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."

    I was about to sympathize, until I found out

    I got up this morning at 8am, and went to the store when it opened. I was the 42nd through the door, and bought 4 of the remaining 18 4GB phones (the 8GBs were all gone). Everyone behind me in line was told a shipment would arrive "later today sometime" and they could wait. No one got out of line and left. that you were a scalper. Hey, nothing wrong with scalping. Some of you will remember I tried to scalp a PS3. But I didn't ask for sympathy when it went sour and act like I was somehow the victim of an injustice for not being able to go through with the plan.
