Rumor — AT&T Losing iPhone Exclusivity Next Week
MojoKid writes "An inside source over at HotHardware reports that AT&T will lose their iPhone exclusivity on 1/27, coincident with Apple's upcoming press event next week, though it's not yet clear what other carriers will be stepping in to pick up the iPhone. For anyone who has followed the saga, you may notice that you haven't seen AT&T fighting to extend their original exclusive agreement as of late. In fact, they have spent most of their time fighting Verizon's negative ad campaigns. This may not be all that surprising. Inside of AT&T, word is that the iPhone is causing more trouble than ever before. On some level, having the iPhone is hurting AT&T's image. Do you remember hearing about AT&T's 'horrible network' before the iPhone? The iPhone itself doesn't really handle the switch from 3G to EDGE very gracefully, so calls that are in-progress tend to fail whenever 3G connections aren't optimal and the phone attempts to step down to EDGE. It seems that AT&T may finally be tired of taking the heat."
It's no different than when I ditched my LG last year as soon as my contract was up.
:-)
I ditched my LG phone before the contract was up. I hated it so much, the financial hit was worth it.
I also have a few other LG appliances (on the surface they appear to be quite good value) including TV and HDD/DVD video recorder, and I have sworn never to buy any LG equipment ever again. LG's software is such a crock of shit, it's more trouble than it's worth, and the hardware is made from dodgy components that make it unreliable as all hell.
The reader can take that as a personal endorsement.
If you can't piece together basic English, I don't trust your opinion on anything else.
