Apple does not want to deal with the security flaws that are currently found in the Iphone. Apple controls the consumer market while RIM Blackberry serves the business marketplace. It will continue to be this way for a long time. Apple never really geared there products towards business people.

Tiffy, where did you get this printout, and more importantly, were you able to successfully activate the phone under a biz acct?

Count me as another fool who bought the iPhone to use with a business account. What an unbelievable ordeal I have been through. I did so much research before I bought but missed this one huge issue. I am screwed. My cellphone is used primarily for business and they gladly pay for it at work. Unfortunately, Apple and AT&T just don’t want the sale or the account. Looks like re-stock and a Blackberry are in the cards for me this week. Apple sucks.

Just went through the same problems with not being able to get the iphone with a business account. Was told today by business account rep that AT&T is currently negotiating with Apple for release of iphone to business account customers. Says it could be in a month or two, but that there are really no guarantees at this point as to if and when it will occur.

Pissed off!! I am a teacher so not stupid but I thought I did my homework. I had been reading everything on could in the newspapers and even know one person who bought the iPhone and loves it. My husband, editor for a trade magazine, travels a lot. They have AT&T service and I checked on the website for information. It said as an existing customer, he would only have to pay an additional $20/month. I thought I FINALLY got a PERFECT gift for him–knowing he doesn’t need anymore ties.

I couldn’t be MORE WRONG. He has spent hours with his IT guy and now has spent another couple of hours with AT&T to only find that he would have to start a NEW personal account for TWO years–a CREDIT CHECK, deposit, etc. He’s not a techie. What if it turns out not to be the right phone for him? He would be stuck. Well, Monday, I return the iPhone. I may have to pay for the re-stocking fee but I am keeping the receipt. Add me to your Class Action Lawsuit. I am super-pissed!

As I said, he is the Executive Editor of a world-wide trade magazine. He is getting the word out to his staff not to purchase an iPhone and I am encouraging him to put a little blurb in his editorial on how Mac & AT&T are out to screw you. Don’t fall for their scam! My question to Mac: “What would it have taken to be honest and put out a disclaimer stating ‘Not available for use by AT&T Business customers.” They would’ve saved themselves a lot of customers…and money. He might not need a tie next year but it sure is worth a laugh–not the headache & grief I’ve just experienced this year. I will spread the word.
