Want To Get Away From iPhone? Try Vermont

Or Maine.  Huge parts of New Mexico.

Since Cingular Wireless (soon to be AT&T) has an exclusive on Apple’s new iPhone in the U.S., you won’t be able to purchase one unless you live in a Cingular coverage area.  And the coverage map doesn’t always reflect this reality.  Much of the coverage area on the map reflects roaming agreements Cingular has with other carriers.

That means your iPhone will work when you visit those areas.  But Cingular will not allow you to sign up for their service (or buy an iPhone) if your residence address is in an area that has only roaming coverage from another carrier.

And in areas without higher-speed EDGE data service you might lose patience with iPhone’s web browser.

For those of us who couldn’t care less about the new iPhone - we think Vermont is nice this time of year.
