AT&T Now Offering Useless Car Charger With iPhone Purchase
9:02 pm, December 27th, 2008, Pete Mortensen
Competition in the cell phone industry is legendarily cut-throat. The major carriers will do whatever they can to retain and induce people to sign long-term contracts ad buy new phones. This often includes ludicrous stunts and special offers that ultimately deliver little value.
That’s especially true with a wonderful little deal AT&T is offering right now with the purchase of an iPhone 3G. With your two-year contract and at-least-$200 investment, you’ll receive this handsome (?) car charger for Steve’s Amazing New Device worth almost $10!
Except you won’t. It’s only compatible with the original iPhone. (a Consumerist informant claims this is an inventory-clearing tactic) This is especially funny, because I can’t imagine someone deciding to take the iPhone plunge because of a crummy car adapter. The iPhone has broken most of the rules of the cell phone upgrade cycle, mainly by making OS upgrades and the addition of new applications a mandatory part of owning a cell phone.
What’s not a part of owning a phone anymore? Crappy plastic add-ons used as inducements to the purchase of an over-priced and under-delivering phone from Motorola.

What are you talking about? I have this same adapter and it works fine with my 3G!!
John, on December 28th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I too have this same adapter and it works with my 3G also
all these news sites are showing this story and their basis is one guy
anyone ever thought that maybe his adapter was just bad????
Andrew Mastro, on December 28th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
i thought the original iphone had the same dock port as the 3g, or, in fact, any current ipod? why would this charger not work with a 3g? consumerist (like most gawker blogs) is so full of crap sometimes it’s not even funny.

In the ATT store, they offer the car charger with usb port for us to buy so also my husband can charge his sony ericson cellphone, a great deal!.
Well, the usb does not work so I’m using my old ipod classic car charger for the iphone, and I will return the useless car charger to ATT.
Really disappointed!
