Yuck, it’s official that it’s happening much sooner than many expected: According the the Wall Street Journal, AT&T is killing the Cingular brand as of Monday January 15th. What a terrible mistake in my opinion! “AT&T” is so 20th century. It just smacks of back-astardness to me. Makes me want to change carriers just to […]
A Cingular sales rep named Danny Orange posted to The Boy Genius Report yesterday about what he’s hearing from customers on the iPhone. This launch will be huge. I am a cingular sales rep and all we heard all day today were customers coming in and asking questions about the iphone. Many of the customers […]

BusinessWeek reports on Motorola’s plans to produce a line of handsets based upon the Razr V3. In case you somehow missed it (I’m not sure how you could have if you’re in the US and watch television, because Cingular carpet bombed the airwaves with Razr ads over the holidays), the V3 is a new top […]
In leaving Nokia, I had to give up my company owned 7610. This was a sad day indeed because it is a truly fantastic device IMO, but on the other hand losing the 7610 also presented me with an opportunity to revisit which features are most important to me and which handsets on the US […]
I helped someone switch carriers from Cingular to AT&T Wireless this week and I have to say it went fairly smoothly.
