This blog is a 100% rant against Alltel and Verizon Wireless Companies. EVERY State besides South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming have iPhone ready networks, or don't they? The iPhone is the SAME standard 3G CDMA cell phone. Why is this so special? ANY ONE in SOUTH DAKOTA with a BLACKBERRY or SMARTPHONE is USING 3G CDMA NETWORKING. I was let in on a secret by a friend who will remain unnamed who works for alltel. The networks nation-wide are iPhone compatible and the reason when you ask them when we can get iPhones here they say "We're not sure, its all networking" because they know 97% of the people are too stupid to understand what the truly means. as a matter of fact, the internet I am using on my laptop typing this out is ACTUALLY FASTER that the AT&T 3G Internet. So why can't we have an iPhone? Money, the iPhone is the #1 purchased phone in the united states right now, and with Windows 7 mobile being a 100% FAIL most believe the iPhone and the release of Snow Leopard Mobile for some of the Droids will increase Apple and the iPhone by a lot. So Alltel and Verizon have contracts (like all do) with cell phone companies, they make MORE $ from LG, SAMSUNG, BLACKBERRY and ALL OTHER COMPANIES but NOT carrying the iPhone. They've lied to customers. I will be switching to At&t in the next couple of months and use my iPhone in South Dakota and PROVE that i was not lied to. I used and iPhone in person yesterday and it worked FASTER than my Blackberry Tour. I love my tour but I'm just an Apple Geek and I would use the many apps available for the iPhone that RIM and 3rd party developers dont have to offer yet. i hope i inspire you to raise hell and get the iPhone to anyone who wants it.

The only thing is, you can't get any in-person tech support for your iPhone, because there aren't any AT&T stores here. If something goes wrong that you can't send it in to Apple or AT&T for, you're completely BONED. Just sayin'.
