iPhone 3G for Puerto Rico & USVI : October 17th, 2008 Confirmed!

AT&T the company that has denied the Puerto Rican public access to the iPhone has decided to finally grace us with their approval by confirming a launch date of October 17th for Puerto Rico and the USVI. Yes, after over a year of you being able to buy the iPhone on eBay and jailbreaking to have access to even better applications through Cydia and Installer.app, now you can actually go to a store and purchase it right then and there. You can even pay their excesive $30/mo for unlimited internet and 0 text messages. While if you had just jailbroken it you could have added the MediaNet 200 and gotten unlimited internet (yes, including 3G) and 200 text messages for $20. I am sorry if I sound bitter, but honestly, these news are a year too late. Puerto Rico has had capacity for the iPhone for all this time and now suddenly they decide to launch and its really anticlimactic. I disagree that this has anything to do with the T-Mobile G1 but I'll take whatever excuse they give us. There you have it, if you enjoy giving money to companies that obviously don't consider you a priority, AT&T will be selling the iPhone 3G in every one of their stores starting October 17th, expect there to be shortages and for service to be abysmal (like always).
