The new ATT phones
I am noticing alot of the new phones from att are GSM 1900. Will the "New Cingular" be only 1900 GSM or will they keep ATT 850 GSM?
AT&T Wireless and Cingular both use both bands. The new Cingular will continue using both bands. The reason is that they own major spectrum licenses in both bands. To not use half of that spectrum would be letting a multi-billion-dollar asset go to waste.
1900-only phones have already been phased out by both companies (except the MPx200). All future models for both companies, and post-merger, will support both bands.
