Jeez. Frustrating is an understatement. Well do continue to vent just here. I've noticed that when some frustrated AT&T customers venture off to create new threads, they get jumped on by other forum members defending AT&T like it's their Aunt Betty or something. I don't quite understand that, but I'm new here and there clearly is something I am failing to grasp about the prevailing culture or mindset here. They think we are entitled whiners and they remind us it's all first world problems if we talk about AT&T mucking the order system up or dragging their feet restoring upgrade eligibility for folks who cancelled preorders. We will be reminded it's just a phone and people are dying somewhere and we are dorks to blame AT&T for anything when it's such a busy time for them.
Do be careful if you are tempted to cancel your preorders and go for a phone in the store. Some people get their eligibility restored quickly and others end up in yet another kind of paperwork purgatory. There is no apparent rhyme or reason to the success stories or the failures. Sound familiar?
I expect I might get some flak for this post. If not here then elsewhere. I don't care. Whatever. I am entitled to an opinion as much as the next person.
I don't think you will catch any flak on this forum for you opinion.
