iDay is here!

June 28, 2007

Thought I would run down to the Cingular (now AT&T) store tomorrow evening and pick up an iPhone to replace my Cingular powered Blackjack. As it turns out you can’t put the iPhone on your corporate account. Ug. So I have to keep my original ATT rate plan and get a new ATT rate plan! Nightmare. Don MacAskill the CEO of SmugMug had the same problem as he writes here:

Holy. Crap.

I’m so bummed. We’ve got our sleeping bags ready to go so we can get iPhones for the SmugMuggers. We even have SmugMuggers who flew in from out of town so they could join the party on University Avenue (click that link, it’s worth it). Like most companies, we have a corporate plan with AT&T so we can share minutes, save money, etc etc.

They won’t sell us iPhones. Not one phone, not twenty phones. For any price. At all. Neither will Apple.

Why on earth isn’t anyone covering this? Isn’t this a big deal to anyone but me? Yes, ok, I realize I’m coming across as a fanboy, but I’ve hated my mobile phone for decades now. I think there may finally be one that I don’t hate - only they don’t want to sell me one.

*sigh*
