Verizon Launches Anti-iPhone Ad for Motorola Droid [Video]

The iPhone will soon see a fresh challenge with the imminent launch of the Motorola Droid, and Verizon is set to market the phone with a series of anti-iPhone attack ads titled “Droid Does“. The first ad rolled out tonight, directly picking on the iPhone’s most commonly-cited shortfalls: lack of flash, no replaceable battery, lack of a tactile keyboard and more. The counter on the DroidDoes site appears to count down to October 30th, according to BGR, meaning the iPhone could have some legitimate competition going into the holiday shopping season.

The Droid features a 5-megapixel camera (with a flash), runs Google Android 2.0, supports multi-tasking, includes both a tactile keyboard and touch screen and (we think) isn’t the ugliest phone in the world either. The marketing campaign, meanwhile, hits Apple at its core: the company’s minimalist philosophy does away with extra features in favor of simplicity.

Could the Droid be the become the poster-child of great Android () phones and a true challenger to the iPhone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
