Cingular May Launch 3G In Fewer Cities

Comparing Cingular to Verizon's like comparing Coke to Pepsi, or Republicans to Democrats (You Americans and your silly political parties!)

Though, working for Cingular, I'm not a fan of how they handle business nor their policies. But I'm a Verizon Wireless customer, so it might just be my biased. Or it might be me hating my workplace; chances are, if I worked so close to Verizon's policies, I'd hate 'em too.

Their 3G delay is probably a smart move. Gives 'em time to work out bugs before they launch it nationwide. Still gonna piss some tech geeks off, though.

Let it piss the tech geeks off. Cingular's bread and butter is the mainstream populace, just like any other carrier.

Let it piss the tech geeks off??? Do you really think the "main populace" is smart enough to use a 3G network?? The main populace typically consists of people calling in to ask me why they don't have a dial tone on their cell phone. The main populace isn't going to be supporting cingular's 3G network.

Wow.

For claiming such intellegent superiority there above the average subscriber, you totally don't know how to read.

Piss of the geeks == those who actually care that the 3G network's being deployed. Not, piss off the geek == the people who work in call centers.

So let's get this straight: Of the 50 million customers Cingular services, you believe the majority to be tech geeks? Oh-ho...tee...heehee...

P.S. The main populace supports Cingular right now, bucko.

This is not about tech geeks. The majority of 3G users are going to be businesses.

"cingularians"

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I prefer "the spawn of satan" 😈

Its because the cingularians like to hate Verizon. We are just giving it back. I don't participate very much but I would go to Sprint and T-Mobile before I would even consider Cingular. And lord knows I would never go anywhere near Nextel. But there a lot of people on these forums who like to say bad things about Verizon. When in reality every Cell phone company is "bad" Everybody has gotten screwed over by any company. I can't stand it when anybody says oh you shouldn't go with company A or B because they screwed me over and I hate them so you should hate them too. I haven't had any customer service issues with Verizon Wireless. It might be because I am in the business and know my way around certain things, but I am happy with my ca...

In what experience? It has always been hate directed at Verizon Wireless, because they were the largest and most reliable network. The way it works with cell phones is that the whole industry is a crap shoot. Its all about odds. When there was an AT&T they had the worst odds for their phones to work. Verizon still has the best odds for there phones to work. Does that mean that everybody who has Verizon well be happy? No. Two people can have the same phones standing in the same spot and have different experiences. Does that mean that everybody had problems with AT&T? No. But more people had problems with AT&T then they did with Verizon wireless. If my phone didn't work with Verizon Wireless where I work and live and somebody else's ...

i'd like to see your friends bill, he probably started using way too many minutes and before you know it he was out of rollover.
your an idiot if you cannot comprehend how the minutes work. you rollover unused minutes every month, you expire minutes every 12 months. example, you rollover 100 minutes every month and never use ANY of your rollover minutes, on the 13th month 100 minutes will expire. you lose your oldest minutes first, and you also use your oldest minutes first. it is a rolling drop also.
i think your dumb new every 2 is stupid and hard to comprehend. and how about having to renew for 2 years when you want to change you rate plan?

ATTWS had the experience of what DoMoCo learned with their UMTS network, because DoMo had a stake in ATTWS. That partnership no longer exists.

Yeah, but they have Lucent. Lucent has a better track record with cdma than anyone. Not only that, DoCoMo's UMTS was partially done by Lucent.
