Grant, I do; however, AT&T also plans to prevent those of us with unlimited data plans from even using the Face TIme service over 3G. In fact I guess anyone without a shared data plan will be prevented from using Face TIme. Verizon Wireless and Sprint do not plan to do this and I'm hoping AT&T will back down as well. As aggravated as I have been of late with some of the nonsense of AT&T (yes many carriers engage in the same behavior) it just seems that there has been some things going on that really bother me. I had an AT&T customer service employee tell me that APple dictates how soon people can upgrade and when. That is simply false and for anyone at AT&T to say this is lying. Apple has nothing to do with the upgrades and would love for you to buy another phone. So, yeah I am a little sensitive about what they are up to.
