Non-AT&T iPhone not likely until a 4G roll-out.

by WyldKard on April 27, 2009

A lot of people dislike AT&T. Granted, that number pales in comparison to the number of people who like AT&T, even if that relationship is entirely due to the iPhone’s embrace. It’s not as though most iPhone users love AT&T’s network, though, as AT&T has oft-been criticized for poor coverage areas and higher prices than [...]
