Most of you have probably seen the latest “There’s a Map for that” commercial where Verizon touts their superior 3G network over AT&T’s while at the same time makes a passing shot at the iPhone. Having just recently switched from Verizon to AT&T specifically for said device, I’ll admit that the lack of color on the AT&T map in the picture above send a shiver down my spine.

Well, it seems that AT&T’s spine is shivering too. Engadget is reporting today that AT&T has filed a lawsuit claiming that Verizon is providing false advertising by confusing consumers into thinking that all that white space in their map from the commercial means no service, instead of no 3G service.

Whether or not they have a case, this whole thing has certainly driven home the fact to me that AT&T has a lot of work to do to expand their 3G network and now that I am beholden to it, I wish them the best of luck!
