about Apple’s ads, though, is that they don’t mention Verizon.

Just a couple days ago, as Verizon responded to AT&T’s lawsuit about their 3G coverage maps, it appeared as if AT&T had nowhere to go. But as you can see in the ad after the jump, AT&T isn’t going to give up on this one. It may be true that Verizon has the most expansive 3G network, but AT&T is now claiming they have the fastest 3G network, allow you to talk and surf at the same time, carry the most popular smartphones, and have over 100,000 apps available.

Verizon is certainly on a roll with their iPhone and AT&T network attack ads, and it doesn’t appear as if even a lawsuit is going to stop them. In a bold move, they’ve published three more ads directly focused on comparing their phones to the iPhone as well as their 3G network to that of AT&T.

First, let me congratulate you on a fairly witty pun-based ad campaign. You’re making a point, and with quite a bit of gumption, given the lack of cool smartphones available on your larger-than-life network. Second, I’ll acknowledge our past relationship; nine good years with excellent coverage and several fairly decent phones. You still insist on sending me flyers trying to lure me back, but I’m just not that into you right now. And here’s why…
