Wow, I find this hard to believe. I'm in Nashville and outside of LP Field (where the Titan's play and it never works) I'd say I lose at most 5%, but probably less. If it really was that high I would think AT&T would be losing customers all the time. Anything north of 5% is unacceptable.
Apple Genius: AT&T Dropped Call Rate for NYC is 30%
According to a Gizmodo reader who took his iPhone to the Apple Store Genius Bar due to issues with dropped calls, a 30% failure rate in New York City is normal.
Now, we all know AT&T's network crumbles beneath the weight of the iPhone (and suspect any other single network might as well), but it's not often we get numbers to go with it.
AT&T claims to be improving their network and adding more frequency, but with a fail rate that high, New Yorkers will believe it when their calls stop dropping.

Apple Genius: AT&T Dropped Call Rate for NYC is 30%
I doubt its 30%. Apple is just making excuses because they don't want to replace this guy's phone. I live in NYC and I rarely get a dropped call. More concerning to me is that after 3.1 3G stops working altogether, and I can't make or receive calls or text or use data without a reboot at least once a day. There are several threads at Apple support on this subject.
I have 2 iPhones, one for myself and one for the wife. I'm not a tech neophyte and understand a certain percentage of dropped calls, ect. come with the technology, but my numbers are just lousy. My dropped call rate is roughly 40-50%, unable to dial out 30-40%, and data connectivity 50%. That's for both phones. Neither one of us are huge cell phone users, but my wife is starting a job that requires consistent connectivity for email and voice. The crazy part is I will have to open an new cell account at Verizon for consistent connectivity. At&t sucks, plain and simple.
I use about 50 voice minutes a month, so I can't say my amount of calls is really enough to get an accurate reading, but I don't find that many problems connecting and keeping calls. Any problems I have tend to be related to low data speeds, or lack of signal.
The other day I was working an event at Roseland and spent 10 straight hours in the basement, which is not even a full flight underground. I stood there for 10 HOURS without access to the outside world, watching all my colleagues with Verizon chatting away and reading their email. I was convinced I was in a commercial and I would turn around and the Verizon guy would be there smirking in my face.
That being said, I still don't regret leaving Verizon, and those kinds of problems are related to the building penetration of GSM vs. CDMA and not inherently a sign that AT&T doesn't have as many towers. However, I do believe that the job of a wireless carrier is to put reception where the people are, and in NYC Verizon does that better. If that means AT&T needs twice as many towers to give people service where they live and work, then so be it.
PSM: My voice use is about the same! So nice to know of another person who doesn't need (NEED!) to be on the phone 24/7!
I rarely have calls dropped. I am tired of AT&T and their lovely 'calls go straight to voice mail without ever ringing.'
Also... I'm too lazy to look into this but why doesn't someone look into a class action lawsuit against AT&T AND Apple. They are both responsible for the ads that say "Fewer dropped Calls" and "Fastest 3G." There have been lawsuits over the '3G speed on the commercial' vs '3G speed in real life' (I don't think any of these have gone anywhere). If anything, should thousands of people join, it may be enough to get AT&T to fix these issues... faster than they are doing now (SF is showing stronger signals these days).
When I leave the NY metro area, I can maintain call connectivity on the 3G network. I live 14 miles outside Manhattan, and if I don't turn off 3G, I experience a drop call rate of at least once per phone call. Usually twice. It's abhorrent. I have to switch to the edge network whenever I'm in the NY Metro area. So glad I'm paying for this faster service that I cannot use.
I have complained to the FCC when I was unable to make a 911 call after witnessing an accident, and I've complained to AT&T to no avail. So frustrating.
Forgot to add, I live in NYC and work downtown. Just watched my iPhone drop the 3G signal, switch to Edge, then drop all signals, then back to 3G, then to Edge. All within 5 or so minutes. I understand that with bad weather this does happen, but I sit near the window looking onto ground zero. I believe there are numerous towers in the area (or so I'm told). No access to email, voice or data during that time. Again not a huge cell user, but this is an embarrassment to At&t.
As much as this is an iphone site, I also feel like its an AT&T hate sight.. I'd be surprised if I came to this site and didn't see something that involved AT&T and how bad they are as a carrier.. Tons of other carriers have the iphone.. yesterday, there was a "O2 is no longer exclusive" post, with people complaining about their service in areas.. but it wasn't made into an individual post.. sorry, I'll end my rant.. I guess I just don't have the problems that most do.. I'm like fastlane in this.. I've had no dropped calls.. and if I had, I'd blame it on my phone, and not AT&T.. as my friends with all other phones, almost always have more bars then I do with my iphone.
Like one of the other comments said, I can't get service at a football stadium either. Or at a baseball game. Or concert... Or anywhere where a few thousand people are gathered. I guess the local tower is just overwhelmed, but I see people all around me with every other kind of phone making calls, web browsing and texting, and I can't do any of that. I am cut off from the world for the 3 hours that I am at that event. REALLY SUCKS!!! Any others have that problem? I have called my local AT&T and they have no answers.
Being from Canada (and on Rogers/Fido), I was finding it difficult to understand the frustration AT&T customers were having. I rarely get dropped calls up here. But a couple of weeks ago we were in Chicago. Now I feel your pain! In the downtown area I could see that I was on AT&T, but was lucky to ever make or receive a call. Oddly, the phone did flip over to T-Mobile every now and then. Bottom line is, I think the issue is with AT&T.
I had the 3GS for a week. In that time, I dropped about half of my calls. Many times, I would try and make a call and get a message from Verizon wireless telling me to input my mailbox number. I went into the city one day and with 5 bars and 3g showing I had no data connection and couldnt make phone calls. I dont know if its ATT or the Iphone or a combination of both, but a device is really worthless when it doesnt work, no matter how cool it is.
Needless to say, I am back on Verizon where I have a dropped call rate around 1%.
Its the iPhone dropping calls. First off the Apple tech cannot validate that its the service dropping calls he can only validate that the iPhone registered that it lost connectivity. In this regard i would believe the AT&T tech that can see and tell you when you dropped a call and from what Tower vs the Apple tech that just hooks the iPhone up to a computer and says "Yeah its your service.".
I am more inclined to believe AT&T on this due to Genius Bar Techs will tell you that if your iPhone's Flash Memory gets low you will experience dropped calls. The worse part is due to that little bit of info any drop calls experienced can be thrown right at the carriers feet because AT&T cannot replace the iPhone under warranty and the Genius Tech can only tech the phone not the network.
In other words.... its the iPhone that is dropping calls and unfortunate for AT&T they have to take the blame because they have no control over the warranty of the phone.
There's a lot of people here who don't seem to understand cellular data networks and how connectivity works. It's like on that work authorization form, the dropped calls shows 22% but the customer insisted it's higher. I guess the internal diagnostic was lying.
Try turning 3G off to make phone calls. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to make phone calls when you aren't competing with massive amounts of data transfer on the same network...
Glad I live in Miami!!! No dropped calls here" EVER!!!
@Sully: You are right but i don't think its the 3G service that AT&T provides that is the problem. I have gone months using my c610 and i have never dropped a call even in my house which only gets a bar. My iPhone goes into searching for service or No Service when in the house. I would think that it would only be my 3GS but my iphone 3g does the same thing.
Here is an Eyebrow raising issue... almost all of AT&T's phones uses 3G then why is it that only the iPhone users complain about signal strength? If it was the service we would be hearing about different users having these issues but its not... Its predominately the iPhone users complaining about signal strength which mean... its the phone... it has a weak radio.
