The iPhone is pretty much the coolest piece of portable hardware, regardless of what Blackberry owners try and tell themselves. And now Apple has officially unveiled their new, faster iPhone 3G S and the 3.0 software. There are dozens of new features, many which were expected and others which were simply hoped for. Interestingly, it turns out two of the most anticipated features, MMS and tethering, will not even work when first offered thanks to AT&T. Almost immediately after Apple indicated AT&T was not ready to support these functions, fanboys began pounding their keyboards directing hatred and digital anger towards the carrier spurring a response that such features would likely be available by late summer.

iPhone 3G S Hardware Specs by gnifyus :: NR6 :: Show
Though the features and capabilities from a user standpoint have been well advertised and documented; how these were acheived in terms of the hardware specs for the new iPhone were not available to the public. That is, until T-Mobile Netherlands posted it on their site for all to see, (until Apple made them remove it.)
Higher cost for existing customers by Brandon :: NR9 :: Show
Another reason people are “pounding their keyboards directing hatred and digital anger” towards AT&T is it costs hundreds of dollars more for existing customers to purchase one of the new iPhones.
I’m having a difficult time understanding AT&T’s motivations. They must want to limit the number of people who get the new phone … I suppose because their infrastructure couldn’t handle the expected demand? Then again, new customers would seem to bring more demand on the system than existing…
Any other ideas?
