iPhone coming soon: except VermontTheCellFreak writes…In one of the more curious details of the upcoming apple iphone rollout; while customers from the great state of Vermont are more than welcome to buy an iPhone, they won’t actually be able to use it. Such is the problem with iPhones being available only through AT&T Cingular, and while large areas of other states including Alaska, Colorado, the Dakotas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and even New York will be effected, Vermont is the only state completely without Cingular coverage.
That the sparsely populated state is the odd man out isn’t surprising but what is ironic is the news comes in the same Vermont governor Jim Douglas wants to make the nation’s first e-state, having it completely cell phone and broadband accessible by 2010. And as Cingular plans its expansions two years in advance with nothing currently brewing, it looks as though Vermont iPhone fans are not going to be Cingular fans anytime soon.
