Great; Yes customers we know we could have had all this ready to go by the time iPhone 3G S was to launch but we got lazy. Yes customers we are now doing this late and we dont have a hard date for the tethering but its coming.
OOohh and yes customers you will need to pay our high fee's for using our lousy service.
Much like there service UNRELIABLE.... 🙄

I dont know why Apple still stays with them? if it wasnt for Apple AT&T would be outta business 😈
Im waiting until AT&T can get there crap together....

I'm not sure about where you are, but I haven't had issues in a long time with service on AT&T (I don't have an iPhone).

AT&T is doing this because
a) They want to keep as many customers in contract as possible, paying that data premium for an iPhone
b) Keep customers while they can, some other carrier/vendor will have something out eventually (Pre/G1/Storm didn't cut it)

yea i really havent had a service issue at all with at&t and the iphone is like 99% of its business but u forget that at&t owns the international completley so even if it didnt have iphone it would still be going strong

Im in the Phoenix AZ area and have had the iPhone 1st Gen since they came out with it and upgraded to the iPHone 3G the problem is there signal strength with the iPHone is really bad. They Blame apple and apple has nothing to do with coverage.
True they (AT&T) knows what its gonna take to keep there customers. Rather than upgrading customers who have iPhones across the board they know what it's gonna take.
They knew this was coming and they didnt get prepared like the last time. 😲

Let me get this, people bought a new iphone last year, usually AT&T gives an 18 or 22 month upgrade, now its a year, or even less, and people are bitching they can't get a subsidized new one?

Now, I bought a Blackberry Bold last November, if Blackberry comes out with new neater device this summer, does this mean I get a subsidized upgrade too?? Or someone who bought a Fuze this past fall/winter, would they be eligible for an upgrade to the Touch Pro 2 when it comes out in several months?

Honestly I don't understand this complaint? Its nice they are giving in. But why should iPhone upgrades be any different then devices I mentioned above? The cost per plan and phones are either the same, or about the same.
