So, corporate discounts do not apply to iPhone users? I currently am getting an AT&T;corporate discount, and I’m about to purchase an iPhone.
I was hoping for a 16GB option at MacWorld. *sigh* Hopefully it isn’t too far off.
wait special $25 a month data plans?
WTF!!! if you read the fine print right now for the iPhone, and it is indeed in there you can use ANY existing AT&T;plan provided you do two things.
1) sign a new two year contract for that plan
2) sign up for the $20 a month data rate plan, note you may be able to lower your bill a bit as you sign up for this because of overlaping features.
Why are business customers getting screwed?
It’s time to get fresh quotes on the iPhone from Ed Colligan and Steve Ballmer.
@peragrin what makes you think business customers are getting screwed? As they are more likely to tax the network with much heavier data usage their usage will more likely be cheaper and those cost are a tax write off for a business, not so for private customer that can only deduct the portion of their usage used for business that has not been reimbursed.
This is one of the best ways that a person or a company could honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King.
He would be (and is) pleased.
I just want to stream the internet off my iPhone to my non glossy MacBook Air.
Because I can’t see the tiny iPhone screen and keep hitting links by accident.
Will anyone think of us old rich Apple fans and their needs?
Bueler?
Bueler?
Anyone?
The fat boy’s been eerily quiet lately. Must be gnawing on an armrest.
ahahahahahahah
50 weeks to go !!!!!!
Phones are dead!!!
OMG!! You poor iPhone users will actually have do work on your phones now.
Apple will sell more of them, Windows Mobile will diminish and disappear.
Cats and dogs will be living together.
SOMEBODY GET ME A CHAIR!!
Microshaft. “Our passion is in your penetration; your body, your computer system and your life.
I was expecting someone say this is a sure sign that iPhone sales are dropping.
A sure sign that iPhone sales are dropping
“Because I can’t see the tiny iPhone screen and keep hitting links by accident.”
i curious…. why then did you buy it?
Ah – can’t wait to hear the crap excuse the IT department at Raytheon comes up once this comes out…add this with the IBM notice of Lotus Notes support (ya, Club Ray uses that old crap too) – and the walls keep coming down.
Of course, the soon-to-be-memo from Raytheon IT will be “not approved for corporate use…blah blah blah. Face it, this is coming and you can do nothing to stop it!
Well, when I bought my iPhone, I wasn’t allowed to use my 10% corporate discount.
That would have been a nice chunk of change.(not to be confused with fat wife swapping)
Raytheon? Hey, y’all doing any hiring out in McKinney, TX? I noticed a bunch of towers…..
The rumor timing does not make sense to me. Why not announce during MacWorld ?
Give us a 16GB iPhone… Please!
Give us a 4GB , at a great price $299 or less
My 4GB is perfect for me, I do not listen to music much, and I have 240 songs, lots of pictures and do not need more memory, want to buy a 2nd iPhone, for its phone/mail/internet/ features in that order
I think an iPhone version without iPod feature ($199) price point would be a success with the corporate world and old farts like me!
@ BiZarRo BaLlmEr: If I’d been drinking a coke, you woulda owed me a new screen. The image…. sweaty shirt, crazed look in the eyes, crumbs of that yellow foam stuff all over his face… LMAO!!!!

Correct, they do not. According to AT&T;, Apple has all-things-iPhone on lockdown. None of AT&T;’s specials, corporate discounts, etc. apply to the iPhone.
Too bad. My GF ended up getting a Tilt and regretting it… but at 50% off for the phone and 20% off the plan, the iPhone was a tough sell.
I work there, we got the memo today. It starts immediately.
Btw, it’s not a tough sell. Unlimited internet on the Tilt is $39.99 a month and on the iPhone it is only $20.00. You save $480 dollars over the course of two years. What do I know; however, I just sell the phones…
Also, you can get an att employee to add the discount back after it is activated, but you need to do it on the sly…as in, ask nicely. It’s easy to get around in OPUS.
