AT&T Vs. Apple Store At the iPhone Launch

Posted by kdawson on from the doctor-jeckyll-and-mister-who dept.

MBCook tips an article at Gizmodo that begins with a reader's experiences trying to buy an iPhone yesterday at an AT&T store and an Apple store. Many, but not all, of the comments on the post echo this reader's experience: Apple good, AT&T bad. "Day one revealed what all Apple aficionados fear. That AT&T, through the depths of its incompetence, could derail the iPhone."

    It sure as hell makes that person superior to a tool who will buy any over-priced piece of shit with the Apple logo on it, features/bugs be damned!

    "What, we can't have high-speed mobile Internet? Oh, that's okay. We'll just be sure to do most of our browsing at Starbuck's where everyone can see us!"

    "I can't use my iPhone as a modem for my notebook? Oh, well. Why would I buy an iPhone and carry a notebook anyway? My MacBook Pro can just stay at home now!"

    "Thanks for selling me a shiny new iPhone. Hey, what's that stick you're pulling from behind the counter? You're going to shove that up my ass? Gosh, my iPhone experience is already feature-rich!!"
