Verizon’s Motorola DROID ads were feisty proclamations of the Android phone’s superiority over “arrogant” little devices from other carriers. The TV commercials were obviously aimed at the iPhone and its bag full of compromises. That might fly in the US, but in Europe, the MILESTONE (European version of the DROID) is taking a decidedly less controversial tack on advertising. The ad you see here soothingly informs the watcher of what the MILESTONE can do .
What gives? Are Americans really that much more receptive to controversy and explosive (literally) ads? Yes, we are.
