iPhones Are Really Coming To Vermont?
An article released in today’s Burlington Free Press announces that the sale of Unicel to Verizon has finally been approved. Verizon is in turn selling a number of Unicel locations in Vermont to AT&T. This means that in the coming months Vermonters should be able to easily obtain the iPhone. Until this announcement, Vermont iPhone users have had to buy their phones and contracts out of state.
As usual, the cell phone companies have kept pretty tight lipped about the entire deal, and when it will be final. They aren’t releasing much information, and AT&T is still not officially saying they are starting up services in Vermont, stating “It’s premature to comment on any deal…” “The process is still under way,” AT&T spokesman David Mancuso said, furthering, “until everything is done, nothing is done. He goes on, “if we do come into Vermont, we want to do it in the right way.”
Here at Small Dog Electronics we have been fielding many phone calls from excited Vermonters hoping to now walk into our stores and purchase a phone. At this time, we are still not selling the iPhone, but it could be a possibility for the future as more information is released from the service providers. We do offer a large selection of iPhone accessories, including items for the newest 3G model. We will be tracking this story as more information becomes available!
And for our local readers, Small Dog’s own David Boyd is featured in today’s article in the Burlington Free Press about the latest iPhone news… Check it out!
