Comments on: Renaissance Verizon Wireless Store Has “Temporarily Closed” Sign http://www.decaturmetro.com/2010/02/19/renaissance-verizon-wireless-store-has-temporarily-closed-sign/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Wed, 17 Sep 2014 04:55:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Carl http://www.decaturmetro.com/2010/02/19/renaissance-verizon-wireless-store-has-temporarily-closed-sign/#comment-30507 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:49:30 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-30507 That is an AT&T dealer (Wireless Etc.), just as Wireless Choice on E Ponce was a Verizon Wireless dealer. We also used to have a T-Mobile dealer (Estelle Networks) in the space now occupied by The Seen. Thankfully the “new” new AT&T requires dealers to prominently display their name, whereas the “old” new AT&T (and Cingular) allowed nearly full use of the company logo and only a tiny disclosure inside that this was a privately-owned dealer. Yet it’s clear that people still don’t understand the difference, as I’ve even heard people who were surprised that the “AT&T store” talked them out of an iPhone (when of course the iPhone is only sold through specific national retailers, not indirect dealers, so of course customers would be talked out of buying something the store doesn’t sell). If you are looking for a company-owned wireless store, we don’t have any in Decatur.

I am very, very, very fortunate to be in an industry that has managed to weather the recession better than most. Every day I go to work, I am thankful for having a job to go to.

And great pic, Flaka! For those who care, that was a toy version of the old Motorola classic, commonly referred to as a “brick” phone. It also did duty as a doorstop, tire chock and instrument of blunt force trauma.

Maybe I will trade phones, as the battery life on mine is getting limited and I think I might be able to find something smaller:

Those guys rock. They are fast, and friendly. Avoid the one by Borders on Ponce. The few times i have been there, it didn’t seem very busy, but they were very slow.
