I got a similar e-mail regarding a Motorola phone. One thing that may be an
issue is that some people were trying to activate TDMA phones that were
previously on the Cingular network (or other TDMA network), not the AT&T
TDMA network, and some of these phones are not re-programmable except by
being physically hooked up to a computer. However in my area, Cingular never
had a TDMA network, all the TDMA phones were on AT&T, so this should not be
an issue.

Maybe they just find it easier to refuse everything but Nokia.
