AT&T Apple iPhone internal talking points
.jpg)
With the ever-looming release date approaching every day, it would be great to know exactly what our ever-so-informed-and-trusted AT&T reps are hearing. Take a look at the latest talking points memo that we got a hold of. A breif recap below is followed by the full doc!
- "AT&T and Apple have formed a multi-year exclusive partnership, leveraging the strengths of both companies, to create revolutionary new wireless products." Notice that they used products, refering to more than one. The document goes on to say that, "the first of these products is the iPhone, an innovative wireless phone combining the reliability of the AT&T network and the simplicity and functionality of an iPod." Another confirmation of more devices to come.
- AT&T will also give you "access to MyAccount via the device and the iTunes site, allowing customers complete ability to manage their AT&T service". It looks like they are definitely trying to integrate everything as seemlessly as possible which in the end should make for a much more pleasurable experience for the consumer.

Who can purchase the iPhone? "New and existing customers can purchase iPhone in June 2007." But are there any restrictions on who can buy one? From what we can tell, you must have a "qualified service plan" to purchase one. Is this just an existing plan that you will need to have or will a brand new plan specifically for the iPhone be created?
-
A little further down in the document we come across this excerpt, "details on the qualified service plans will be made available nearer to the launch date (June 2007)."
So there ya have it. New and existing customers will be able to buy the iPhone, yet they must have or add a "qualified" service plan in order to do so. Apple and AT&T will be launching multiple products together, and hugging each other as closely as possible to integrate the iPhone into both brands systems.

@ Chris – I hope the iPhone doesnt sell well so I can actually get one on the 29th
@ejay Hi ejay we welcome you and accept your faults. We do not blame you for wanting the newest phone. We accept you and hope to help you. Welcome.
Also I most likely going to wait (again with the waiting) to get the 8820 since it might be better.
@victor – Thank you LOL. Seriously though a Berry with Wifi would be cool but they REALLY need to update their web browser I mean cmon RIM hook us up with a new browser. Maybe in OS 5.0 whenever thats coming out. I will be really disappointed if the mysterious 9xxx series doesnt have a newer browser.
Apple &AT&T ALREADAY HAVE SECOND GENRATION INTHERE POCKETS DON’T RUSH WAIT TILL GET ALL THE BUGS OUT OF THIS IPHONE , THE ONLY WAY GET THIS TO WORK IT’S AFTER THE RELEASE .
omar, they do not. They now will focus their resources on getting their next OS out on time. After that then you can expect the next version. They would not even take the chance of hurting sales, tech leaks are very common due to people like BG. BTW, if you just want to bash apple then go ahead dont hide it in false rumors.
not making any rumors , just looking at apples record in previous releases wether it was the iPod or power books , they maximized there sales making every one of us to get newest ,
saw in another review it takes simms. also, like tmobile works in europe and around the world. FCC certification confused some as it
only required bands used in US to be tested.
