Is this commercial persuasive enough to make you think about T-Mobile? Or does a good phone outweigh a bad network?

  1. If i wasn't already a T-Mobile customer it would seriously make me think about changing my provider. I think that there has to be a balance between your service and phone. I've heard alot of I-phone users complain about the service from at&t which sucks because it makes a good product sound unreliable but really it's the provider and they dont switch because nobody else provides I-phones. I don't think people should have to settle for crappy service because they like the phone and thats one thing i really like about Android phones not only do they have all the features of an I-phone but there also sold almost everywhere.

  2. No it is not. Their one selling point it how you can face chat from anywhere but where else would you even want to face chat. I only do it at home on my iPhone 4 and never have I once been somewhere and wished I could have faced chat. Face chat is not practical for on the go type communication. Plus that is one thing it has above the iPhone. If they have more they should have shared them.

  3. First the commercial is completely unoriginal...this looks to be a direct copy off of Apple. T-Mobile is dwarfed not only by AT&T but Verizon as well. It in no way makes me want to switch my provider. The fact is every company comes out with phones to rival the iPhone and there hasn't been one yet that functions as well (reception aside)

    But overall with as big a company as T-Mobile is it bothered me that they didn't have an original commercial just seemed really lazy

  4. This commercial didn't do it for me. I don't really like my service provider right now and have considered switching to someone else but this commerical didn't make me want to switch to T-Mobile. I'm on the go a lot of the time and I'm positive that I'm not the only one. These new touch screen phones and stuff just aren't practical. At least not for me. I'm too busy to use one. I'm okay with just being able to do the basics on my cell phone. I think the ad needed to throw in some extra flash to grab a hold on potential new customers.

  5. Um, the commercial was sort of interesting, given the discussion about political ads currently being so negatively based. The ad spends more time talking about how the other phone is bad and really only concentrates on one aspect of the phone. I think it is more important to have a good phone, but the iphone hater movement has really gotten old. Smartphones are good at what they do pretty regardless of the carrier. Get one that has good service in your area.

  6. No this commercial was kind of weak for me. They couldn't even come up with something on their own as they had to copy the infamous "PC/Mac" commercial format.

  7. Yeah this commercial doesnt say enough to me to make me even think about walking into a t-mobile store let alone change my service. I'm not a big fan of video chat or any other 1 function that a certain phone does. This commercail only pointed out 1 function that different from the I-Phone 4. Not enough information about the phone to make a major decision. I'd rather have a good network instead of a good phone. Good signal fast downloads quick searches are more important than a fancy looking phone that takes forever to get anything done.
