Verizon Mass Emails DROID RAZR MAXX HD Ad, Uses Wrong Phone

That is not the DROID RAZR MAXX HD.

Update: Verizon’s Photoshop guru fixed the ad. Thankfully, we got a few good laughs out of it.

Cheers Shane!

  That was the first thing I noticed too… and interestingly enough, the last I heard it was going to be a Tegra 3 game which (correct me if I’m wrong) the MAXX HD is not.

$15.5B last quarter and they don’t even know what they’re trying to sell.

At least its a RAZR. At this point, I’d give them credit for just getting the manufacturer correct.

Did they hire someone from Mobile Bloom?

Why are they sending me this e-mail when I’m not eligible for re-up for another 10 months?

  what’s more annoying is when you log into your account and get the iphone 5 popups, not to mention to the “Buy An iPhone 5″ button that permanently sits on the first page.

Just took a look at that email (I had deleted it since those emails always come out the SAME DAY THAT THE FREAKIN’ PHONE IS RELEASED!)…

..But anyway, how long have they been promoting the “Simultaneous Voice and Data” feature?
- Verizon
  
  Since the iPhone 5 can’t do it.

    Over LTE….. The HD doesn’t even need LTE to do it.

      Thank Qualcomm and their processor-modem combos for it.
- kixofmyg0t
  
  The HD can do simultaneous voice AND data over CDMA 3G, which only a handful of other Android phones can do.

Seems legit.

I am still waiting to be notified that the Galaxy Nexus is available from Verizon

  *Burn!*

    I actually got the email, you had to subscribe to it though to be notified when it released. Surprised they didn’t charge me for the notification.

You cropped out the best part of the picture.

In the lower left, they have both the Razr HD and Razr HD MAXX. The Razr HD is of a white one and is the correct phone, but leaning up against is is the “Razr HD MAXX” which is clearly the first Razr MAXX.

wow. way to have respect for your new flagship…

Has anyone held this device – what’s it like? Need a review please!
Roberto Taylor

Not surprising… sadly enough, nobody but us would know the difference…lol
- KleenDroid
  
  I agree… they know that they could put up a pic of just about any phone…..

  - JustTrollin69

Lulz, then they use the right phone for the white one and then right beside it they use the original black razr

After being consistently being bent over a desk by Verizon, I expect better from them

  Yep. At least dinner and a movie first.

I went to open the email (don’t know why- will never buy one) and it was completely blank.
- http://www.droid-life.com Kellex B
  
  I had to scroll down about 100 lines to see it. Top half was blank, actual email embedded way low.

    It was the same for me
- hfoster52
  
  It was building suspense for us all…..

Fail!

Wow. With the money Verizon makes hand over fist, you’d think they could hire some decent marketing folks.
- http://www.droid-life.com Kellex B
  
  Their email marketing team is clearly not “powering through.”

Looks like Moto fails where no one else fails.

  Uh, this is a Verizon ad, not a Motorola ad. Looks like you fail.

  Verizon mass email. What part of that screams Motorola screwed up? Maybe you should read before posting.
