I’m getting a bit more then a little fed up with the lack of update for my phone (I know…QQ). They had originally said it would be available in October. That didn’t happen. Now the update is “In Testing” and in the hands of AT&T, and the scuttlebutt is that it’ll be “Mid November”. That’s still a good month and half after everyone else got it, and considering more and more apps are made available or are being updated to require the 7.5, it’s edging me out of an already sparsely populated/low quality marketplace.
So like an ass, I went to AT&T’s website to see if I was eligible for an upgrade. Nokia’s Lumia 800 is nice looking, but I was considering the HTC Titan, but it’s not on AT&T. Despite the issues I’ve had with Samsung devices, I can’t deny that the Focus S is mighty attractive. But I’m not eligible for an upgrade until February of next year, so that put the breaks on that.
Of course, that doesn’t stop AT&T from trying to ram the iPhone down my throat. On the main account page, there’s a block extorting me to “upgrade to an iPhone!”. No thanks. Been there, done that, etc. So I click on the “Check upgrade options”, and what do I get? A huge fucking page dedicated to the iPhone!.
So it’s pretty obvious that despite having Android and Windows devices in their arsenal, AT&T is still pushing the iPhone very heavily. Now, this may be some contractual obligation they inked (in blood, of course) with Apple, but the favoritism makes me annoyed and sad, and only lends credence (to me, at least), that there’s a very specific agenda at AT&T corporate to push iPhones. In that light, it’s not unpossible that there’s a agenda on the sales floor to push iPhone or Android phones, based on the salesperson’s personal preference.
That being said, I have a tinfoil hat to fold, so please excuse me.
