This year has been an interesting one for Apple. iMacs sell when other computer maker’s products languish on store shelves (except for low profit netbooks). Macbook Pros, and the not-so-bottom of the line MacBook are THE laptops to have to college, or for anything. And the iPhone and App Store have turned into phenomenons that even took Apple by surprise.
In fact, the iPhone is popular despite some of the much discussed problems AT&T has in providing and maintaining service for it’s rapidly increasing user base.
Truth is, while I do get the occasional dropped call, even with a full compliment of signal strength bars displayed, and there are times when 3G service inexplicably disappears for hours at a time, I have has relatively few problems with my cell phone service.
Of course I live in one the blue areas on AT&T’s anemic 3G coverage map (which you can no longer find on any AT&T site. You have to go to Verizon to see your AT&T 3G coverage). So, I guess I’m covered (Bad pun. Sorry)
It is for you iPhone using folks outside of AT&T’s 3G coverage that I dedicate this year’s Cracked Carol, which is simply titled “A T and T” (Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
A T and T, would you please
spruce up your 3G
Verizon has a grand old time
poking fun at thee
Map for that
was a slap
but it’s reality
spend money fixing up your net
and less on lawyer’s fees
We all love iPhone
but less so when we roam
dropped calls are the norm
even when we’re home
And if I surf the Net
all I do is fret
because it’s EDGE and not 3G
displayed on my handset
Soooooo A, T and T,
would you please
spruce up your 3G
Verizon has a grand old time
poking fun at thee
Map for that
was a slap
but it’s reality
spend money fixing up your net
and less on lawyer’s fees
Your new commercial’s good
explaining like it should
that what you have is fast
in some neighborhoods
But fast 3G is a hedge
if all I get is Edge
so get to work in 2010
make more 3G your pledge
Soooooo A, T and T,
would you please
spruce up your 3G
Verizon has a grand old time
poking fun at thee
Map for that
was a slap
but it’s reality
spend money fixing up your net
and less on lawyer’s fees
Happy Holidays!
