It seems not even Apple's supply-chain expertise was enough to prevent iPhone shortages from hitting the Cupertino-based company's home-country. AT&T stores are reportedly running dry on iPhone 3G stock, with resupplies coming in a spate of shipments ranging from a dozen to 100 units. The backlog has resulted in AT&T stores being sold out of stock [...]

Filed under: Apple Despite AT&T's best attempts at completely failing its free WiFi promises eternally, iPhone owners can finally fire up Mobile Safari in their local Starbucks, or, um, that one other place we heard about with AT&T WiFi, and get browsing. Of course, that's not to say the service won't crash horribly in the next 10 minutes, but at least AT&T stuck by its word, and can now move on to more pressing issues .

Filed under: Nokia , ATT Notice that your freshly-purchased N75 smells more like a week-old head of cabbage than a bundle of brand new plastic, glue, and circuitry? That's gross, and no, we don't want to touch it (seriously, get that thing away from us). Turns out you may not be alone, though -- a new class-action suit filed in federal court alleges that CommClub, an independent retailer in California, was selling used Nokias for AT&T's network as brand new devices. For whatever reason, AT&T and Nokia are also named as defendants in the suit, though we're not sure exactly what role they played in CommClub's potentially nefarious dealings; at any rate, the class is looking to bring home some bacon for "injuries" suffered as a result of the bait-and-switch. You're going to go smell your N75 now, aren't you? Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Handsets , Sony Ericsson , ATT , GSM , EDGE One of Sony Ericsson's more creative designs of recent memory, the W350 might be a whole lot closer to grubby American paws than many might have expected. Up for auction on eBay at the moment is a "lightly used" W350a variant in white featuring a silver highlight on the music controls; that in itself isn't particularly interesting, until you take a gander at the display and see a nice little AT&T logo silkscreened on the bezel. The listing's page doesn't give any clue as to when non-rich people might be able to get a subsidized W350 from the AT&T store in their neck of the woods, other than to state the obvious point that the "phone has not been released in the US yet, and you will not find this beautiful color anywhere else." So if you're really bent out of shape about taking delivery of this thing, you might want to dive in on the auction -- you never know if it's going to go the way of AT&T's ill-fated K850 .

For those of you that followed IntoMobile's live streaming coverage of the iPhone 3G launch event from beautiful Santa Monica, California's Third Street Promenade Apple Store will already know that the launch-day madness was almost as frenzied as last year's media-blitzed festivities. But, with Apple and AT&T insisting on having their next-generation iPhone 3G activated [...]

While the world waits for the iPhone 3G dust to settle (with many eager fans likely waiting on their carrier's activation servers to catch up with the tsunami of demand), AT&T is pushing their lower-end smartphone to the Palm-loving masses. Following on the release of the Electric Blue Palm Centro on AT&T's network, the carrier has [...]
