As if AT&T hadn't done enough to agitate everyone with their iPhone plan announcement, they've now posted a video which they call "Getting iReady". Please. The only thing I'm iReady to do after watching this thing is to iHang myself. Granted, it does have some useful info squeezed in there such as the launch time of 8AM on July 11th and how AT&T is going to wipe your voicemail as a gift for upgrading.

There are two videos, one for existing customers and another for new customers.

Check 'em out, just watch your head while you're banging it on your keyboard. Better yet, after watching the AT&T iReady video, watch Apple's iPhone 3G Guided Tour. You'll feel much better after watching Bob's awesome tour skills.

Upgrade Fee?!?

What the F*&#? This is the first we are hearing of an $18 Upgrade Fee! They take any chance they can to grab another dollar from their customers. I hate being nickel and dimed!

Umm AT&T has has an upgrade fee of $18 for years...this is nothing new. Don't know why you are complaining that it is the first time you have heard it...did you even look at AT&T Fees when you signed up with them?

"....Customer eligibility may vary based on credit history, payment history, payment status, customer type and other factors. Two-year service agreement required. Upgrade fee, if not waived, of $18 applies. An early termination penalty of $175* applies if service is terminated before the end of the contract term......"

I didnt' feel like iHanging myself but I did feel iGuilty because my parents said they wouldn't mind paying an extra 10 bucks a month, but I know they do.

I hope no one actually knows that the AT&T store is selling them as well.

I am planing on going to an AT&T store to buy my iPhone only with hopes that my 2 local Apple stores will be attracting all the attention and I will be one of the only ones at the AT&T store. Now I think my chances are down the tube, but no worries I am getting there at around 7.
