AT&T, the only reason you are still around, is because you have the exclusivity of the Iphone.  When that ends, unless you get your act together, I doubt if you will be able to compete.

For some hairbrain reason, AT&T is not ready and will not be ready until the end of Summer sometime.  But lets not give AT&T all the spotlight, lets give Apple a little too.  After all, Apple is finally programing in MMS into the software, a feature that many inferior phones can do and have so for years!

Oh, and the Iphone 3GS, should I be impressed with that phone.  Where is the forward facing camera, 32-64Gb memory, 5MP camera, I guess I will have to wait for those since it seems that Apple releases a few tiny improvements to the hardware and then milk as much money as they can out of their fan base.  Yes I am a fan, but I just can justify paying for a new phone because of a magnetic compass.  The Iphone 3GS is suppose to be faster, I think just a bit, and the camera is suppose to be a 3.2MP up from the 2MP, and the base memory is 16GB up from the 8Gb, but it is just not compelling enough for me to take the plunge.

So I will hold off, and wait until Apple and AT&T stop trying to milk their customers out of a ton of money and start offering what is available in many other phone already on the market.
