Sacramento, CA | Negative PR With AT&T receiving such a wave of negative PR they need to do something. I think silence at this point will only be more detrimental to the company. With the upgraded prices for current iPhone 3G being $200 more then new and qualified upgrade. I think this price should have been limited to a $100. If and when Apple opens up the iPhone to different carriers in the United States, AT&T will lose millions of subscribers, and is failing on all fronts at this point. AT&T is also failing to creating a loyal customer base, which will hurt their bottom-line in the long run. People that are current iPhone users if the iPhone was available for Sprint tomorrow would you switch? I'm using Sprint as example because most would switch to Verizon because of the better network. I am thinking because of the negative PR, people would choose to switch to a smaller carrier at a cheaper monthly rate. I pre-ordered a new iPhone 3GS with the extra $200 premium. I am also waiting to see how AT&T will respond to the negative PR. I can say that if the iPhone does come out for a different carrier. I'll consider paying the ETF on two phones to switch at this point. |

| They will bend or they will break. Its up to them. They dont really have much of a choice. They can offer everyone a set date of July 19th to upgrade if they wish or they can simply do nothing and in the end lose phone sells and probably being exclusive carrier of the iphone after its all said and done.
Verison or any other company would be happy to take on the iphone at this point and they will allow us the use of the options on the phone to boot.
I seen an article that stated they had a petition of nearly 10k people who signed busting ATTs balls over the upgrade situation.
I have a feeling it wont be long till ATT speaks. |
