OK so i was going to switch to cingular but not with the name change!
Here is an example
Hitler- german who killed thousands of JEws
now no one is named hitler.Why? because they remember his name and what it stood for!
This is how people will think of ATT! NO matter who owns it whatever it is still having the same name which gives people bad memories!
1st of all AT&T didn't kill thousands of people. 😳
2nd... It really is a name change! Stop getting all bent out of shape!!
I don't agree with it either. But they (cingy) feel that AT&T is a better name
I know people are upset, but come on! Comparing Hitler to Cingular's name change!! How ridiculous!
I'd be in the living room and someone calls me on my cell phone! Whats the point of paying extra money?

yeah bad example but like I said in the verizon forum were this was started people remember the name. Mostly my dads generation (he is 50 something). He has bellsouth and said as soon as the merger was approved he is not going to keep his local service. People who remember the old at&t won't care that it is no longer that company!
Well, see...
If your dad is 50 (something, sad you dont know his age) then he is from a generation we are not from. How can you make biased choices and views based on your fathers era? You cant. It wouldnt be right. Young people, 23 - 28 or so, we are our OWN generation. We were not alive during that time, so how can we judge a company for something it did ...

I don't think AT&T is the greatest company out there, and I'm somewhat annoyed that I work for them, but comparing them to Hitler? Wow. You should write bad prime time soaps for the WB (or whatever it's called now).
Personally, I think that it's far funnier to compare them to the Empire, and that Ed Whiteacre is Emperor Palpatine.

What I do wonder is if we will start selling home phone service out of our stores.
If you're in AT&T's home territory, then yes.
I think you all are missing the point big time.

Hitler was a last name. People would have to specifically have their names changed to so and so hitler in order to take this name. However Adolf is still a prevelent and thriving option in the world today.
I was about to point this out as well. There ARE still people with the last name of Hitler (I did a quick search to double check this, that everyone wasn't legally changing their name from Hitler). There ARE still people named Adolph, and I didn't have to do a search on this b/c a member of upper management here has that name. 🙂

Cingular is crap.
Yep! I'm sure me and the other 60M+ Cingular user agree with you on that one... 🙄
You keep saying Cingular is crap, but you fail to prove why. Whatever your reason might be, it will def be contradicted by Cingular's quarter results coming up in the next week or so... 🙄
