Yesterday I told you about the serious marketing mistakes that my local AT&T store made during the rollout of the new Apple iPhone yesterday.
From what I garnered from news reports on the local late news last night, the event went smoothly other places in our area.
In the mall stores in our area - while people reported standing in line for up to 5 hours - people were inside out of the sun, in air conditioning, able to sit down, and able to leave the line to go to the restroom or get a refreshment from any of the mall vendors. We sure did miss the mark there.
Even personnel at other AT&T stores were interviewed and they commented on how smoothly the day had gone.
Clearly a case of poor management at the local store level.
What is that about one bad apple? Wow.

I hope the phone ends up being worth it. I've been curious about it. Let us know what you think of it... :)
Debi,
Thanks for visiting. Both my wife and son seem to really like the phone. They have been online, have synced their iPod collections, watched YouTube videos, listened to archived podcasts, used Dashfly, and oh yes, talked on the phone. The phone (they made test calls to me) seems to have real good clarity and the speakphone works well also. For $199 + tax for a 2-year contract - which is the only way you can get it right now - seems to be a good deal. :)