Here's to apple and AT&T. First of all I don't really have much of a problem with service where I live (Muncie IN) but when I'm indoors my signal strength is little to none depending on where I am. So apple, put a better radio in your iPhones! And AT&T, hurry up with 850 MHz and hspa 7.2! And it would probably also help if faster backhaul lines were used! And nobody tell me it's my iPhone giving me bad indoor service cuz everyone around here with AT&T had bad indoor 3g. But then again my friends with verizon do too.
i don't think it's just the iPhone. The other day Howard stern was complaining that he loves his blacberry.....he just wishes it made calls....he's on AT&T. Recently I took a about a 3 and a half hour trip thru the northeast and I was listening to a baseball game on my iPhone over 3g the whole way with no interuptions. And honestly I can't remember the last time I had a dropped call......
This is DEFINITELY an AT&T (not just an iPhone) issue! I have a Blackberry Bold (for Business) and an iPhone (for my personal line) and BOTH phones drop calls so routinely in NYC its embarrassing. I was on the phone yesterday driving from the GW Bridge to the North Bronx and my call failed THREE TIMES within about 15 minutes or so.
I'm so glad I didn't renew my contract because I loathe AT&T and will be heading to another carrier the day my contract expires!
@Lolipopjones: #21
Exactly. The iphone is all the tech can see. He can't make that judgement.
I have many customers in NYC who run their entire business from cell phones with their technicians in the field all over the city. There are areas where reception is bad, but dropping to Edge in those areas solves th problem. They do get dropped calls, but so do the techs using every other kind of phone.
Ass covering.
I agree 100%. I live in Queens, NYC. My wife's family is located in Brooklyn, NYC.
To be clear - on average, I only use about 100-150 minutes per month for voice, I'm a data whore. But she on the other hand, uses the other 500-550. And yes, her having to call someone back that she just called 1 out of 3 times actually sounds COMPLETELY accurate. If she calls her cousin, for example, and has. 25 minute conversation, she will have to call her cousin back at LEAST twice in those 25 minutes.
This is not exaggerrated. It's really, really sad... AND FRUSTRATING!
My phone in the San Diego beach area is practically useless on 3G. Calls drop as described (3 times in a 20 minute call) even with full bars. Data ranges from OK to a crawl.
I have switched off 3G permanently, and now just use the 2G network. Calls drop a lot less (although sound worse) and data is at least consistent, if slow.
Not very satisfactory.
how exactly does such a statement garner ratings? Particularly on Sirius radio where there aren't any?
I live in Queens, NY like the poster above...and he is totally correct. If i'm on a call longer then 5-10 minutes..it'll drop at least twice. Everytime. Also, trying to use the iPhone during rush hour is a joke. I was on the corner of 57th and 7th Street at around 5:15 last week, trying to text someone (in the middle of midtown Manhattan!) and had no service. I have no idea if its the phone or AT&T, but either way its pathetic. I had Verizon for 7 years before this and had maybe 3 dropped calls for that whole time.
that is a screen shot of my normal usage, and I don't tether even thought I'm jailbroken. My iPhone does everything I need so I don't carry a laptop anymore. Add 2500 mins and constant sports and IM push notifications and I can say that my iPhone handles my needs very well, before the iPhone never had a dropped call or call fails, now it happens a couple times a week. I would consider this normal usage with the apps I use and business email with lots of PDF attachments and checking out videos and podcast for business ideas. I'm very happy with AT&T, been a customer for years. I don't doubt some of you have come across problems with the service, but prob not 60% dropped calls, if you do have that prob, it's probably more than just AT&T. The iPhone still needs a lot of work in terms of fine tuning the hardware for better usage. And if this is normal usage for me, I'm sure there are a lot of others out there who match or exceed those numbers, think about what that does to the towers and local service. I doubt there is any one provider who would be able to handle that kind of data growth overnight.
This may help some of you who are having problems. I was dropping calls regularly back around the end of 08 and into 09. A friend who works for AT&T told me that they were updating towers in the area. I started noticing 3g coming and going regularly. What I found is that when the phone switched rom 3g to edge, it would almost always drop the call if I happened to be on a call at the time. I found that switching 3g off made a huge difference. Since they have finished with the updates, I now can leave 3g on and very seldom drop calls any more. So if they are upgrading in your area, it may explain why so many dropped calls. Be patient, switch off 3g during your critical business times and wait it out.
I had AT&T/iPhone in Colorado an. So cal no problems. Since moving to NYC I drop at least 1 Call a day, and some thimes I only make one call a day. The other night I was ATTEPTING to carry a conversation with my boyfriend, we were dropped 6 times in a row. That is no uncommon There's def something wrong with NYC AT&T.
everyone i speak to this month complains of bad reception and drop rate is 80%. the 20% remaining is shoddy.
i deleted all 3rd party apps and rebooted it.
SSDS (Same S**t, Different Smell)
of course the 2G iphone and my plan have expired in june. so wondering what to do. wait for my family and friends/clients to come out of contract shortly too, and then switch to cheapie prepayed phone until apple starts selling verizon iphones.
I live in the San Diego area, and my Wife and I both have the Iphone 3G. I would love to have a 30% drop rate. To be completely honest, I can't remember the last time I made a phone call and it didn't drop. What is really frustrating is trying to carry on a 5 minute conversation with someone who is not using ATT, because each of the 5 times the call drops, I get charged for a full minute of usage. When you do the math, I can only use half of the minutes I pay for, because I am guaranteed the other half will be consumed by 1 second dropped calls. It is one of the most frustrating things I have ever dealt with, not to mention that I am locked into another 1.5 years of a contract. Am I wrong to expect the service I pay for?! Please let me know as soon as the class action lawsuit starts, I am definitely on board!!
I just googled this website to try and figure out if this is a widespread problem, and it looks like it is.
I don't even have an iPhone, I opted for a Nokia e71x because I absolutely refuse to pay $100 a month for a data plan.
My call rate has dropped precipitously. I drop about every other call, and about a third of my dials doesn't go through.
This is ridiculous. I think the company should comp us if they drop a certain number of calls a month.
I agree. I just moved to NYC and I feel like I am in a 3rd world country. This is not a telephone service that AT&T provides but a pain. My call drop rate is well above 30% and it usually takes me 2 attempts to dial a number. This situation is unsustainable especially when you are trying to conducut business over the phone. Again, I am very upset about AT&T's unresponsive and incosiderate behavior and will not return to this company as soon as my contract has expired...
I'm sitting at 7 World Trade Center in New York City, overlooking the hole that is the World Trade Center site. I have an I-phone, and a nokia phone (two different accounts) that are both on AT&T. The service is terrible for both phones. However, it's only on the IPhone that I can't make calls, drop calls like mad, don't receive text messages, get delays in voicemail notifications, etc. The reception is bad for both, but in my opinion, the primary issues mentioned above are with the IPhone.
I can't believe AT&T! They should be taken corporately out into the proverbial street and shot at close blank range. I'm a New Yorker, and I'd say on the average, 50% of my calls are dropped. If I travel north to, say, Boston, it gets worse. If I travel south, say, to D.C. it's about the same. It's SO FRIGGIN' BAD, I've actually bought a second cellphone so I can have some assurance that a call when go through when I need it to. Sheeeeeeesh. I feel totally ripped off. If you go into a Verizon store and look at the dropped call maps, it'll make you sick to your stomach when you see the AT&T map.
So glad I found this site. I've been wondering why my service has gotten so bad recently. My office is on Park and 47th and I can't stay on a call with all bars on the iPhone. Do like everyone says and switch to 2G. Better yet, smash the iPhone and go back to Verizon. I don't care who's to blame. Someone has to take responsibility.
