Sprint Kicks Off EVO 4G’s TV Marketing Campaign With A Massive Rube Goldberg Machine

Posted by in Carriers, Devices By Manufacturer, EVO 4G (Supersonic), HTC, Sprint, Videos

Not a ton to say on this, but I think it’s cool none the less. Google’s pretty much left it up to the carriers and device manufacturers to really promote Android so I’m excited every time it’s done right.

So far Verizon has done an exceptional job with their Droid campaign, and while this Sprint commercial isn’t exactly of that caliber, it’s definitely one of the better that we’ve seen (hit ‘Read On’ to see the video):

Unfortunately the commercial plays more towards the merits of Sprint’s 4G network and not Android itself, but I’m sure we’ll see both features share the spotlight as Sprint ramps up the campaign in the coming months.

Less Droid, More Iron Man – Tony Stark Confirms The LG Ally For Verizon

Posted by in Ally (Aloha), Carriers, LG, News, Verizon Wireless

You have to hand it to Verizon’s marketing department – out of all of the carriers pushing Android, their ads have been the most compelling.

Verizon continues their Android advertising legacy with a departure from the ‘Droid Does’ campaign in order to use the Iron Man 2 release to pimp their latest Android phone – the LG Ally. What’s that? You haven’t heard of the Ally? What about the LG Aloha? Or, its considerably less glamorous name LG LU2300. Still nothing?

OK, forget names, let’s talk specs. You like the Snapdragon processor, right? Well, what if I told you that the Ally not only packs a 1GHz Snapdragon, but a qwerty keyboard as well?

Sprint Goes After AT&T And Apple In A Snarky 4G Sprint Overdrive Mobile Hotspot Vs iPhone Commercial

Posted by in AT&T, News, Sprint, Videos

Sprint has fired a shot at both AT&T and Apple in this recently released Sprint Overdrive 4G vs iPhone commercial, suggesting that an iPhone's bandwidth can be vastly improved by using a Sprint 4G WiMax router called Sprint Overdrive instead of the AT&T 3G network.

The ad is a bit cheesy but hey, it delivers the message. A carefree Matt actually goes on to eat an Apple (the ultimate pun) while showing off his 4G mobile hotspot that allows up to 5 people around him to connect to a 4G network using WiFi. Oh yeah, and his friend's name? You guessed it - Steve.
