another great title would be "f$$k apple and f$$k att".

like an idiot i got up this morning to go wait in line for an iphone. early enough to ensure i would be close enough to the front of the line that i would definitely get one. well, after a 4 hour wait, it's finally time to pay for my wife's and my phone.

apple guy: oh, it looks like you have a corporate account with att. you're going to have to go to an att store

me: uh, but i don't

apple guy: why don't you call att and we'll get it straightened out.

15 minutes after being on hold with att

me: apple thinks i have a corporate account

att chick: hmmm. no, you don't

me: have i ever?

att chick: no, you haven't

apple guy: let's go talk to a genius

30 minutes after standing in that line

genius: yeah, we've been getting this error a lot

me: sooooooo...

genius: sorry. would you like this middle finger instead?


yeeeeaaaaah. greeeeeeaaaaat business model. a customer waving almost a grand in your face, and you'd rather kick them in the nuts. i know it's not the apple customer service guys' fault. i know it's not the att girls' fault. but it is apple's fault, and it is att's fault. sorry, not the most positive of posts, but i am pissed. :kali:

sorry. just had to vent.
 
well, apple is worth billions. maybe if i take that approach i'll be rich!!!

now hear this!!! no one give me money!!!

(waiting for prosperity...)
 
on a related side note, apple is having a hella hard time activating all these new phones, the Servers cant handle it :-O
 
i guess that's what you get when you release a phone the day after you announce it. and have no time to prepare.

oh, my bad. they announced it over a month ago.

hulk mad.
 
This is one of the reasons I would never wait in a line to be "one of the first." I don't give a damn if I was the fourth person to get it or the 532nd, I still get it in the end. Plus, as we saw with the first iPhone, it is sometimes better to wait until they work out the bugs and lower the ****ing price for everyone else.

Bloody Euros! I can't read that sight worth jack. :grin:
 
I am trying to activate my phone right now., since they couldn't do it in the store. Guess what? Can't do it at home either.

Oh well. I made some new friends in line this morning at least.
 
yeah, at least i still have my $ in my pocket. i've read tons of posts from people who bought theirs already, and now they have a nice shiny iBrick on their desk since apple wasn't ready for the server load.

of course with steve jobs and his reality distortion field in full effect this will somehow be turned into a positive thing. and like a little beaten puppy i'll gladly run back as soon as i can. thank you for kicking me in the balls apple. here's my hard earned money.

i can say this is the first time i've tried to be an early day 1 adopter of, well, anything. i learned my lesson. i have to say, i feel so much better after venting. glad dvxuser is here for that reason. among many others of course.
 
I walked into an apple store and attempted to buy a MacBook for 45 minutes. I mean, I'm here with $1,200 and NO ONE wants to take it from me?

I don't like shopping at apple stores at all.