I too am happy to have found this site. I noticed a change in my AT&T service about 2 weeks ago -- now, I drop calls in my apartment all the time and I have only 2 reception bars. If a call goes through, it gets dropped 4-5 minutes in. Before that, I got excellent reception and never dropped one call. I've also noticed that my voicemail notifications are sometimes hours late. I live on 86th and 2nd and wondered if the new 2nd Ave subway construction is interfering with my signal, but I just think AT&T has taken a turn for the worse.
I think everybody should send screen shots of the failed calls to this address
I've contacted AT&T at least 2x a week, every week for three months now. I've jumped through all of their hoops. I've swapped out my iPhone 2x, swapped out 4 sim cards, and all kinds of phone resets and configuraitons. I still have call issues (Dropped calls, missed incoming calls, cannot make outgoing calls) every day!!! This happens in my hometown of Cleveland as well as where I work in Detroit. Both locations have 5 bars of coverage all the time. This is unacceptable. And AT&T still insists that I continue to pay them for their lack of service and offer me nothing. All the customer service and technical support reps offer me is empty apologies, hollow empathy, and lame execuses. I've been with AT&T since before they were Cingualr, and before they were Ameritech. I'm done with them. My patience is gone!
I live & work in manhattan and I have an iPhone 3GS on AT&T, the quality of service has dropped significantlly lately, I would say 50% dropped calls, you have to call the number 2 -3 times to get through 80% of the time with call failed sometimes for 3 minutes till getting through specially in mid town and down town to the extend that during halloween night, I couldn't make 1 phone call for over 3 hours in union square, I am serious no calls in or out for over 3 hours, this is really bad, and It's getting worst everyday
you guys should check out this video about the iphone, it's funny but sad at the same time.
What would really be nice is if a phone company would provide a truly awesome smart phone and not deliberately overcharge them for buying one i.e. charging a mandatory data plan fee for a phone even if you don't plan on using the phone for data that much or would prefer to use the phones data capabilities via wi-fi only.
at&t should have at least given people the option. As it stands they can't even handle the massive increase in data traffic that happened as a result of the massive influx of new iphone owners!
my at&t service has become unbearable in the last couple of months. any call during the day in midtown manhattan gets dropped after about 20 seconds. i know it's not the iphone since it works fine in the evenings and in the suburbs. has anyone tried to get out of at&t contract on the grounds that they do not provide service as promised?
The Saint Louis market has the same type of problem. I work for an IT company and we have opened a case with AT&T because all of our iPhone users are experiencing the same type of problem. It does seem to be worse with 3G enabled but the problem doesn't totally go away in Edge. I think the 30% drop rate is actually about right. It seems like it all happened at about the same time as 3.0 firmware came out for the iPhone. I even drop calls at about the same percentage way after hours at like 2AM. Hopefully they identify the nationwide problem and get it fixed soon. Otherwise the Andriod phone on Verizon's network looks pretty appealing. After all, they "have a map for that" :)
I'm a NY Blackberry user with AT&T and my dropped call rate is well North of 50% at least. I'm into my second replacement phone now, AT&T in fact is trying to be very helpful but it all doesn't matter since I'm having 5 - 10 dropped calls a day every day since I bought the phone. They just can't get it done.
I am so frustrated and am tired of making excuses to the people that I have to call back and explain that I did not hang up on them, but rather my calls were dropped in the middle of conversation while on AT&T. I recently purchased great phone, the N97, and switched from Verizon where I never had a dropped call, or at least I do not remember one, and I have been with Verizon for years! I live in Queens, NY, and with AT&T in order not to have a dropped call at my home, on the first floor of a 2 story house, with windows in all rooms, I have to stay in one room to complete the call, because if I move from my bedroom to my kitchen less than 10 feet away...my calls DROP! How could that be???? I guess that the phone switches from GSM to 3g or because I soon see some bars in the kitchen and could make another call!
That is not acceptable service in this day and age!
Needless to say, I am jumping ship, it is a shame because I love my phone and cannot use it on Verizon, and I do not know much about TMobile.
Also, AT&T has no service at ALL on a stretch of I84 between Middletown, NY and Port Jervis, NY....it is a 16 mile stretch and no service, on an Interstate, yet, and forget about the Palasades Parkway, in NJ. I just pray that I do not have an emergency, because I surely cannot call for help with AT&T. They could have all the apps they want, but it is a reliable phone service we pay for and need, but do not get!
ok, I have used the iphone 3G, the blackberry bold 9000 and the blackberry curve 9700. I live in Greensboro, NC The iphone AWLAYS drops my calls.
I recently had my phone mess up and temporarily cut on the iphone again until i got a new one. It STILL dropped my calls, even with updated software (if that even makes a dang difference).
I actually have not had any problems with the blackberry bold. It does seem to search for 3g alot, but not a problem. The only main problem is service at my home is limited to certain areas BUT even when I had sprint I could barely get service in my home with dropped calls as well. Friends of mine who have verizon say they get absolutley no service in their homes. Guess it depeneds on where you live.
With my curve 9700, it was pretty good. I still had bad service at home. I get dropped calls only in my home for the most part, but not nearly as much as the iphone. The iphone drops calls inside and outside the home, doesn't matter where i'm at. The curve works pretty good, but extremely slow in areas of low coverage. I did have people tell me that they can hear me better on the iphone than on the curve.
Still no problems with the bold, but I have a later version so perhaps they have tweaked some things to make it better.
It's all based on chance, everybody complains of dropped calls and terrible service on every service. It must be a lottery and if you are lucky your phone works great on the service that you have.
It's not the iPhone. It's the AT&T Wireless network. I live in the Bay area and the phone service here is terrible. At first I thought it was the iPhone. Prior to the iPhone, I had Verizon.
So I was in Oahu last week. Got 3G coverage every where I went on the island including some remote places on the North shores. None of my phone calls were dropped. Did not get the "Call Failed" message at all for a whole week. I was able to have an hour long conversation for the first time since I bought the iPhone 2 years ago.
So it's not the iPhone that's causing all these problems. Verizon is right. It's the network. This is ridiculous that we're locked to AT&T in order to use the iPhone.
It is AT&T entirely. Even in London where cell phone user density is high the iPhone works just great with ANY of the carriers you can connect to. Sitting at La Guardia it is just Call Failed, Call Failed, Call Failed. Why anyone in NYC would have an iPhone locked to AT&T is incomprehensible. For AT&T is a great business model though - a revenue stream based on hope.
My iphone drops more than half my calls (verified by Genius bar). I am in NYC, mostly downtown to midtown. Apple replaced my phone and nothing changed. I have three iphones on my account. The one in Boston works. The two in NYC don't. At this moment, at the corner of Chambers and West Broadway, I am unable to call out (call is dropped within seconds) and can't retrieve phone messages. I have a backup T-mobile that never drops. My wife has Verizon that never drops. I can't wait to drop AT&T.
I'm experiencing 100% of call failure on my iPhone . Usually within 5-10 minutes the call drops. Or the call won't even connect! I live in the NJ / NYC area. Just replaced my iPhone and the dropped calls actually became worse. AT&T points the blame at Apple and says it's a phone issue. Apple points the finger at AT&T and says it's the network. I never had a dropped call on Verizon. I can't wait to get the iPhone on a new network.
I live south of Nashville in Murfreesboro, TN and my signal with my iPhone constantly goes from 3G to EDGE to nothing all with a failure rate of 2 out of 5 calls. I can not even use the phone in my home and have to stand outside or the call will surely drop. I switched to AT&T from TMobile solely for the iPhone and have experienced nothing but grief. With the recent talks of increasing the cost of AT&T's data plans, I will just switch back to TMobile.
