Why AT&T’s doesn’t worry about losing the iPhone
I understand that in some markets AT&T service is horrible. I get it, you have dropped calls and you don’t get service in your house. There are some things that people are forgetting, and they are pretty big. If you have ever used an iPhone, you should know that you can call and use data at the same time. I personally use this all the time, and it is a very useful feature of the service. Apple expanding to Verizon will remove this feature since CDMA doesn’t allow for this functionality. If you are okay with doing one thing at a time, like getting a call and then hanging up to look something up only to call the person back, then fine. I on the other hand like the convenience of checking traffic or getting reservations while I am on the phone with someone. I like going to Wikipedia to prove my friend wrong. I do understand that the network is hammered because of this two-way feature, but try it once and tell me it’s not a great feature. Apple has also advertised the two-way thing, and you know how they are about their marketing strategies. Oh, and please don’t think that T-Mobile is the answer, they would crumble immediately if they got the iPhone. So, this is why AT&T has little to worry about when it comes to losing exclusivity. The phone won’t be as cool if it did, unless Apple buys T-Mobile. Hmmm…
