Kill AT&T

[Pooka]

Its good to know it isn't just me...

I realize he was happy before, but it required me dealing with AT&T customer service on a REGULAR basis... and my frustration level has reached unsafe levels for my emotional well being... the phone was fine, they were not...

For $40 less we now both have data plans... the network is better... I have yet to find a dead spot int the house... and I've looked believe me... outside of... it isn't exactly the same and I have to set it up... I fail to see how this change is not for the better... other than the positives don't impact Flint.... except of course that there will be $40 more dollars in the budget to play with.

Here is a bit of irony for you or maybe it's strategic warfare....

A hacker has developed a way for people to change (jailbreak) their iPhone4 so it will operate on G3 networks...
thus their owners can move to other (non-AT&T) networks and utilize Android apps on the iPhone4.

The government has given legal approval of this "jailbreak" software.

But another hacker has developed an (deceptive) Android app that secretly "collects a user’s browsing history, text messages, your phone’s SIM card number, subscriber identification, and even your voice mail password. It sends the data to a web site" in China.

Conspiracy theorists will say it's a secret strategy for Apple and AT&T to hold on to their market share.
But it is getting a lot of discussion among Apple developers.
