Not amusing, informative, accurate, or, frankly, good. I think you’re selling the blog out pretty heavily here, and definitely lost some points with me. Please don’t let these spam posts become a habit.

This is the first “sponsored” anything I’ve seen on DL for quite some time now…

AdBlock FTW!

Who cares if they post an ad as an article.

If you don’t want to click on it you don’t have to.
They are nice enough to tell you it is sponsored right in the title.

It makes money for the writers. Plus it’s an entertaining ad, so why would you be irritated?

no matter what T-Mo has it is not an Apple product. To many that is enough to not even look. Sad but true that technical superiority does not beat with consumer devices.

T-Mo has a rough time ahead but they sure have an amazing phone line.

It’s not failed, it’s called making money to keep up the page.

I remember how Verizon was ragging on the iPhone with its “Droid Does” commercials in late 2009 such as having a removable battery and expandable storage. All that quickly vanished the instant it got the iPhone. Funny how T-Mobile makes these ads but they secretly wish to get the phone themselves on their network so badly!

“unlimited” always looks better in marketing. They just throttle you after you go over, no overages.

We turn down a lot of offers, just FYI, because the last thing we want to do is annoy the community. This one, we thought since it was Android vs. iPhone and a funny video, that it was acceptable.

Also, you will never find those ridiculous pop up ads on our site that every other site seems to use when loaded. You will also never see those embedded text links that pop up with ads every time you hover over them.

We try to keep these things minimal, so that you can skip over them easily.

Definitely taking your feedback into account though.

Next up, $2 convenience fee? Kidding!

…”with unlimited data…and up to 2GB of high-speed data.” huh?
