i had cingular and was happy until they bought ATT. that is when the the dropped calls started and network busy messages became frequent. this was well before the iphone was introduced. i switched to t-mobile and was able to use my phone again. not …

I am not sure why AT&T is so upset. They weren't taken to court for making claims of the fewest dropped calls. i don't use my phone that often, only have the 450 minute plan, and and up with a few dropped calls per week. I never had that issue w…

I have an iPhone 3G and say that I was forced into AT&T if I wanted the iPhone. Granted, I didn't need an iPhone, but I am a Mac user and have been for years and wanted a phone that worked similar. I love the phone itself and think it is the bes…

I am tired of this attitude in America of sue until you get rich. It seems like no one wants to do anything in order to make money. They wait for someone to actually develop a product and then ask to collect royalties. This ends up adding cost to pr…

One thing that raises concern for me is AT&T is admitting their network cannot handle the increased load of the few people who would be using slingbox. If this is really a problem, why are they trying to add another year to their exclusivity con…

I think Apple needs to let their contract with AT&T expire. Whether you are happy with AT&T's quality of service likely depends on the area you live in and whether you had to deal with their customer service when they mess up your bill. Ther…

The scariest part of the whole situation is that Sony has tried to force its own technology upon everyone for the last 20 years regardless of losing nearly every time. Sony tried to fight VHS twice, first with Beta, than with 8MM. They didn't think …

I've run into a problem on the install on my iMac G5 1.8GHz. My dad bought the family pack and we installed it on 3 MacBooks and a Mac Mini. We copied the original disc, which we used to install it on 2 computers (so I know the copy works). I brough…

The other day when I was at the Genius Bar, a lady was in with her laptop having problems installing the new iLife "08 suite. The Mac Genius came to the conclusion that it was a bad install disc, replaced it, and everything went fine. I've never pur…

Of course it is. Anything is worth the free t-shirt! It depends you really. I went tonight anyway just to see the big event. I got the t-shirt and a copy of Leopard. About to install it now.
