Today AT&T announced that it has completed a redesign of all company-owned stores across the U.S. The biggest change that will affect customers is that now all cell phones will be displayed in cases with power, which means customers can test working models of the phones side by side to see how they work and test out the phones' features. AT&T said it is also rolling out the availability of netbooks from AT&T across the entire country after what it calls two successful trials in Philadelphia and Atlanta. AT&T will offer netbooks for a low price with new two-year data agreements. AT&T has more than 2,200 stores across the U.S.

Great!

Since I'm a small indirect dealer of all carriers I'm glad they are doing this. I can't afford working models so I tell my customers to check them out at the corporate stores then come by here where I won't make them pay twice as much and I won't make them send in rebates. Works every time..
As a fellow small indirect dealer, at&t should allow you $0 demo lines to display live working phones, if you have a live bar.

Seems risky to send off a potential customer to a COR store, to "try" live phones.

Are you giving them instant rebates...

I think that's a good idea (even though I'm with another carrier). There are two AT&T locations within my neighborhood and everytime I go in to check out the smartphones they don't work. I'm always told to go to a "corporate" store instead to see ho...

HOW ABOUT

AT&T take this money and FIX THERE NETWORK! 🙄
Maybe fix "their" network?

AT&T works flawlessly in my area. People get so edgy the minute they get zero bars in their nuclear bunker. Radio waves don't go everywhere, my friends, Verizon has similar issues.

This would be normal practice.

It is suggested that a company re-evaluate and reinvent themselves every 5 years. This keeps things fresh and resets its image to keep consumers interested and curious. I believe Sprint and Verizon went through this not too long ago. Even minor changes, when done accordingly and attractively, can indeed impact a consumers impression. I think this is definitely what ATT is striving for. A normal proceedure by the book.

att is a little behind the times on this one. Verizon and Sprint have been doing this for years. What better way to test the phones capabilities then to actually use them
🤣 yeah I was reading this thinking they were doing something new. Well big up's to them, hopefully they now release that Iphone's rights to sprint so sprint can have the iphone too. lol I know I'm dreaming 😎

I am surprised they posted this bit in their new flash.

All COR and most indirect stores have had live phones in their stores for years. Dont really see how this is noteworthy.

I have never been into an AT&T store that didn't have live phones. Maybe there were some somewhere that didn't.
