1. its a 1st gen iphone. the 2nd gen(3G) iphone makes this obsolete.
2. im locked into an "iphone data plan" for more than the normal data plan costs.
3. with the money spent on the iphone and continuing money spent on the data plan, it isnt economically intelligent to buy another phone(comparable w/ out another 2year plan, at least $400 or more)
i excuse your ignorance.
The phone is working now. What upset me was the process. For those activating NEW phones, i could see how they need to connect to Itunes. But for the millions like me that already had one and were simply updating, why should we be locked into a process that Apple didn't plan for?
Thankfully I am not in sales or have my phone linked to my microsoft exchange activesync account or anything like that, because then i could lose clients, sales, and be out of touch for an entire workday. To many im sure that was financially harmful, and Apple will have legal repercussions im sure, and deservedly so.
From people involved with AT&T(i work at a tech company now, so its cool to be in the loop about certain stuff). AT&T has been telling Apple for a long time now that they need to ramp up their service and support. Apple didnt think they needed to. The almighty Apply got caught with their pants down today and they will hurt because of it. Don't get me wrong I love my iphone, but these days where connectivity is at times crucial, I will not trust my job, contacts, clients, potential sales, and everything else to a company who was so naive about customer service as Apple was for today.
Research In Motion(Blackberry) will most likely get my business after this contract of mine is up...unless Apple can somehow gain my trust that they will NEVER allow this to happen again. They will ahve to fully disclose why and how this happened and what they plan to do to prevent it in the future. Apple, are you listening? Full disclosure will be your friend on this one. Anyone in business will avoid Apple like the plague for fear of losing their connectivity even for one day, which is a long time in today's workplace.
