    Actually the reps behavior was more akin to AT$T reps. Verizon reps are cool; they ask you can they help you, you say I'm just looking and they go on about their business. AT$T reps continually harass you even if you clearly aren't interested.

    Don't think they were really poking fun at Verizon reps per say, but it was funny.

    It was clearly bankrolled by Verizon, but a great skit nonetheless. You're Native American? Hah!

    That was hilarious. Now they need to do one about where the "hottest new phone" will never have its OS updated after it's released to market. Fragmentation is a little harder to do, though.

    Not the corporate VZW stores I've been to as a customer. Plus they are the worst box readers. Hello! I know how to read. Tell me something about the phone that's not on the box or store display. At least don't read it verbatim.

    What's also interesting (I thought) that not only did they (SNL) not have to make up anything, but what they were saying actually made sense (to those who basically know/understand all of that), at least as far as I can recall--the truth is fairly funny on its own.

    after seeing that skit I would prob assume vz had the best of the best cell wise if I had never touched a phone before so it's good publicity for them.

    LOL at the box-reader remarks.

    Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, Verizon, AT&T, StapleDepotMax, Micro Center, the Apple Store... it doesn't matter. They all have personnel eager and ready to read stuff off the sides of the box for you. I feel frustrated (and sometimes a little bad for the staff--in the "you poor, poor nice dullard" sense), because invariably, I've already read all six sides of that box, and several others.

    I'm not asking for help reading, I'm asking for help understanding what it means.
