Nokia JBL PowerUp Wireless Speaker featured in HTC Android Verizon ad

The Nokia JBL PowerUp Wireless Speaker, an accessory that's marketed by the company for its Lumia range of Windows Phones (see our unboxing first impressions), has made an appearance in a Verizon commercial. The advertisement is for the HTC Droid DNA Android smartphone, which sports wireless charging, NFC and Bluetooth for similar functionality to Windows Phone when used with the wireless speaker.

We're all for Nokia branded hardware being used in competitor advertisements as it definitely gets word out. For anyone looking at the speaker as an upcoming purchase, one will be hit with the fact it's an accessory for Windows Phones. The JBL PowerUp Wireless Speaker can interact with hardware that sports NFC, Bluetooth and Qi wireless charging - making it a definite investment for music lovers who enjoy banging out tunes around the house.
