Re: God....said by Mike:Market is not reacting. iPhone is king. Or the fact that most of those with newer iPhones cannot afford the ETF and are just waiting until their contract runs out.

Just get over it.All AT&T and Apple are doing is drawing more attention to there issues. AT&T has the really problem. There have an issue with there network. Consumer reports supports that AT&T is not good. T-MO and Verizon have them beat in over 53 markets. | |

Extending exclusivity with AT&T a huge mistakeExtending exclusivity with AT&T would be a huge mistake for Apple. Everyone who is willing to put up with AT&T's half baked network all ready has an iPhone. A lot of those people are sick of crappy service. Three of my friends have iPhones and all of them said it makes a great iPod touch, but a lousy phone.
If Apple decides to stick with AT&T as an exclusive partner, it's only a matter of time before the iPhone is seen more as an innovative product of it's time, and less as the current thing to have.
If Apple sticks with AT&T exclusivity, they loose the tremendous buzz they could generate by making the iPhone available on other carriers. Shit, skip Verizon and offer it just to other GSM carriers if you need to.
People want a choice, and Apple can only suck so many uber fans into the latest whiz bang gadget when that wonderful piece of technology lacks the infrastructure to support it.
It's like buying a cigarette boat when you live 1,000 miles away from the water. What's the point? | |

Re: Extending exclusivity with AT&T a huge mistakeThey wont extend it. But they still have to protect their product for the next 6 months, you can not allow people to jump ship into another vendor until you have the phn with that vendor. | |

It's like buying a cigarette boat when you live 1,000 miles away from the water. What's the point? The point is that there ARE millions of people who DO live near water and will enjoy their cigarette boat. The iphone and att works well for me. I've heard complaints from others in the same area saying that the service sucks (and usually from people who don't even have att) but I don't experience that same poor service. Many iphone users including myself will continue to purchase new ones as they're release. We then sell our old ones on ebay or craigslist and draw in someone new who wanted an iphone but didn't want the contract. This doesn't mean we're stupid or closed minded. It simply means we've found a device we like and enjoy using. Plain and simple. Any comments otherwise are just ignorant. I'm not currently tied to att, but I won't switch to another carrier unless the grass is really greener on the other side. It's gonna take more than more 3g coverage nationwide and a droid to convince me to switch. I notice that there are more anti-att comments on this forum and I really don't blame anyone for them. Get something that works for you and be happy with it. Otherwise, switch. I'm happy with my product/service and have no need to switch. I'm sure many others feel the same, otherwise iphone sales would be declining each summer and not rising. Opinions will say one or two things, but actual market sales will say another. | |

