i currently have att tdma, but my phone broke so i need a new one. since i am off contract, i have the ability to go whereever for a low fee.

att tdma and gsm are the same price.
cingular is MUCH cheaper, with their rates about 30% cheaper for seemingly the same service. this is for the national roaming plan. while att has a service for the same price, it only covers THEIR system. cingular claims you can roam on anyones tower for the same price.

is this true? anything else i am missing? is gsm ready for prime time, especially in the bay area? it certainly want 1.5 years ago when i tried it, but thats a long time ago technology wise.

thanks for any feedback

I am not sure why anyone would stay with AT&T considering Cingular is about to own them. Just some feedback. GSM is better, I would go with it if I were you.
