AT&T and SonyEricsson want my t68i. No way!

Once I got home from our weekend away I found a fold-over card in the mail from AT&T. It described how I was so valuable a customer that they were going to give me a new phone to replace my t68i. Since I have been having some trouble with my phone (nasty reception, people not hearing me at all when I call them, etc.) I opened the card and found that not only were they offering to do this, my new T226 phone was already being shipped to me. Not only that, they were shipping a box for me to ship my old phone back for "disposal". Well, that was very interesting! They listed a web page with more information and they had a tool-free number.

OK. I'll bite. I went to the web site and found their comparison page. Those nasty mean people! They're trying to take away my Bluetooth! So, I called and waded through their voice-tree until I got to a live person. I asked her about the Bluetooth and what I should do. She responded that the new phone was a gift and that I could keep it and my existing phone. I asked if I could trade them both in for a lovely new T637, but I was rebuffed. :-\

Jeffrey over at Snapturtle has pretty much the same thing to say. Maybe we're the only ones, but I don't think so!
