QOTD: I Feel So…"Valued"

Having been one of the early adopters of the iPhone Gen 1 who paid $600 two months before a $200 price-cut and just pre-ordered my iPhone 3G S after 2 years of using the same phone, allow me to eloquently say the following — nanny, nanny boo-boo. ;-)

Bad press around this “valued customer” nonsense is going to mushroom in coming days. It reminds me of when the “old” AT&T tried to charge a $2.50 convenience fee for paying a bill online. Factor in the awful coverage on the AT&T cellular network — profiled at length in this week’s Ad Age cover story — and Apple has a brand new problem to work with.

My wife is incensed.
She loves her iPhone and has been whining about wanting a new one.
When she saw $500, she went ballistic.
AT&T is managed by retards.

people complaining about ATT iphone rollout amuse me.

all that whining and drama, why bother? ATT is riding the momentum of Apple products, everyone knows it. Most people that hate ATT but love apple have switched, so ATT must be doing something right.

If apple decides to branch out to Verizon and increase their revenue stream, certainly this will impact ATT. But not nearly enough to impact Apple.

if you have switched to ATT/Iphone you either love it and use it, or hate it and lost it.

if you havent switched, why spend the energy to complain? join the masses, or quit you whining.

either way, do something.

Me, Im picking up my preordered Iphone 3GS after work! ;)

cya!