I am having the same problem in Ft. Wayne, IN and other parts of the country when traveling. Many calls go to voicemail. Tried calling with wife's Samsung... rings 3-4 times on hers before rings once on mine then it goes to vmail! If I don't answer on first ring -- no call -- that's tough when driving!!!!
Worked great in SOCAL. Exchanged 2x, new SIM card... still call failures, still NO SERVICE indicator when switching between EDGE and 3G. I want out!!!!!!!!
I live in San Diego, CA, and I would say that if I'm driving, WELL OVER 50% of calls on AT&T are dropped. I drive the same route every day, and there are certain spots where it usually drops. This is a major metro area and this should not happen. In addition, the reception is terrible with TONS of static. I have a Samsung AT&T phone.
I used to have Verizon and only about 1% of calls were dropped. The reception was fantastic -- once we were backpacking in the Sierras and there was a fire nearby and couldn't get reception but somehow 911 worked and connected me up with a highway patrol in Nevada. I will, however, say that Verizon's customer service left something to be desired.
The only reason I'm on this stupid AT&T is because my husband has an iphone.
I had been an AT&T used since it was called cingular in NYC. I have had many phones from them over the years and never ever had complaints over the services, I have even used my phone internationally (if u don't mind $300 to $500 bills just for few calls and some txts). I bought my Iphone in November and since then i have had recurring calls dropped, a rarity to the point of not remembering a single case before the change to Iphone, now I tend to worry of how much my phone drops calls, specially since I tend business overseas and international calling is a most and my company for years charges a connection fee which i have to pay again because I got a dropped call. Still i will try to use edge instead of 3G, unless i need the internet, will report on how that works out.
To clear something up, there may be problems with the iphone, but ultimately it is the AT&T network, it is so sub-par it is shocking.
Proof - I have an older Blackberry Curve and it is not 3G, only EDGE. And guess what? I get dropped calls ALL the time in Manhattan. ALL the time. So it is not only iPhone users. And it is not only people using 3G. It's AT&T's network, and that is a FACT. Everyone I know who has AT&T in NYC says the same thing.
I live in NJ and the reception is not perfect but a little better than in Manhattan (although I still get dropped calls), but the reception in the city is completely unacceptable. I don't care how many iPhone users there are sucking up data in NYC, any wireless carrier who doesn't have a good network in the biggest city in the country is second-rate.
In 13 days my contract is up and the first thing I will do that morning is go to the Verizon store and switch my service. I can't wait.
I am a new iphone user-- got my first (16G) in mid-December 09. the user-friendliness, texting, web function, apps are all great, often amazing. The cell service kind of defies words, it is truly awful-- whether at home in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn or at work in mid-town west. truthfully, my dropped call rate for this first month with is around 60%. I preface many calls with "I may lose you at some point". but I am addicted to this thing, hopefully cell issues will be resolved. well, they have to at some point, else a revolt. apparently I am not alone.
I am one of those guys who has to every phone that comes out. I don't care about the cost to break a contract and I have broken many. I have learned this >>>READ THIS>>>> For anyone wanting to get out of contract with att, JUST CALL (you may need to sound irate and ask to speak to a supervisor) I use my phone mostly in NYC. I carry a Verizon phone as well. Calling to my att iphone, I notice the iphone (or any phone on att network ive tried) calls go straight to voice mail. Not good. People dont leave vm these days and you will never know they called. This is at least a 30-50 % of the time. SO just tell them you how unhappy you are they WILL let you out of your contract immediately. I got out of 3! Although I think they must have known I wasnt really going anywhere (addicted to iphone) I have finally decided the iphone is the best phone I have ever used.

As we progressed via time we had external clothes and blankets for warmth; two discrete layers. The lamb's hide (sheep hide) came to be the greatest discovery by man owing to the layers and natural oil on the fleece fiber repelled moisture and didn't get wet to the skin. Somewhere alongside the line in all likelihood a Sheppard fleeced his sheep, probably to comfort the sheep in hot climate and located that this fleece made a great insulator towards the harsher weather.
Hi, Neat post. There's an issue with your web site in internet explorer, may test this? IE still is the market chief and a big component of folks will omit your fantastic writing due to this problem.
This is a great product, but it would be a killer product if it weren't so flash-dependent. With HTML5 and CSS3 rolling out, there's little excuse for having no iPhone-compatible version (even if it were more basic). The structure is already in place, using XML galleries and all. Let me know if you want/need an extra coder on the project. That added functionality would attract massive marketshare...
I've learn a few good stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how a lot effort you set to create this sort of great informative site.

I am a hairstylist on my feet all day.. I can't wait until the cooler weather to start wearing these boots! They have the support that I need and look good with slacks or long skirts....
I purchased both the bomber brown and the black in this style. The brown has an incredibly comfortable snug fit. The black, for some reason, runs a bit larger and is a bit looser.
I was hesitant to buy boots online, but these are the best and most comfortable boots ever! And, yes, they are true to size. I will certainly buy another pair from Bootbarn.
they look great and feel even better!
These were my very first pair of western boots, and they have certainly made a believer out of me! Great looking and incredibly comfortable, I wear them almost everywhere. I highly recommend them!
These boots look better in person than in the photo. In particular, the stitching on on the shaft is a denim blue color, which makes them look great with jeans. The leather is really soft and the fit is very comfortable, even with thick socks. I wear a 10 and bought my regular size. You can't go wrong with these!!
Gorgeous boots - glove leather soft, but they are cut on the narrow side. Even going up one half size, they were snug over the instep. I wish this boot came in a wider width - that might solve the problem. If you plan to purchase this gorgeous boot, consider going up at least one half size.
I really adore boots, but it's still hard to find a pair that I would like to wear everyday....until I found these. They are perfect and comfortable enough to wear just about anywhere.
I've always admired the distressed leather working cowboy(girl)boot I've been wearing mine nearly everyday now for a year and love them every time I put them on. I've just ordered another pair in red because I've always wanted red boots and it breaks out of my conservative mold. I know they will wear and fit as wonderfully as my old pair. I think if the spur shelf was just a tad larger they would be even better. The only thing that makes a good boot great is spurs!

BAKER — As a consensus top 10 prospect in the country and standing 6-feet-10 inches tall, Holmes County's Chris Walker draws plenty of attention wherever he goes on and off the basketball floor.
Walker and his Blue Devil teammates were in Baker on Friday for a District 2-1A game with the Gators.
It was no surprise that Walker was a force in the paint swatting away numerous Baker field goal attempts, or that he easily dominated the boards. What was a little surprising is Walker only scored nine points as the Blue Devils beat the Gators 67-46.
Despite the loss Baker coach Mike Martello was upbeat about the performance of the Gators.
"You could tell what our game plan was and I thought our guys did an excellent job executing that game plan," he said. "We just didn't have as many weapons as they did.
No matter what anybody tells you they are not a one-man team. They've got guys around Chris Walker that can step up and you saw that tonight."
In fact Walker was more of an on-floor spectator in the first quarter as were most of the Blue Devils as Junior Miles stole the show scoring 16 points in the opening quarter.
But the first basket of the night belonged to Jonathan Williams. Fittingly Williams hit a 3-point basket of his own to start things off in a sign of things to come from the Blue Devils.
Miles then hit three straight 3-pointers to push the Blue Devil lead to 12-0. Walker scored his first points of the night on a pair of free throws and Miles hit a driving layup to complete the 16-0 opening run by the Blue Devils.
Justin Morgan broke the Baker scoring drought with 2:30 left in the first quarter but the damage had already been done.
