The Motorola Droid's Verizon-backed advertising campaign in the States has returned to its iPhone bashing roots, after a quick detour to the land of Michael Bay.

With more bon mots than a French dictionary, the punchy ad asks, with no bones about what product it's setting in its sights, "Should a phone be pretty?"

Calling the iPhone "a tiara-wearing, digitally-clueless, beauty pageant queen", the Droid in comparison is described as "racehorse-duct-taped-to-a-scud-missile fast" before the ad finally urges you to "trade hair-do for can-do".

Brilliant fun, especially considering Moto's fashion-led, Beckham-boasting past with the RAZR - it's all just a click away above.
