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."

    Meanwhile, 15 hours of tech support hold time later -- still can't make a call. If your new iPhone wasn't working maybe you shouldn't have used it to call tech support. ;-)

    I am glad the phone won't be available ever in Venezuela.

    Me too. If they ever got popular, Hugo would just nationalize all the Apple Stores.

    I call bullshit. Nintendo never had a widely popular console until the mid 80's and for that matter, the Nintendo 64 wasn't sold until 1996. I can't take you seriously until you get your facts straight.

    This is slashdot and the facts are important, Sir!
