Little Rock, AR | Trained? Really? Whole thing sounds made up. I've never met a Walmart employee who was trained to do anything but look confused. |

I finally broke down and bought one last week after hearing how great it is..
I'm finding out it's more of a love-hate relationship..
I love some of the things it does, but absolutely hate others..

If I was working for minimum wage and no type of benefits and you strolled by asking me for help I'd look at you the same way! A blank stare and thinking to myself WOW he thinks I'm the lowest form of human existence but yet he is asking me for assistance and as you walk away from me thinking I'm the stupidest human on earth I'd look back at you like you're the craziest customer on earth ahahaha

| Nerd snobs is right and they give all of us nerds a really bad rep. Walmart staff are people: some good some not so good, rather like the denizens of DSLreports.

Most of my friends love the gadget portion of the phone. Internet, maps, apps, etc.
But, most say the phone portion is crappy.
I had a Palm Treo for about 4 days. I HATED it. It was too big, too clunky, and didn't do the things I needed, mainly e-mail, well.
I wanted an iPhone when it first came out, but I wanted to stay with Verizon. Now, I think I'll be going with a Crackberry when my contract is up in May. Not necessarily the Storm, but something with push e-mail & a QWERTY keyboard.

A friend has an iPhone and it's pretty nice. What I hate is trying to help them get songs onto it. iTunes has to be one of the worst programs I've encountered (for usability) in a long time.

You are an anomaly in not finding happy iPhone users.
All the studies I've seen have iPhone near the top of the list, soundly beating smartphone competitors like RIM.

I get a much better attitude from Wal*Mart workers than I ever do from support associates in the tech industry with the exception of Megapath. |

The crop of Wal-Mart employees I've seen, mainly in the Southeast, are not afraid to make it plain as can be that they would rather be someplace else...

"You are an anomaly in not finding happy iPhone users.".
It could be that all of the people I know that have iPhones are also co workers...
I don't deny the iPhone is both well liked and popular, I was just citing my personal experience.
I certainly don't doubt your chart, especially the rating on the Palm. I hated that thing.

If you were being paid minimum rage to kiss people's asses, wouldn't YOU want to be somewhere else? |

As I've said before, the iPhone is ONE model of phone, while the other manufacturers have dozens of phones. Sure, Apple can make ONE nice phone, but can they make 10 or 20 really good ones like RIM, LG or Nokia? |

If I had no skills, like most of the folks at Wal-Mart, I might not like it, but I certainly would be glad to have a job. Its not a customers fault that your job sucks, so there is no reason to give a customer attitude if they are being respectful and polite.
