downloadsquad.com — Rumors that Apple is wearing the pants a little too often in their iPhone relationship with AT&T have received a boost, now that the wireless carrier seems to have stopped promoting the pricey phone on their main page barely a month after its June 29th launch.

This made the main page only because the title said "iPhone" and "AT&T." Guarantee it.The iPhone is still there. Buried as inaccurate.

No, you don't. 220 kbps is on the high end of what people are getting. My personal best is about 212 kbps. To *average* 250 kbps, you'd have to exceed 250 kbps on a regular basis, and that just isn't happening on EDGE.Signed,Fellow iPhone owner

What the blogger may have "discovered" is that the iPhone isn't available in the online store? Once you're in AT&T Wireless's site, if you click the "Shop" button, it's not featured, and it's not in the catalog (seen easily if you show all and sort price high to low). But, as far as I know, it's never been available online from AT&T, so this shouldn't be "raising eyebrows". However, it is on the home page of <a class="user" href="http://www.att.com,">http://www.att.com,</a> the home page of <a class="user" href="http://www.wireless.att.com/,">http://www.wireless.att.com/,</a> and the Wireless Personal home page as well. From anywhere in the site, clicking the top left AT&T logo takes you to <a class="user" href="http://www.wireless.att.com/home/">http://www.wireless.att.com/home/</a> featuring a giant swirling iPhone. But it's not in the online shop, it's "available at AT&T retail stores".

Update at Download Squad:"As readers are pointing out, the iPhone is appearing in various other, though sometimes obscure, areas of AT&T's site. We stated in our post that this could simply be nothing, so that fact should probably be reiterated given that this does seem to be a false alarm. Guess the version of the site in our screenshot could have easily been a fluke, capped in the middle of a redesign or who knows what else. Thanks for keeping us on our game everyone, as for now, there doesn't seem to be anything else to see here. Let's all move along."

I bought an iPhone and it killed my girlfriend. Darn you aapl! All I wanted to do was get a little calimari (that's what, squid?) and the phone blew up in her precious little hand. So...very...sad. Oh well, life goes on.

Nothing, they already said it twice.
