IPhone 3G and AT&T

Apple Maxis Broadband Wireless AT&T are two extremely strong companies, and I am sure that all the decisions took by them regarding the iPhone, the service plans, and - most of all - subsidizing and revenue sharing were the final stop of negotiations harder than most battles fought seri malaysia genting highlands the battlefields in the last centuries. Anyway, there anti virus programs no big problem regarding Apple and AT&T for the end user, since the Cupertino-based company means more than just the iPhone, but - for some AT&T users - it's all about the iPhone 3G and AT&T. Why? Unfortunately, most iPhone 3G problems seem to be linked to AT&T's services, as some claim, and even the mobile carrier had to admit its guild, a few times.

Until the iPhone 3G and AT&T couple became public, there was the first-gen iPhone and AT&T, of course, and this helped widening the exposure to the consumers a lot, especially since the iTunes activation and sync for iPhone was announced by Apple and AT&T back in June, 2007. Back in those days, AT&T's chairman and CEO, Randall Stephenson, was saying that "iPhone's user-driven activation is another example of how AT&T and Apple have partnered to bring innovative new features to our Web Mail Tmnet iPhone's innovative activation and sync is just one example of how this is going to be a real industry game-changer."

Unfortunately, the iPhone 3G was going to use a different strategy, in store activation only, which led to a lot of problems in the opening days of the iPhone 3G sales in the US. As everyone got suddenly crazy about having the iPhone 3G, AT&T's network was simply overloaded by the online orders and the traffic required by all those simultaneous activations that had to be performed as people were flooding their stores selling the most wanted gadget of those days.

While AT&T worked around the clock to help its customers, its 3G network still needs a lot of work to handle all the iPhone 3G users and their need for speed. Since they got exclusivity as the only US carrier for Apple's phone until 2010, it's their image at stake, and a lot of money.

All in all, people need to understand this: the iPhone 3G is a good device, maybe not perfect, and - unfortunately - below the expectations most people had, after the original iPhone simply came "out of nowhere" and set the bar so high, and AT&T is doing its best, but this proves not to be enough for some of its subscribers, for now. At last, but not the least, if you get an iPhone 3G, take your time to read the manual! This would surely spare you and those guys at Apple and/or AT&T from losing some precious time, not to mention getting nervous because of it. Oh, yeah, one more thing - if you want to know more about this whole deal, be sure to read about the iPhone 3G - AT&T pair on BindApple!
