And there is absolutely no ground legally for you to demand that. The law is very clear in their liability, and in this case its no more than the price you paid for the iPhone 4. If they were to provide any discounts or rebates then it would be solely as a courtesy. Not to mention you can just go back to your 3GS and receive the service you're paying for. You've apparently chosen not to however.
Sweet Jesus what is wrong with you people?
Did I say legal grounds?
I wonder what fantasy world some of you live in. No they have no grounds to give me a discount but I make a pretty logical case on things and I've been a long time AT&T customer.
I'm also responsible for selling around 90K of AT&T services per year, if CS won't help me my AT&T rep will for sure give me a call.
I am paying for a service and not getting it = discount
Who where looks forward to paying for something that does not work. Your "Well just return it" chirpy replies do not take into consideration the investment made in the entire system.
Not to mention its pretty tough to demo Exchange for customers when it doesn't work, I have to go back to my iPad.
Or how about my customers who purchased iPhone's based on my recommendation, which at the time was fine, but now with iOS4 have tons of Exchange issues?
Your damned right I'm going to be on the phone screaming at AT&T. Just like I am every single time they send out one of their brain dead installers or their crappy tech support, you just supposed to suck it up and take it?
Here is a simple concept, if they don't want to have to lose money to discounting for bad service, don't offer bad service.
Apple didn't spring this phone on them and say SURPRISE!
They entered into an agreement with Apple, I buy AT&T's service and AT&T says the iPhone, which they sell, works with it. BTW I didn't order my phone from Apple, I ordered it from AT&T.
