Starting today, Cingular will start to publicly become AT&T in print, radio and television ads. Though not all existing adds will be changed immediately, you may start seeing the transformation. Also watch for signage changes at the Cingular stores, and on the billing and communications from Cingular.
So if you were a former AT&T Wireless customer, welcome back to the fold! Hehehe, once thing is for certain – the absolutely shitty service that the old AT&T Wireless service had prior to being bought by Cingular Wireless is, thankfully, only a painful memory.
So, what goes around, comes around – ‘ma bell’ is still around and is now you’re cell provider.

It must be the week of upgrades for Windows Mobile devices. Kevin Tofel over at jkOnTheRun has posted on the new firmware, and is pondering upgrading tonight.
If you are looking for links, jkOnTheRun also has them for you. Now I can’t wait for T-Mobile USA to release their ROM upgrade for the MDA – though I already have flashed my device to the Qtek ROM with MSFP (it rocks).
Have fun everyone!

Michael Oryl over at MobileBurn has posted a review on the MDA. As per Michael’s usual ‘MO’, his review is quite detailed, and full of great pictures of the device, camera samples, battery testing, etc. Michael always does a thorough review of the devices he writes about.
Highly recommended if you’re on the fence about buying an MDA (or Cingular 8125 for that matter).

Oliver over at Mobile Crunch has posted that they will be doing “head to head comparisons” of the current crop of mobile RSS readers. He mentions that they will be reviewing readers for both Windows Mobile and Symbian based phones.
Can’t wait guys – I’ve been using a Pocket PC based reader, so I’m curious to see how it compares to the other shipping software out there.

The Wireless Report has an interesting post about mobile and VoIP communications taking over the world. I agree that the trend is moving in that direction, but what is fascinating to me is how long our country takes to catch up to the rest of the world. Our providers and the media do a great job of covering up what new options there really are for us to use and move to. To save money and gain flexibility – it’s only the web-savy “power-users” and folks in the IT industry that are “in-the-know” as it were.
While I find this very disappointing, its good to see these options start to pick up here in the U.S. – and I think the traditional telephony providers are dreading this very trend. How they will fight it I’m not sure, but I’ll put forth my $.02 and suggest that they simply provide the fastest, cheapest, biggest communications pipe to my house. That is all I want from them, I’ll find my content places that are focused on content, not as a means to attract me as a broadband or infrastructure customer.
