AT&T certainly has a large enough selection of phones, including high end devices. But when most of the people I know who have AT&T upgrade to a smartphone, they do so with tunnel vision, "its the I Phone or bust." All of the hype surrounding the phone has turned AT&T's best selling point into it's only selling point, which of course can only be good or bad. Friends and colleagues of mine who have it are for the most part disappointed in the device, perhaps because too much is expected, or because there isn't anything more it does in comparison to Blackberry, Palm, etc. These experiences don't even account for the 3G issues; there is no 3G to speak of where I live. AT&T (and it's network) has it's faults, but it's too large and too good of a company to hinge all of it's success on one phone. I'd like to see them do more proactive marketing of their other high end devices.Williamnoreply@blogger.com
