    I tried that too outside the movie theater yesterday. The Starbucks showed both the AT&T and T-Mobile access point but neither were working. They both technically connect as they are open, but when I accessed mobile Safari the URL name changes to some splash page, but never loads the page.

    What kind of login page are people getting? I'm at Sbux now. I'm getting the login page, but it asks for ATT account email address and password, just like on my laptop. I do have ATT DSL so I login, and for me it connects.



    When I hit the iTS on the iPhone, interestingly a Sbux button appears at the bottom alongside Featured, Top Ten, etc., but fails to load.

    That is dumb. Hate just to be hatting. Not even logically linked. I guess with that logic, you want Barack Hussein Obama to win??

    Push and hold the round home button and while pressing it, momentarily press the lock switch and the screen will briefly flash white.







    In the camera roll will be a screen shot which gets uploaded with the rest of the pictures.



    AFAIK this works on iPod touch as well.



    EXCELLENT! THANKS!

    Shouldn't that be: "No. Data Plans are mandatory if you sign up with AT&T." ?
