Stupid Android Commercials…
It’s important that you understand that I love Android. I really do. My Android phone, even with the problems with this particular model, is the greatest thing I have ever owned. Plus there are so many models at different price points that it doesn’t matter if you’re a bank president or in the motor home repair business, you can afford one.
I mean, it was naturally going to happen that I would fall in love with Android considering how much Apple-hating I do on a pretty regular basis. But I really love the Android OS.
With that said, I hate the commercials Android manufacturers put out. Why? Because they never actually try to SELL THE PHONE. The commercials are always some kind of crazy espionage film. For example, one recently showed a truck driving and a guy shooting and a box falling off a truck and this whole long, convoluted plot just to get the phone out of a box. Ugh.
SELL THE PHONE! Another commercial featured the phone being spun repeatedly on tiny metal fingers. Another has a Sprint store with Christmas trees and decorations made out of Android devices. SELL THE PHONE. Go watch a flippin’ Apple commercial. They’re about the people using the technology to interact with each other, not shooting the phone out of a tree to capture it from the Russians or something. Geez.

I agree about the commercials. They did not do anything to sell me the phone. Recommendations from you and other Android owners (plus the fact that it was half-price on Cyber Monday) are what sold me. I’m very happy with it; thanks for the recommendation!