Holmes County pushed the lead to 23-6 at the end of the first quarter and 38-18 at the half.
Although the Gators (4-6, 1-3) trailed by 20 they wouldn't go away.
Josh Hartzog led a gutsy Baker effort to stay in the game. The Gator point guard refused to be intimidated by Walker's presence in the lane and he continually took the ball to the basket whether Walker was looming in the shadows or not.
At game's end Hartzog had scored an impressive 22 points. And much to their credit the Gators had answered the bell rather than folding under the weight of what seemed to be an insurmountable lead.
When Hartzog wasn't driving for a basket he was dishing the ball off to his teammates and Brooks Taylor benefitted from Hartzog's generosity by scoring 11 points of his own.
But Holmes County proved to have plenty of weapons to compliment Walker.
Miles led Holmes County in scoring with 19 points. Clay Keen added 12 points and Cason Moore 10 points.
"We did some good things," Martello said.."We worked the ball around (on offense) and that's something we haven't been able to do this year. When Josh is having a great game he does a good job of it but getting everybody else involved is something that we worked on.
I thought we did a great job. We never quit even though it got to 20 points plus. We kept playing and battling the whole game.

I did 3 runs with the Ultra boost so far. The first was a 12k in which I set a new personal best without even trying to run fast. The second was a 12k I ran at a pace of 5 minutes per k ( 8 minutes mile) and my heart reate was way lower than normal at that speed. Today i did a 26k run and the pace was good. The shoe fits well. After having run only 50k with these shoes, I find that the wear is excessive. Some of the nobs are already completely gone. Compared with the other boost shoes I've had the wear is excessive. That's the only issue I have with this shoe. If Adidas can fix the wear issue, they have a real winner here. For the price they cost, this will turn out to be an expensive shoe, because i don't see myself getting the same mileage out of these shoes. ... read more
I have done three runs in these shoes a five mile, seven mile then on Saturday nineteen miles - Shoes are really nicely cushioned. I went down by half a size from original adidas boost. I bought two pairs 10.5 and 11 and took them on and off so better than buying from a running shop to dither but these are better to be close fitting. Bit heavier and less speedy than previous models. I had a sore toe before the run due to a black nail but ran for 3 hours and it was fine. The uppers are great. Lovely cushioning great for my sore Achilles and no problems after 19 mile long run so fantastic for a marathon. But .... the outsole is worn after just 30 miles - the pimples are down to nothing - is the rubber too soft - I'm concerned they wont last 100 miles. I have attached photo which shows some of the slightly worn pimples and some have worn to be flat - is this a major flaw if so adidas will get a lot of returns ... read more
A couple of things to mention, I love the Energy Boost, I love the Adios Boost. One of the things I love about Energy Boost is that first 200 meters when you set off and it feels like you are just floating compared to other shoes. When I saw the release of the Ultra Boost and the opportunity to place a pre-release order I knew I would buy them. Have run a couple of times in them now, 7mi and 8mi. Today was a 6'49" steady run. First thing was early pace surprised me, started up a big hill and Ultra Boosts made sub 7 uphill feel relatively easy. Boosts seem to suit my stride as in them it really flows and feels very smooth, U Boosts are no different in this respect. Have also found them better than Energy Boost at minimising soreness after the run. E Boosts were good in this respect but U Boost seems even better. The shoe feels totally neutral, even more so than the E Boost. Today was a light mist and ground slightly greasy, but grip of new Boosts was never really in question. As is mentioned in the PR materials, the upper is really special. It literally does fit like a glove. In E Boost I went a 1/2 size up to UK11, but in U Boost 10.5 fits me perfectly. Due mainly to the stretch of the Primeknit. I think the 1/2 size up would have been too big for me. In Adios Boost I also take 10.5, so if you have Adios Boost the same size in U Boost is fine. I guess looks are a personal preference, but my last E Boosts were Black with red inner, so for me the initial release of U Boost in Black with the blue heel cup would be my first choice in any case. They do look really nice! To summarise, I am really happy with the shoe so far, it feels fast, protects my legs even better than E Boost, fits like a glove, grips really well and looks better than the other 19 or so shoes in my collection! ... read more
I would like to start off by saying that I am very grateful that Adidas decided to bring back the T-Mac 3. I was extremely excited when I heard they were doing a T-Mac 3 retro. That said I was DISAPPOINTED in the T-Mac 3 shoes I received. There were creases, scuffs, and spots of hard dry glue all across them. The box was falling apart and didn't seem big enough to hold the shoes which may explain some of the damage. I was surprised Adidas would release them in standard box, because my T-Mac 1 retro shoes came in a special edition box that was very classy. Bottom line is when I spend $140 dollars on pair shoes I expect them to be 110 percent to my satisfaction. The shoes I got didn't come close. I am giving it a 4 star rating because I am a huge fan of the T-Mac 3, not because of the shoes I received. I do hope that Adidas comes out with more color ways of the T- Mac 3 and learns from this mistake. Because when something like this happens it makes me wonder if I should buy shoes from Adidas ever again. I wish I could have written a happier review, because the T-Mac 3 is coolest looking shoe of all time. Its also pretty decent shoe to play basketball in. ... read more
First, this shoe is amazing. Im an ex-collegiate T&F athlete with a neutral gate and forefoot-midfoot runner. I'm approx 200lbs, and need a cushioned ride. I've been looking forever for a shoe with enough fore-mid foot cushioning for the heavier, neutral runner and I feel as though everything is focused on Heel cushioning these days but this is amazing for the mid-forefoot striker! Extremely cushioned and soft yet responsive, feels great on the foot, needed two days to break the shoe in, and no injuries since I've had them. You don't want to take these babies off, believe the hype. I almost missed out on a great shoe. ... read more
I work on concrete floors all day, walking close to 5 miles a day. These shoes are like walking on beds of squishy marshmallow wonderment. I am sure if i round housed someone in the face with these on, they would thank me for the soft, gentle embrace of encouragement the sole of this shoe provides. Four of my co- workers have made the same investment in their soles! 3 X45 degrees for life! ... read more
There is only one problem with this clear. Adidas needs to make it in solid colors. A solid black, a solid grey, a solid white, etc just like the original Adidas 5 star 4.0's. Just make them in every color they make of the 4.0's I not just make them in those basic colors please. I need these cleats to match my uniform. ... read more
These are the most amazing shoes! You have to try them to believe them. I have never owned a shoe with better impact protection. I have a large collection of shoes and these really stand out. Be prepared though- you'll get nothing but stares and perpetual questions about them! They are AWESOME! ... read more
I never thought I'd love a pair of shoes so much but these shoes are something special. Initially I felt they were a bit odd and different, not in a bad way but something I wasn't used to. I really enjoyed the light weight and how incredibly comfortable they were. I love being able to wear them without socks and my feet are very comfortable. The first two days I was only walking in them around work but.. The magic happened when I finally went for a run. I wore minimalist running shoes before and the pure boost are on a completely different level. I could run longer, harder, and faster. I felt the shoe gave an incredible amount of support and comfort which most minimalist shoes don't seem to offer. My running shoes are now my every day shoes and I couldn't be more satisfied. ... read more
This is probably the best shoe i have ever tried on. It is too bad this shoe runs small and the biggest size available is 12.5...I wear a 12 usually but since these run small i tried a 12.5 they were extremely comfortable but still small..probably the most comfortable shoe i have ever put on. Adidas you have created a god like shoe; however, its too small...please make a larger size. Would be a five star from me but you don't make a large enough shoe for me. It would be amazing if i could fully experience these shoes. Please make a size 13. With all respects, Jrob8 ... read more
This is my first pair of Boost running shoes. It is a great distance running shoe: comfortable, light, provides tons of shock absorption and keeps your body feeling energized mile after mile. It fits true to size and has a generous toe box area. Future generations will wonder how we used to run on anything else. Based on my use so far, I don't think I would use these for higher intensity running drills like 200s or shorter, but for its intended use, you can't beat it. Construction of the shoe is very high quality, with premium blending of materials and nicely executed 3D effect with 3 stripes and logo on the tongue and heal cap. ... read more
