No more iPhone sales in New York


ATT develops a fix for the iPhone in New York. They quit selling it there!

Daphne: Welcome to AT&T online Sales support. How may I assist you with placing your order today?

Laura: Hi, I was looking at the iPhone 3Gs and the system tells me that I cannot order one in my ZIP code. My zip code is 11231. (Brooklyn, NY) Is this true? Are iPhones no longer available in New York City?

Daphne: I am happy to be helping you today . Yes, this is correct the phone is not offered to you because New York is not ready for the iPhone.

Daphne: You don’t have enough towers to handle the phone.

Laura: Thank you for your help. So the phone is not available to people anywhere in the city?

Daphne: Yes this is correct Laura.

Now do you think this is ATTs or apples fault? As soon as ATTs exclusivity contract ends (rumores this year) I'm switching to Verizon, assuming a CDMA phone will be manufactured (increased shipment of said chips to know iPhone manu sites, along with verizon statement alluding to fact that they could handle the volume...)

If ATT is getting 2 bil out of iPhone sales (gigaom.com/2009/12/09/who-is-getting-rich-off-the-iPhone/)
they can at least upgrade their network. I will drop calls iPhone to iPhone 3x a week in WI... Can't imagine NYC...

Verizon--I never had any problem with them
