Motorola buys Full-Page Slam Ad against Apple

Motorola managed to avoid inclusion in the low-reception lineup highlighted during Jobs' presentation. Nevertheless, the handset maker has taken full advantage of Apple's "death grip" antenna woes with a full page ad for the new Droid X in The New York Times Wednesday featuring the tag line "No Jacket Required" in large type.

The copy beneath an enlarged image of the Droid X reads, "At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn't have to dress up their phone for it work properly. That's why the Droid X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone anyway you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket."

These digs are pretty low, almost childish. It still doesn't change the fact that the Droid X has its own antenna issue.
