My only issue is that I find it troubling that Apple are willing to work with a German Automaker for in car GPS (a current rumor of Apple building GPS systems for Mercedes....), but were not at all interested in working with T-Mobile, a more than willing partner, when it came to the iPhone. That decision alone would have given them both United States and European coverage, and they chose instead to go with AT&T.
WHY?
Becase AT&T has a partnership with DoCoMo in Japan? What has that proffered AT&T? They still have not completely implimented 3G here in the United States, which was the initial point of that partnership and the main reason as to why the iPhone is only 2.5G so what do they gain by that decision?
For the internet functions, Verizon would have been a better choice, and I say that being a proud T-Mobile customer utilizing a blackberry pearl I am quite happy with.
I LEFT AT&T, having been a NEW CINGULAR CUSTOMER (so that story about their problems being from previous AT&T customers is bull pucky), due to their shoddy service and the fact they wanted more and gave you nothing for it. I GLADLY pay $50 more a month to T-Mobile than I did with AT&T due to what they offer me.
I understand the need for Visual Voicemail being done with the provider, I just detest thier choice of provider.
Bad move Apple.