Re: Extending exclusivity with AT&T a huge mistakeNo one called you closed minded or ignorant.
Sure, there are plenty of people the iPhone works just fine for. I had this very discussion concerning the iPhone with a friend and his girlfriend. He loves his iPhone, but he hates AT&T. This is something I hear echoed and echoed over and over again. Great device, crappy service. He would jump in a heartbeat if he could get his iPhone on a different carrier. He's not tech savvy enough to jail break it and the like.
"Any comments otherwise are just ignorant."
It is blanket statements just like these that ARE the height of ignorance in and of themselves.
I'm a fan. A fan of good products, at reasonable prices that offer consumer choice, and good service.
I'm typing this post on a Mac Mini less than 3 months old, with a used MBP within a meter of my location. I love Apple hardware. Awesome products. But I'm not buying an iPhone on AT&T. Too many people have had too many issues.
Recently, I was assigned to spec, bid, order, and configure $10,000 worth of client/server equipment for the Municipality I work for. Sure, I would have LOVED to plunk Macs down as workstations. But the reality is, our software runs in a Windows environment. Plus, as a Municipality we get the State contract price on our gear from a well known supplier of PC equipment (Dell).
They went out of their way to bring us in under budget. I was impressed with what we got for $10K.
We've had the gear a few weeks now. I got everything up and running with help from the folks in the Microsoft forum (thanks guys). I did have some problems Saturday night with an unexpected server shutdown. I called Dell, and they had TWO techs assigned to my issue. A primary, and a secondary to cover when the primary was off. Both contacted me directly to ensure the issue was resolved. To say the least, I was impressed.
I literally love the iPhone, and I have an iPod Touch. My sister has an iPhone 2 GS ( a rip off of the IIGS name, IMHO) but in my position my phone is close to being a mission critical piece of equipment.
In my part of the world (NE corridor) that means having a Verizon cell phone. I know a lot of people will knock this post for saying that, but from DC to Boston, no one can beat Verizon. Period.
If/when the iPhone comes to Verizon, I'll be happy to line up. Until then, oh well. I'll live with my BlackBerry Storm with the 5.0 software.
Apple can't afford to maintain exclusivity with AT&T, the competition is literally nipping at their heels, and it won't be long before AT&T's network hangs around Apple's neck like a GSM anchor.... | |
|
| | | |
Re: Extending exclusivity with AT&T a huge mistakeI live and work in SE PA. I have had nothing but great service from ATT, both for phone calls and the web. I find it funny that you think the Storm is such a great phone. My company gave me one for free and it was such an awful phone I threatened to flush it down the toilet and finally gave it back after two months. I could never hear the party on the other end and they generally had trouble hearing me as well. With the exception of the Pearl, every Blackberry I've used has been a lousy phone. My wife is still on Verizon as we are in the middle of a 5 line migration based on contract expiration dates. She commutes on the Blue Route and the calls drop out on her end all the time. This while traveling the most heavily used commute route in the area. I think it might be a bit early to nominate Verizon for sainthood.
Oh, and how do you deal with all those Blackberry outages with your "mission critical" phone. I get mail on the iPhone via our company exchange server before it even shows up on my desktop email client connected directly to our server over the VPN. During Blackberry's most recent outage (a couple weeks ago) I was still getting mail while my unfortunate co-workers who haven't switched yet were left in the dark.
Lets keep the FanBoy impulses out of the discussion and deal with reality. ATT is not perfect in SE PA, for sure, but neither is Verizon. | |

Apple fans love Apple but won't love a partner if they lie. They love the phone and hate the network. I never got the hype of the iPhone and its outrageous plans and prices at AT&T. Go to Apple's boards and see the hate. Actually, I thought the iPhone worked best jailbroken in the heart of TMobile's network. Of course, at $50 a month, get a jailbroke phone and use Boost. | |

Its only been bloggers and/or self proclaimed industry analysts that have talked about the iPhone "going to Verizon". Neither Verizon or Apple as far as I have seen recently has publicly indicated they wanted to make a deal happen. A CDMA/EVDO version of the iPhone could happen, but so far it has not which in my opinion makes it less likely that it will. All those job postings that have helped fuel the rumors more than likely have to do with LTE rather than a CDMA/EVDO version of the iPhone. | |

It comes down to more of 'is Apple building an iPhone with a CDMA chipset'. They 'could' cheaply reband for AWS and sell on T-Mobile w/o any issue. Putting in another chipset/technology that Apple has never supported may be a bigger issue / cost in the long run, as 9/10 devices globally use GSM/UMTS. | |

Verizon a little hypocritical - attacks Sprint ads» news.yahoo.com/s/ap/2009 ··· xtel_adsThe National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus made the recommendation following a challenge to Sprint's ads by rival Verizon Wireless.
The division said the most recent tests by the researcher Nielsen Co. showed Verizon had fewer calls blocked or dropped than Sprint. Sprint argued that reviewers should look at more than one set of tests to avoid one-time events like weather or bad cell towers.
Sprint, based in Overland Park, Kan., stands by its claims and says it will appeal to the National Advertising Review Board. Makes Verizon look like they aren't for open advertising - but just for THEIR ads. | |
|
| |
Re: Verizon a little hypocritical - attacks Sprint adsThere's nothing hypocritical when they have a test done by Nielsen of all people to back them up. Nielsen's bread and butter is their credibility. Sprint is saying Nielsen's test is flawed, why don't they back it up with another test by another organization with the credibility that Nielsen has. | |

