I remember them talking about these forever ago, but thought maybe the idea just fell apart...apparently not! Looks like they're popping up in certain AT&T stores. Sweet!

That's great! I saw a video of people actually playing around with one over a year ago, and never heard anything else about it, so I assumed Msoft may have just scrapped the idea. It'll be interesting to see how they work in AT&T stores, considering most cell company setup systems are horrid as it is, haha

I know sprint's was. I worked for them for about 3 months and I hated their activation system. Maybe it was because when I worked for them, it was when they were doing the bulk of the work regarding to migrating billing systems. When people wanted to upgrade, we always had trouble finding their accounts. We normally had to call in to activate upgrades. It was a pain!

I love that parody ad. One of my dads coworkers (at Microsoft) sent him that video link

I wrote an article about it for a technology blog that I work on; quite the neat tool. I found it humorous that the iPhone would NOT be compatible with it :)

man, I saw that a couple months ago and Microsoft said that it was going to do a beta launch in Starbucks shops around redmond. I won't be buying one.
