AT&T 3G Service Coming to Charlottesville and Central Virginia in 2009

It’s official.  All you IPHONE users might actually get what you paid for:

AT&T Mobility today unveiled its network expansion plans for Virginia in the coming year. They include rolling out its third generation (3G) mobile broadband network in new communities including Suffolk as well as Charlottesville, Staunton, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Lynchburg, Danville, Roanoke, Salem, and Blacksburg in western Virginia and in Winchester in northern Virginia.

Now if they could only fix all those horrible outages.

Today you can buy (if you can find it) the iPhone 3G from AT&T, the hottest thing to hit the market since sliced bread.  You may recall one of our own being one of those trendy types who is probably waiting in line as we speak. According to a poll in that same thread, 25% of you will be getting the iPhone 3G.

On the flipside, that hunk of metal, glass, plastic and electronics creates more buzz than starving babies.  No, I’m serious.  On this website Engadget, they field questions from eager morons about meaningless things, like the following:

Santz24: How wildly does it dance on the table compared to the first iPhone?
If you’re asking how the vibrate function compares to the original, we got the two buzzing side by side and they feel pretty much identical.

If you’re asking whether it wobbles on the table as you use it, yes, it does — but the amount of wobble depends on the type of surface. But even on a hard, flat surface it’s not really that bad, and we’re usually sticklers for that kind of thing.

My wobble has always depended on the surface.  Do you think they will start including it as a phone feature?  Seriously, if people care this much about a phone, then I consider my existence no longer meaningless.
