AT&T Mobility today announced that it will launch iPhone(TM) 3G at company-owned retail stores in Vermont.
The launch of iPhone 3G is made possible by AT&T Mobility's December 2008 acquisition of Unicel assets in Vermont. The company has been installing its systems and training employees at its ten legacy Unicel stores across the state to begin offering the full slate of AT&T Mobility products and services -- including the highly anticipated iPhone 3G -- on January 15.
"iPhone 3G will arrive for AT&T Mobility customers in Vermont on January 15th," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager of the company's New England operations. "We are committed to offering the most innovative products and services to our customers, and we are pleased to be part of this great milestone in our market."
