Meet Brizzly, My New Twitter Client
I'm going to try out the process recommended to me tomorrow, wish me luck. Oh wait, you don't care b/c you have a 3G one. Drat.
I have to say that the process of getting the 3G through Oracle was a lot easier than if I was going to get it on my own (as I originally planned.) Order it through the premier site, wait 24 hours, find you AGPS location. Viola!
I have no intention of "upgrading", i.e. dumping my 2G iPhone, which is perfectly good and not nearly amortized yet. I have noticed that several of the apps in the App Store are tied to 3G and fail over Edge :(
Maybe if Apple offered a trade-in, but not otherwise, I'm not prepared to waste that kind of money.
An hour later, when I finally get in to buy my phone they told me that I couldn't get service b/c they couldn't process my ORCL plan. After going around a few times explaining how silly that was since I had already called, it became clear they were not going to budge. I said fine, give me the phone and I'll go work it out with AT&T, they responded saying that I couldn't purchase from they b/c they had to get the phone setup and I couldn't buy from the AT&T store down the street b/c they ran out. In otherwords, thanks for enjoying the line outside our store for 2 hours, you can go home now...!
At which point I lost it with the guy and signed up for a whole new contract to include a new phone number. Now I expect I have a few hours in my future in the AT&T store trying to get everything straightened out but otherwise they were not going to let me leave with a phone. I attempted to get a more logical outcome but it was clear that I had two choices, get a new plan or go home. Too strange.
I'm very interested to see if anyone got this working more painlessly. Please do send me a link to the group, I will be joining for sure.
I guess the bottom line for me is their stuff works really well and is awesome.
As for the contract, I really hope we can get it sorted soon. That's a nice chunk of change when your bill is iPhone-sized.
You can find the group in Connect. It's public.