they are the best cleats iv'e ever had but I wish they would have more simple, solid, colorways. An all navy and white pair or an all red pair without the weird secondary colors. I need my cleats to match my Highschool uniform, so i can look "LOUD", BUT presentable on the field. Please do something about it ! ... read more
When I bought the Pure Boost a year or so ago I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like them, but they were just so narrow. Also. they were comfortable, but not very stable. I was rolling my ankles all day. Decided to give the Ultra Boost a shot hoping that ADIDAS would improve the shoe and they did! The widened the shoe so it is not so narrow, the Ultra Boost is much more stable then previous models. Also, with the addition of Prime Knit not only does it look better, but it's much more breathable. Only downfall is that the Boost material is impossible to clean. Once you get it dirty there is no cleaning it. Great shoe though....Buying another pair now! ... read more
Adidas missed a great opportunity with this shoe. Remember its $180. Woven upper and fit are great. Sockliner is cheap , poor quality for a $180 shoe. Midsole profile and road feel are flat. The added eva in other boost styles greatly improves the feel of the boost compound. Outsole wear is maybe the worst of any quality shoe Ive run in, visible abrasion and wear after one 5 mile run. Im not sure why they chose not to use the superior Continental rubber compound used in other models. Bottom line, Adidas cut corners , over priced an inferior product. ... read more
I've been a big fan of the boost line since it arrived on the market, and the Ultra Boost are no exception. At first when I tried them on I thought they were too small, but once you start running in them they contour to your foot. It does take some getting used too, but the break in time is very quick. They do run true to size. I did not have to order a larger size like I had too with the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I did find the Ultra Boost less clunky feeling. I'm a heel striker and the transition from heel strike through the gait cycle to toe off was super smooth. The fit is really nice. It is snug but allows more flex than the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I noticed a great improvement in the traction. The Boost return on these are incredible !!! As I became tired on a long run, the return energy really helped a lot and I found my self not having to struggle as much as I became more tired as my run went on. There is a definite improvement in the cushioning ! It is a softer ride like the Supernova Boost 7 and Response Boost, but it's not squishy or too firm. Seems like they nailed it just right !!! Are these the best running shoe ever ? That's up for you to decide, what I can say is that the Ultra Boost is going to be very difficult for the competition to beat ! I read in some other reviews that the heel was not comfortable... I did not encounter any discomfort at all. I will be using these for my regular trainers and for an up coming 3K run. The materials have a nice sturdy feel to them. I only have a few nit pick negatives.. The laces are thin in width. I wish they were wider like the Supernova Boost 7, how ever it did not hinder performance at all. Next is the steep price. It would have been nice if there was a more friendly price tag on the Ultra Boost or maybe include a free Boost T-shirt or carry bag. ... read more

Montreal developer creates unforgettable chills with 'Outlast'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
You are trapped. You walk quietly down a desolate corridor of Mount Massive Asylum, desperately trying to find an exit. The half-lit halls are polluted with signs of decay and violence.
As you round a corner, the path in front of you is pitch dark. Gasping in fear, you raise your camcorder to your eye, turning on its night vision to see what's ahead. A few steps in the murky black you see him. The hulking brute who wants to rip you to shreds. You have no weapons, no way to defend yourself.
There is only one option. You run for your life.
In an era where "survival horror" games are a dime a dozen, "Outlast" — the new PC and PlayStation 4 title from Montreal-based developer Red Barrels — is something truly different. A first-person game set in a horrific asylum of the damned, "Outlast" generates more genuine scares during its relatively short length than most big-budget horror titles put together. Its success comes as a triumph for its creators, for whom the game represents a big step in artistic independence.
"We've tried to do a horror game before, while we were at Ubisoft Montreal back in 2008, but the upper management wasn't interested," Phillippe Morin, co-founder of Red Barrels, said in an e-mail interview with Toledo Free Press. "So, when we stared our own company, we just decided it was time to do it. I guess we were looking for something we hadn't tried before, but at the same time would allow us to leverage the expertise we've learned while working on action-adventure games.
"For a few months, we worked on what we call a Fake Game Footage, which became our trailer. It helped us shape our vision for the game and also it became an important tool to find money and partners."
The creation of Red Barrels was an important step for Morin and his fellow founders, David Chateauneuf and Hugo Dallaire. While working at one of the biggest software companies in the world, they found themselves increasingly frustrated by the process of developing a new game franchise — "IP" in industry shorthand.
"We were working together at EA Montreal on a new IP. When the project got canceled, we figured it was life's way to kick our butt," Morin said of the circumstances surrounding Red Barrels' founding. "So, we resigned around January 2011 and we started working on 'Outlast.' It took us 18 months to find the budget. Most of the money came from the Canada Media Fund. The rest came from our own pockets."
Between them, Red Barrels' three leads have had hands in some of the biggest titles of the past decade — "Prince of Persia," "Assassin's Creed," "Uncharted," "Splinter Cell." But the larger the games got, Morin said, the more difficult making progress could be.
"When you become a senior developer in a big studio, you end up doing more management and meetings. You spend more time talking about the game than making it. We wanted to go back to a small team development style, so we could work on our game without having to spend an enormous amount of time managing huge teams or waiting for the upper management to make a decision."
The resulting title is something remarkable, a sort-of "found footage" horror game where players fight for their lives in an expansive mental hospital where unspeakable things have happened — and continue to. The mechanics of the title enhance the feeling of helplessness, as players have only their camcorder's night vision to help themselves find their way through the barely-lit halls, and if you run out of batteries, you're as good as dead.
"We did a lot of playtests," Morin said. "One thing we found out was the players would use their night vision a lot more than necessary. That meant we had balance batteries really well. From a visual perspective, we work out the environment so it fits the atmosphere we're looking for, than we revisit based on gameplay needs and playtests results."
Adding to the tension is how defenseless the player is. Your character cannot fight back against any of the horrific creatures roaming the corridors — if spotted, your only hope is to run and hide. "We liked the purity of this design choice," Morin said. "It allowed us to focus on the player's emotions, instead of game mechanics."
Later this month, a new downloadable add-on to "Outlast" — "Whistleblower" — will be released, deepening the story of what happened at Mount Massive and giving players another jolt of terror. As far as the future, Morin said that after "Whistleblower" is released, he and his fellow creators have grander plans — both long and short term.
"We still have lots of ideas for another horror game, but first — vacations!"

"Anybody have any experience using the oath gem without net/http? There are some things we want to do that it's not good at"
Like posting large files? Shell out to curl. There are a couple things nobody seems to have done right, yet, and that you just have to use curl for.
"What is the right gem to use for AWS? The official one seems newer than this right_aws that hasn't had a commit in a couple years"
You are probably looking at the wrong version. Another project was using right_aws and they swear it's newer than that. It sounds like the gem forked and you probably want the RightScale one. Either way it definitely works better than Amazons ec2 gem, which will get the job done sometimes, but is less than optimal.
Testing right_aws with webmock
A team was seeing webmock continuing to feed a bad result to all of their tests (within a timeout for the shared connection) when one failed, instead of trying again. They switched to using connection=dedicated instead of shared.

