San Fran & New York: No iPhones for j00!!!

[blackangst1]

So. I first saw this report on boygenious: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009...icably-unavailable-for-nyc-via-online-orders/




And now, many sources are reporting it:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/28/iphone.sales.nyc/index.html?section=cnn_latest

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34601378/ns/technology_and_science-wireless/

"AT&T has apparently found a workable solution to the reported data congestion in New York City," Northrup wrote.
She quotes the AT&T sales representative as saying "the phone is not offered to you because New York is not ready for the iPhone. You don't have enough towers to handle the phone."



WHOA. Bad news for ATT. Seriously. Reports show you can buy one at a store, just not via phone or online.

Can wait to see Verizon's commercial in response....

Indeed he does, but he doesn't say shit about their 3G coverage...

LOLZ, however I believe that NYC will be one giant wifi spot soon enough and it won't matter.

uhmmm... a little out of date? it's already back if you read EngadgetMobile?

SF and NY are too much data sucking network ATT cannot handle anymore....I am glad I didnt have to move to SF and NY long time ago.
