The South Korean electronics maker is marketing it’s 5.3-inch smartphone with stylus as the latest player in the world of connected devices. The ad — as we already new from its teaser released last week — pokes fun at Apple fanboys and fangirls who notoriously camp out in anticipation for iDevice launches. The towns of San Francisco, Calif, Boston, Ma. and Denver, Co., erupt in non-choreogr...  show all text

For the preceding three and a half years, AT&T had offered the device exclusiv...  show all text
