Dear Scotty,

If you don't have the time to answer this, I will understand!  (But I sure hope that you will....)

Today, I pre-ordered the new iPhone from the AT&T store in the Arboretum.  I need some more electronic fun in my sad life right now.  I hope that you will tell me that this was a good decision.  My contract with Alltel will end on July 11.  Been pleased with my plain old Motorola Razr, but I am so addicted to my iPod Touch and our iMacs that I wanted to make a change.

Our daughter and grandsons live in Huntersville and the AT&T store was honest in telling us that their service is not very good in that area.  Not good, since we drive up to Huntersville often to visit them and my Dad in his Full Care Nursing Home. Plus, we may move up to that area in the future.

I want this more as a way to be on the Internet without always needing to find a WiFi network.  I am not a big PHONE person.  We will use it for Long Distance.  I have looked forward to getting an iPhone for the past nine months.  (Yup, need to get a real life!)

I have signed up for your RSS feeds.  Love them!

I sure hope that I made an okay choice today.  Would SO appreciate a brief feedback from you.

I think the iphone is a great choice and by now you have probably learned that.  Especially if this is your first one.  The big negative is ATT.  I think ATT is no good at all as  you'll experience many dropped calls.  Overall however, this is a small price to pay for how greatly enhanced your life can be with the iphone.  
The 3G coverage in the Charlotte area is pretty good although as soon as you cross over the 485 belt you'll see the phone move over to edge pretty quickly.  

Congrats on the new purchase
