AT&T Says Bold Is Selling Out In Most Stores – Also Buys Wayport To Extend Free WiFi To McDonalds & More
TechCrunch did an interview with Ralph De La Vega @ AT&T yesterday and came out with some interesting information. Barrons does a great job of summing it up. Ralph claims that the Bold is selling out in most stores which jives with what we are hearing from BizJournals. He personally carries both a iPhone and a Bold since he also sees the need for a keyboard. Ralph does mention that the amount of iPhone customers is comparable to BlackBerry customers which is impressive.
MobileCrunch also pointed out that AT&T mixes well with WiFi. They just bought hotspot operator Wayport for $275 million which extends their coverage. Wayport includes locations such as McDonalds, Four Seasons, Marriott, and others. That is a nice addition to the Starbucks offering they have. Not to mention that the Bold and soon other BlackBerry models are starting to get the free WiFi treatment at those shops.
I guess WiFi is nice but I would rather a faster 3G backbone…
