Hey AT&T Customers You Can Bridge But Not Browse
- i expected this from ATT, but for RIM to approve it for app world amazed me. my contract is up with ATT in a couple weeks. i love my blackberry but think i'm done with RIM and ATT. gonna ebay the playbook and torch. been thinking about a droid or iphone anyway. this just helped my decision. fortunately i sell cell phones part time so i can push other companies except ATT. i love ticking off att reps too. lol07-01-11 01:01 PMLike 0
- SlcCorradoBlackBerryHate to say it, but told ya so!
Remember this?
"AT&T is working with RIM to make the BlackBerry Bridge app available for AT&T customers. We have just received the app for testing and before it's made available to AT&T customers we want to ensure it delivers a quality experience for our customers."
I am so glad I am not with them nor will I ever be with Evil AT&T.
A lie is a lie even though the headline on this website is so nice and puffy toward
a company that bold faced lied to their customer.
Come CB, take the gloves off!
The headline should read " AT&T is now double charging BB users!"
ATT users, leave now or you will be rewarding ATT for what they did to you!

Cant believe you have me defending att of all companies, but seriously, business is business. You're kinda just throwin stuff out there. We all knew att was holding out so they could charge. Its not really a "gotcha/I told ya so" moment. At least that is my opinion.

if att charges to use this feature, isnt that false advertizing?
just thinking out loud...07-01-11 01:14 PMLike 0 - SlcCorradoBlackBerry

Last week at the launch party of the new PlayBook in New York City, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie said that the "bridging" app for the PlayBook was a big differentiator for the Playbook over either the iPad or other Android tablets that are sold through carriers, because the "bridge" app allows BlackBerry users to get 3G data access on their tablets without paying an additional fee.07-01-11 01:17 PMLike 0 - SlcCorradoBlackBerry

It's not tethering at all when you go through the bridge browser because all the playbook does is act as a larger display for what the browser on the phone is downloading itself.07-01-11 01:25 PMLike 0

You don't seem to understand. It doesn't matter how it works at all. They own the network, they can choose to charge customers for it, unless there's some law that says they can't.07-01-11 01:32 PMLike 0 -
I honestly can't believe RIM is letting themselves be pushed around like this, it is absolutely pathetic.07-01-11 01:35 PMLike 0 -
Their customers can also leave which if they don't its their fault for getting fleeced like sheep.
Two years of a tethering plan costs $480. Its cheaper to break your contract.

You don't seem to understand they can not charge you two times for the same service. Thats the reason they keep trying to say tethering when its not.07-01-11 01:39 PMLike 0 - Their arguement is going to be something stupid along the lines of what is being transfered over bluetooth is not simply a screen transfer.
Why?
Because it doesn't show up on the PB looking the same as the device itself...
That stupid little difference (even if it makes no sense) makes it not as cut an dry as a simple video out.wdcraig1992 likes this.07-01-11 01:41 PMLike 1 - All I know is that I'm going to my AT&T store today and I'm filing a formal complaint. I'm aware that it won't do a thing at all, but I figure it's worth a shot07-01-11 01:42 PMLike 2
- Anyone from another carrier worried that Verizon/T-Mobile/Sprint might follow suit and start "charging" for bridge.07-01-11 01:48 PMLike 0
