Is the iPhone a Misfit Toy?

Posted by

AllThingsD posted Verizon‘s 3 new Christmas-themed commercials bashing Apple’s iPhone, simply because of it’s reliance on AT&T‘s network.  AT&T is the only reason why I am currently iPhoneless. 

Calling it a “misfit toy” was a clever touch:

I never ask anyone for anything, but there is one product I’m yearning for and upon its release, I’ll be first in line: The Verizon iPhone.

Verizon has a monopoly on my life, powering my cellphone, home phone, television, remote internet access on my laptop, home wifi, toaster oven etc.  You know what?  I’m ok with that, because 99% of the time, everything works exactly like it should.
