about Nextel "two-way radio" phones, especially. I am, however,
really baffled about some relatively recent adverti***ts for
those phones that make no sense to me.
The television commercial starts out with someone getting off an
airplane, then goes to a split-screen with two scenarios of that
one person - in one, the guy tries to call someone on his cell
phone to get a ride home. No answer. He struggles through the
rain to a taxi, and life gets worse from there for the poor luck-
less guy with an ordinary cell phone.
On the other side of the split screen, the same person has a
Nextel two-way radio phone. The party they "radio" immediately
answers, and rushes out to rescue the weary traveller. Life
is rosy, and all because he had a Nextel and used the two-way
feature.
Huh???
I ask you: Why the heck would someone with a "two-way radio"
phone be any more likely to reach the party they are calling???
Seems like raw BS to me. Or am I missing something? IS there any
advantage to those dumb things at all?
