Comments on: AT&T Supercharging Network in Advance of Next Gen iPhone? http://www.imore.com/2009/04/03/att-supercharging-network-advance-gen-iphone/ More of everything iPhone and iPad Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:52:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lanisan http://www.imore.com/2009/04/03/att-supercharging-network-advance-gen-iphone/comment-page-1/#comment-39647 Lanisan Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:39:58 +0000 http://www.theiphoneblog.com/?p=7906#comment-39647 <p>I find it ridiculous that I pay for something I don't get. Per their ad's Largest 3G Network (small print, globally). First, how many countries besides the USA promote their (SLOW) 3G network outside of their own country? Japan, Korea, Much of Europe had 3G a year if not 2 or 3 ago. I don't know of any other company that cares (by means of advertisement)if you get HSDPA all over the world. So AT&T wonderfully alienates its customers... 3G WOO.. if & when it might possibly maybe become eventually available. BUT, you get to pay MORE for a phone that's supposedly subsidized. You also pay more for the plan even when cheaper plans become available to non iPhone customers. (which new plans were recently introduced regarding data family & text plans, far cheaper than the iphone plans) Lastly, update.. ALLL PHONES ARE SUBSIDIZED! Why is it AT&T thinks that they're special enough to include a clause that says an iPhone user cannot change their plan during their 2 year agreement, but everyone else who buys a subsidized phone, can? I read another poster stating AT&T is getting sued. If so, tell me where to sign up. I pay for something I do not get. An iPhone 3G. The next gen iPhone WILL be out before the supposed & <em>forecasted</em> August 2009 launch of 3G in the Wisconsin Fox Cities area. So by then, I'll have paid for nearly 9 months of 3G service (which I've only gotten by going 90 plus miles away) and only had 3G access 3 or 4 times for less than a total of 5 days combined. I've called several times to see if I could change my plan & reduce my data or remove it all together. I was told no, its contractural and part of the agreement. I have friends IN a 3G area who also called and asked the same thing, yet they were told the exact opposite. Sure cancel the data plan no problem. This is a direct example of how their money goes to CEO's, (and stockholders) and management instead of infrastructure & consistent customer service. Perhaps my post is the most direct attack against, however for all the iPhone 3G users our there who get poor, shotty or NO 3G service at all, I'm sure my frustration is well heard.</p> I find it ridiculous that I pay for something I don’t get.

So unless the new 2,1 iPhone has some serial battery pwnage I doubt we will see the fruits of AT&Ts labors.

What I would really like to see is full speed wi-fi, so i can surf the web just as fast as my PC. currently I only get an average of 2Mb/s that’s not even 802.11b speed. so I guess I actually want better battery life or (I know it’ll never happen) a removable battery, to allow apple to lift the speed limits on the iPhone.

It's kinda random but I thought I'd post it on the most recent page.. SO!! Does anybody think (or know) that EA Games delayed it's sims3 and need for speed releases to June to have it run on an hd iPhone?
