No iPhones for Vermont

Cingular still doesn’t offer service in Vermont, so that means no iPhones.

According to this article, Vermont isn’t the only state that is ignored by Cingular (AT&T). Other states which do not get Cingular service (or don’t in large portions of the state) are:

Alaska, Colorado, the Dakotas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, upstate New York, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming.

I have always thought of the lack of Cingluar in Vermont as a temporary problem.  Luckily we have Verizon Wireless(who is selling off their he wired service in vermont) and have access to lots of other cool phones. We also have Unicel here, which is more regional. I moved over to Verizon a few years ago because I was travelling so much.

That new Microsoft iPhone?…

Listening to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, I got a good laugh this morning. The quote of “I’ll order 4000 lattes to go please” was the clue and the question was what was being launched that this was the first crank call from? Of course we know it was Steve Jobs on the new iPhone which was front page headline news everywhere. The contestant said “oh, that new ummm… Microsoft, ummmm…” to the ooohs and boos of the audience. Kinda funny. 🙂