Leave it to the Japanese to release the world's first edible iPhone case made from a rice cracker. Ignoring the glaringly obvious fact that rice crackers are not typically known for their durability, the 'Survival case' can either be eaten or used as a starter for a roaring fire (after the iPhone is removed, of course) if the need arises.

Champagne Cheese Crepes combine sweet cheese and cherries...and a drop of Champagne.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cereals, Pancakes & Waffles
Crepini Café
Sweet Crepes & Savory Crepes Make Special Occasions Easy
|Sweet Crepes
|Savory Crepes
|Blueberry Ginger Twist
|Four Cheese Basil
|Caramel Apple
|Feta Olivier
|Champagne Cheese
(with cherries)
|Greenwich Spinach
|Hazelnut Raisin
|Herbed Crab Mango
|La Dolce Vita
(dark chocolate and Grand Marnier)
Where should you start? In general, we liked the more robust-tasting crepes, that were so flavorful that no sauce or other topping was required.
Feta Olivier, garnished with seasoned olives from McSweet's Gourmet Olive Bliss, and Mediterranean Feta from Nikos. Rolled crepe photos by Claire Freierman.
The company also sells plain ("Naked") crepes if you want to fill your own.
For dessert, these Caramel Apple Crepes were
ready in minutes. We sautéed apples in butter and sugar in advance, and heated them in the microwave while the crepes were cooking in the skillet. We added caramel sauce from The King's Cupboard.
Cooking Your Crepes
It's easy to turn out the crepes. Just lift them from the box and place them:
We tried all three techniques. While it's a bit more caloric and creates more aroma in the kitchen, we preferred the results of sautéing in a skillet with butter. The crepes got crispy, which we liked, and the unsalted butter added nice flavor.
At the end of the day—or evening—we're thrilled to have found Crepini Café. Delicious crepes in minutes aren't easy to come by. They're a special-occasion treat, and a charming gift for any food-loving friend.
CREPINI CafÉ
You'll note on the website that the crepe photos are in the "blini" style, as in the photo at the top of this review. We prefer the rolled style, as shown in the rest of the photos in this review—they taste the same, but look more elegant.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by maryK Comfy and Sexy I have been looking this exact type of shoes forever and purchased these right away as soon as they came out on free people! I wore these out the first time and my feet did not even hurt one bit and received so many compliments! Definitely my favorite pair of shoes at the moment and on my 6th pair of JCs. 10.31.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by erka Amazing! Got these in red and have received SO many compliments! A great statement shoe, that isn't that terrible to walk in! Pretty comfortable but definitely runs a little narrow, so I would recommend to those with longer, thinner feet. One of the best purchases you will ever make. 11.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sinead090895 Love love love! I was sure to email before had to ensure I was ordering the right size for my feet as I do not know US sizing compared to NZ sizing, especially in this shoe. I was happy to receive a fast and accurate reply as well as amazing customer service and recieved these beatutiful baby's in a 9 a few days ago! Love! xxx 5.10.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by klaymao AGHHH I was SO upset! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL BUTTTTTTTT it is as if the heel "cuff" type thing that the ankle is attached to is too long so it creates a lot of room between your heel and the back of the show (keep in mind I ordered half a size smaller due to the previous suggestions on the reviews" Anyway... if you're willing to suffer and possibly break your ankle in the name of beauty -- HAVE FUN! 4.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JeriLynn I wish they felt more snug These size 10s are going back . I will just have to wait for the 9.5s to come in and give those a try . The length was perfect in the 10s, but the toe box , ankle strap and heel pocket all were loose on me . I will admit , i do have a long skinny foot. 2.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by misstee Great looking platform The name says it all....this is "the perfect platform". It is both sexy and super comfortable! I can walk and stay in this shoe for hours.. However, order 1/2 size down from your normal size as the shoe runs a tad large. Enjoy!! 12.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sheebzzz red i just got these yesterday and my expectations...blown away. super comfortable, don't hurt your feet while walking either. the only thing was i had to poke several more holes in the strap since i have small ankles. true to size as well. love j.c such a good brand. and their shoes last if treated properly =) 9.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by susiejyoung Beautiful with a large fitting. These shoes are pieces of architecture. They are sturdy and flattering. I can't wait to wear them. However they are too big! I am a size 7 yet these feel a whole size too big. I'm waiting on an exchange and when I get it I will be in shoe heaven because they look like the most comfortable platforms anyone could ever wear! 8.31.2012

@Australian brothers & sisters....
Can you provide any tips to us Canadians who are planning to purchase an iPad 2 online tonight? Tips on how to ensure your order gets processed for sure??
Can you for instance fill out anything in the purchasing process before the planned 1AM opening??
Anything would be greatly appreciated!
International iPad 2 online orders going live, already 2-3 week wait for shipping
It's March 25 in Australia and that means international iPad 2 online orders have begun going live... but with a 2-3 week estimate on shipping. Other online stores are also up now, like Canada and UK, but simply list iPad 2 as currently unavailable at the moment (that should change as 1am rolls around in those time zones -- though we still don't know if Canada will be PDT or EDT.)
We'll keep an eye on the shipping estimates in case anything changes. What's your local availability? Has anyone ordered yet?
(If you're having trouble deciding if you want an iPad 2, check out our iPad 2 buyers guide and full on iPad 2 review.)

International iPad 2 online orders going live, already 2-3 week wait for shipping
@Australian brothers & sisters....
You're not able to fill in anything until the store actually says it is available and you choose a model to continue. The best you can do is make sure your account info is all udated with your address and payment info so that as soon as they become availalbe you can select the model/extra acessories and process.
it is saying you cant order it yet so i think that must have been an error
I is all a gigantic hoax. Apple probably sent 10k ipad 2 to each of the countries to be sold in the first few hours in store, and maybe a handful to be sold online, just so they can claim it was launched on MAR 25, and the launch as a big success. And then they will string online and store shoppers along for weeks without any decent supply volume.
I live in Oslo Norway, and 5 hours ago, I got a phonecall from the premium reseller Humac, (We dont have actual Apple Stores here) that they were haddy to CONFIRM my 64Gig Black 3g iPad2, and that I can pick this up tomorrow between 5 and 8!
Seems I can call myself lucky, considering all the hardship everyone in the US seems to be having. The iPad has been available for preorders here since the Apple Keynote(!)
Seems all the norwegian resellers have been using preorders. Is this not the case anywhere else??
This is worrying about the 2-3 week wait considering we have not even had a chance to order yet. I have seen pictures of Orange staff unloading a decent stock to one of their shops so there may be more shop stock than everyone is anticipating.
New Zealand was meant to be first in the international pecking order as it is a minimum of 2 hours ahead of eastern Ozzie time. Interesting that Jamc888 says they went live early. Someone was a bit tardy in mission control because they didn't update the NZ store till 2:20am. Shipping for all products was given as 2-3 weeks. Order confirmation says 15th April.
finland store still not live despite local time being 1:18am
German store is also not live with ipad2, and it is past 1 AM there. By the looks of it Apple had never planned to sell a single ipad online with immediate delivery. frankly I find that phony. If they paint the tape al over the place with a big 1 AM store launch they better have actual merchandise available for shipping within 2 or 3 days. everything else is false advertising.
I will definitely not order anything if it may or may not ship in 3 weeks, and then ad up to 8 days of shipping.
Apple is just aiming for a cool news headline and long line up pictures, but they are completely unprepared and seem to care little that customers actually want to buy. Just gunning for the big headline
Had they cared, then they would have limited sales to 1 ipad per person, and weeded out Chinese gangs from buying up 10s of thousands of devices. This would not only have alleviated the demand pressure, but also dried up the rampant black market for ipads.