I'm not saying they're worse than AT&T, with AT&T a lot oof people can't even make phone calls in buildings. But on web browsing speed, at least in my area, no one should be putting down the other's network. They're all slow as it is. | |

Re: tired of attsaid by itguy05:You won't get close to those speeds with Verizon either..... Around S. Central PA AT&T is the one to beat. Trust me, I have both.... Head north of Harrisburg, and your song will change. Trust me, Verizon has AT&T beat handily across most of the state. There is no 3G anywhere near me, and the EDGE speeds are HORRIBLE. I am lucky to have any data at all in the town I work, and pings are pushing 8 seconds or more at times. Their EDGE network is badly overloaded. I was looking forward to Driod, but I don't think Android is quite there yet. Once I see a purtty droid device, I am ditching AT&T. I have never had such horrible phone service. I'll be driving to Michigan (again) for work, and there is almost no 3G anywhere along the ride on I-80. They don't even have 3G in the area between Toledo and Detroit! I'd really like to know when AT&T plans to fix these issues? Please tell me they have a plan? | |

I've seen Luke way too many times since Sunday. The commercial is annoying and not very informative (aside from a wallet that may exist somewhere near Tempe AZ.)
I've got no problem with advertising to bring in new customers, but ATT's lame attempt is doing nothing but costing them (and eventually us) money.
Take 70% of your ad fund and put it where is counts...into the network. | |

Re: And who paysThis is my feeling quit paying for ads and lawyers but the money into your network. I use Edge on my computer in some areas that you can't always see a houseand I get 250k most of the time. Friends are telling me the big tower companies are placing fiber more fiber to their towers so every vendor on the tower gets fiber feed what their equipment does over the fiber will depend on the end equipment. So it is Location Location Location and the maps can change quickly or not. It is just like the laptop you buy it is old within 6 months compared with what is coming out new. | |

AT&T & VerizonI carry an iPhone (AT&T) for my personal calls and a Blackberry (Verizon) for work, and so I am a walking/talking cell phone review.
At places with high concentrations of people (like a college football game), AT&T needs to stop worrying about talking and browsing simultaneously and worry about getting a damn phone call in or out. It is truly unbelievable. And it's not just me. You listen to people around you tailgating complaining that they can't make/receive calls or text messages.
This has happened so many times I can't enumerate. The signal is always 3G with "full bars" but voice/data/text is completely inoperable.
I have never once had capacity issues such as these with Verizon. In some places, the signal might not be as strong or the data might not be blazing fast, but if I need 911 or to get in touch with someone in a hurry, my Verizon phone will be the one I use. | |

In my area TMo has the best coverage and speed. My friend just came home from Iraq and I recommended VZW and the Droid because she is going to travel to FL, PA, HI, and DC alot. For her VZW might not be the best in my area but it's the best overall in all of those areas.

How many hours have people debated this subjectI cannot believe that peope have spent so much time and energy debating this and everything else about the iPhone. Bottom line is "location ...location ...location"!
AT&T works great in some areas and not others. The same can be said for VZW or TMO or Sprint.
The same with phones - some prefer the iPhone, others the Droid, others the Blackberry and yet others the Pre or many other "smartphones" available on the market. Each has its pluses and minuses - wake up people, the perfect phone has not been invented as yet!
I look at this website for news and debates on a variety of subjects related to broadband. Recently, it has become a iPhone/AT&T bashing forum. Maybe Karl has run out of ideas but at the rate this is going, this site provides me no valuable info other than countless users ranting on and on. | |

It's because there are A LOT of unhappy AT&T customers. Verizon simply doesn't have nearly as many problems with its network as AT&T does. | |
