accountable for exactly what? Where in the contract with any carrier does it state that all phones will recieve all updates all the time?

 

 Have to have something in writting for any company to be held acountable for. I hold all the wireless carriers I do business with accountable for what is documented in the contracts and the SLA's that I have signed with them, just like I expect my customers to hold my company accountable for what is documented in our contract with them.  The sales rep that is assigned to my corporate account will definately vouch for the fact that I do not "roll over and let them do what they please" is it is documented in the binding contract, I carry the same over to my personal account

 

 

 


Bluetooth failing to pair with headsets and car units, marketplace crashes and other numerous issues.  Those are critical experience pieces that you expect to work when you pay money for a product and service. 

Yes fixing these is on Microsoft which they have done.. While the fools (an appropriate word for today) at ATT are dragging their feet refusing to provide me an experience I was sold.  I expect them to follow thru and remediate in a timely fashion.  The bottom line is they've failed to live up to the level of service they sold us on during the Launch of the product where both Microsoft and ATT claimed to premier partners.  Well both of them apparently decided that talk was enough.


pair the focus with the MS Sync in my Shelby Cobra with no issues and my wife's Edge, have a plantronics that works also, been running a 32gb Kingston class 4 memory card in the phone since day one with 26GB in use.

 

Who has failed - if anyone it is microsoft for releasing a product that have these flaws in it, but then again I seem to remember the exact same growing pains on the original iphone.

 

What level of serivce did they sell you exactly? Do not recall anything in the carrier terms of service for any carrier that indicates the SLA that you are thinking is in place. Not sure where this "expierence" was that you bought is sold though.

 

Have no doubt the update will come eventually, just not as instaneous as some people want.

good for you!   

Some of us are not as lucky.

Take a look here...

 The update is available that fixes some of those issues and the wait is completely unnecessary yet we're destined to sit and wait for inordinate amount of time.. while continuing to pay a monthly fee.. at the same time every other company with smaller resources has managed to do the something seeming impossible for the incompetent people at ATT.  I and every other customer deserves and demands BETTER.  You may be quite happy with the status quo.  I am NOT.  there is nothing you can say that will make this issue any less polarizing.  But there is a solution... it's quite simple too... RELEASE the update.

Interesting article windrider..  Also makes a good point that MS is really quite a different software giant without Bill Gates at the helm.. I think that's why there was so much speculation when Steve Jobs stepped aside a little while back, worried they would lose the edge he gives Apple just like MS did when Bill left..

Be careful. Most people are happy to help out on these Forums, but remember that their advice is theirs only and that you are responsible for deciding whether or not to follow it. Take caution before downloading software to or for your handset, as it could potentially damage your device or void your warranty.

Wow, thank you Caretaker for not locking the thread. In the past we have seen threads locked which are criticalor att or suggest an alternative work around an att software holdup. I think that your response above is helpful, accurate and shows regard for the position many customers feel themselves in.

I worked for AT&T for 9 years during the time before they ventured off into non-landline services and launched AT&T WorldNet, and partnered with Sony and Motorola to bring out the first PDA wireless network.  That was an AT&T to be proud of.  "Bleeding" edge, focused on customer satisfaction, an industry leader.  Those people who worked for that AT&T would cry to see how far this company has fallen.  Imagine, they are now LAST to update their customers WP7 phones, not FIRST (in fact, the first were unbranded phones, how sad is that?), and the only way their customers get an update is through the help of others.  Sad is not even the proper word to use here for this situation, there are none I can think of.  Love you AT&T, but you have really screwed this up.

Wow can't believe this thread is almost 3 weeks old and nothing has changed as far as the status of this update for AT&T customers...  Quite disappointing to say the least, I understand they are being cautious but wow..
