Damn You AT&T!Why can't you open up a store here and get local numbers in Bend without serious work (like porting a number or something) so that I can get the new iPhone 2.0 that's coming out? That thing is going to kick ass (official Apple site here). Posted by Jake on 06/09/08 @ 12:16 PM

They've got pretty good service in Bend. Nathan said on 06/09/08 @ 07:01 PM: Joshua has a really good point. I have heard rumors that you can buy them directly from an Apple store unlocked, and people say some nasty things about AT&T (all things considered, it is a cell phone company and they all suck). Your link to your previous article is broken btw. Jake said on 06/09/08 @ 10:08 PM: Fixed. Thanks, Nate. Frank said on 06/10/08 @ 04:21 PM: I think ATT will be EDGE for for a bit instead of 3G/HSDPA. The price, enterprise integration and VPN features makes this a compelling work phone. Robin W. said on 06/11/08 @ 09:06 PM: The 3G iPhone has to be activated at time of purchase with AT&T, so it'll cost you a good $475 or so with the early termination fee if you intend to take it to T-Mobile. I've been with T-Mobile for almost 3 years now, and I'm getting really pissed that they just don't keep up with the technology. If it's not too much of a hassle in terms of roaming contracts (all cell companies reserve the right to kick your ass if you roam too much) I'm going to drop my T-Mobile line and get a new iPhone this fall. It's worth the extra $10/mo for such a kick ass device. Robin W. said on 06/11/08 @ 09:07 PM: Also 3G is only available in metro areas -- for Oregon, that's Portland, Salem, Eugene and Roseburg? Medford? something like that. It'll spread eventually. Steve G said on 08/11/08 @ 02:43 PM: Here, here! Not that AT&T is listening or even cares... All of my inquires to AT&T are met with the run-around or with "We're happy to sell you the iPhone... but, you're likely to have it disconnected after 2 months of using 'shared partners' only". If anyone else in Central Oregon is interested in having an iPhone or AT&T here.... please let them know (for whatever good it might do). Ummm ... oh, yeah... Damn you AT&T! Post a comment |
