OK...somewhere else around the ER forum I stated that I don't have, want, or need a 'phone' that does all this cr*p. But after reading through this thread, and exploring iPhones and Droids, and related apps on the 'net....I decided what the heck, I'll go check 'em out.
Using the AT&T website, I found their local stores and headed out...'in search of'....
Went to the official "AT&T AUTHORIZED RETAILER" here in town....AT&T's website says that iPhone is available there....LIE!!! The CS folks were very nice, polite, and congenial! I told them that I was interested in an iPhone.....he says
"Yes...we are too! And hopefully someday we'll have them here, but we're not a 'company' store, so we don't get to carry them." I told him what I read on the AT&T website, and he said only the 'company stores' have them.
So I headed to the next town over, to the AT&T "company store". Yes, they have them! But the place was packed! Minimum 30 minute wait! Sorry...I don't stand in lines for cr*p I don't
need. So I left and went to the coffee shop...no lines...no crowds!
2 strikes and
they're out! I'll stick with my Motorala flip-phone from Tracfone! (and I already have an iPod) Besides...this way I'm saving a passel of money that I can waste on something I really
do want....if I ever decide that I actually want something!