But hey, its Apple, and they never really cared for that, as long as the new device is thinner and faster as the last one Steve is happy...
just ordered in uk but 2-3 week wait. Going to try my luck at the stores tommorrow. TERRIBLE launch once again by apple!!!!
Yes, Apple germany also launching with 2-3 week wait. This is the fakest launch I have ever seen. They should have had the decency to at least have a few hundred for immediate sale to save face.
So except for a few thousand unit per country, there is no actual launch. They would have done better, by being honest about the shortages and delaying the launch outside of the US.
This launch was only good for a dark place where the "sun dont shine"...Trying to keep it decent in this forum :)
In UK now getting "An error has occurred during your session. Please return to the Store Menu to continue shopping." but am retrying. Dunno if it's a 1am thing but looking above it seems it could be another cause
Still getting nowhere and now the site is going screwy crashing out at random places, running slow and getting my cart wrong
According to Twitter using 1-click-order works. And it seems to - I now have my order number - however I'm dubious until I see confirmation. And looking at the small print I see that there's a 90 minute cooling off period so it seems that all I've managed is an order sometime after 2:50am
i think i managed to order 2 as the first didnt show up in my order history.... Hopefully they will show up soon so I can cancel one. Still not showing either.
in uk and delivery date is 2-3 weeks. Got a print of my order second time around. Used one click order if that is any help.
just went on site again and I could order again no probs if I wanted. Not sure what your issues could be.
Including Place Order Now? or just filling your basket?
Which country are you in?
Not sure about placing order as I didnt want to get a third one. Still not showing up in order history though but as I said I have the order number printed for the second one so I should be good to go.
Getting exactly what you got. Trying again and getting same thing. Even though I got a web order number the View 1-click orders shows nothing and order status is also empty.
On the Canadian store, even at 1 AM exactly it wasn't available. I refreshed the page every ten seconds (literally) and at around 1:13 it finally allowed me to select it. But: it said that it would be AVAILABLE, not shipping, in two to three weeks.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by jaquelindenise Love but would have loved more if.... My only complaint.... FP you really need to know this by now, iv read so many reviews that mention items not being the same. I really wanted jade green but i got turquoise. I like turquoise a lot and i love love love this necklace, i just wish it would have been green, or that FP would update the info to match the product. We FB customers, we "invest" (that's my nice way of saying overpay) a lot of the time for what the quality is. sometimes the quality is worth the price sometimes its not. My point is, don't disappoint us. 2.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by valskerie So Charming! I ordered this with the cross pendant and absolutely love it! I wear it with so many of my FP outfits, I really need to get another style... You will not be disappointed! 7.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Turquoise Lariot This cute turquoise charm necklace looks exactly like what is pictured. I love the beach motif with the tiny silver seahorse and starfish, and the matte gold shell-impressed charm is really sweet and has a nice weight to it. The seed beads are real glass and not plastic, and the turquoise stone is a real stone. It looks great with just about anything I have in my closet, and since it has both silver and gold in it, I can easily mix in my other jewelry. With the toggle, you can even double up the necklace to make it higher on your neckline. I found that I can also cinch it around my waistline if I'm wearing a crop top. I'm impressed with what I received for $38! 3.17.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JustJen0117 Would be a home run if..... ....the color matched up on the Buddha pendant. Picture shows a lovely jade green. What I got was a bright turquoise color and not at all similar. The rest of the necklace is exactly the same and it's a hefty piece. I'll keep it because I love the way it hangs. I also ordered the wooden ankh pendant. It's exactly as pictured. Not as heavy but I expected that to be the case. 2.9.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by vaughanai1 one of my favorite accessories This necklace is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. It goes with almost anything and it gets tons of compliments. The only problems is that it twists a little bit and it snags a few of my shirts. 2.19.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by WinterLabrador Surprised So I bought this on accident after I meant to buy the version with the horn... and I ended up keeping this because it is so cute on and the chain itself is quite sturdy. It grew on me quickly. So I'm not returning it because I ended up loving it. The weight and the chains certainly kept me from exchanging it for the horn which was my original plan. it's so cute on and I'm surprised with how cute it looks on me. 1.6.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mandykincannon Beautiful! I purchased this piece in oxidized. It is a great silver piece for any jewelry collection. The beaded segment does not have as much weight to it as the chain, so it doesn't lay quite the same. I love the mixed media, though. Thinking of buying the gold with the snake on it. 10.22.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by cngisblvg Charmed Lariot Pendant The photo of this item looked so beautiful that I bought it for my daughter for her birthday. I have never been this disappointed by anything I've ever bought online before. It looked very cheap and nothing like the photo. Total waste of $40. However, the bracelets I bought I was very thrilled with. 8.27.2013

You heard right.
Eighteen months from now Thierry Breton, CEO of Atos—one of the largest information technology companies in the world, plans to have eliminated email as a communication and collaboration medium within his company. "If people want to talk to me, call or send me a text message," said Breton. "Emails cannot replace the spoken word."
According to an article written by Peter Allen in the Daily Mail, Atos' nearly 80,000 employees in 42 countries will have stopped using email eighteen months from now and will have replaced it with social media tools, the telephone and face-to-face conversations. Should you read this and assume that Breton is a 30-something young maverick trying to make a statement, you'd be wrong. The 56-year old chief executive is the former French finance minister who believes that only 20 out of every 200 emails received by his staff every day turn out to be important.
"[E]mail is no longer the appropriate tool," said Breton. "It is time to think differently."
Breton cites a number of examples of how email wastes time including:
- The "deluge" of information that plagues organizations
- The need to review "useless" emails and the time it takes to get focused again on important tasks
- The "pile" of email that employees end up sorting through after hours and the associated drain on employees' personal time
What's more "Mr. Breton pointed to a recent study by the business watchdog ORSE, which reads: Reading useless messages is terrible for concentration, as it takes 64 seconds to get back on the ball after doing so," writes Allen. "Poorly controlled, the e-mail can become a devastating tool."
Email is such an integrated and ubiquitous part of how most organizations get work done that I'm not sure completely eliminating it from our cadre of communication tools is practical, but I am very interested in Breton's implication that social media-like instant messaging has the same value as "the spoken word."
I'm a big fan of anything that will help teams collaborate more naturally—and social media tools have demonstrated they can do that. What's more, I don't think it's only younger members of the workforce who are seeing the benefit of a social media approach (as the 56-year old Breton demonstrates).
Writing for The Telegraph, Henry Samuel writes, "The younger generation have already all but scrapped the email, with only 11 percent of 11 to 19 year-olds using it, according to silicon.fr, and online social networking is now more popular than email and search."
Although I don't want to be a focus group of one, I find myself using (and often preferring) a text message or other social-media interaction to email for some communication. I have a number of friends and colleagues around the world with whom a text or Facebook message is our preferred way to interact.
"Companies must prepare for the new wave of usage and behavior," said Breton. I agree.
Thirty years ago, I would never have imagined how personal computers, smart phones and the Internet would have impacted my life. I must admit, I didn't take email seriously when I first started using it . Now, I probably spend more time using my smart phone for email or to text than as a telephone—I don't think I'm alone.
I agree with Mr. Breton, email is not the most efficient way for teams to collaborate. Everyone has experienced the email thread that gets lost or buried, the person that needed to be included on the thread that wasn't or the critical email that was accidentally deleted. The social media metaphor demonstrates a lot of promise as a vehicle for collaboration (provided we can keep the conversation focused on work—projects, issues and tasks). However, saying that, the lines between an individual's work life and personal life are becoming blurred.
