I am an "ATTWS" customer and I want this phone too! I like my current plan and don't want to switch to the "Cingular" network at this time.

Is this phone going to be made available to us?

Since the V551 is quad-band, it will be unlocked from Cingular. Since, you want to keep your AT&T plan, you will have to purchase the phone at retail which should be $300-$350. All you have to do is pop in your ATT sim card and you will then have voice. To add M-Mode you will have to get the phone flashed and or flexed with the latest software.

Now, if you want to migrate to Cingular, you can do so, and recieve a discount on the phone.

😡 Why wouldn't AT&T offer this model to their customers? Does anyone know if this is in the plans? AT&T and Cingular are afterall, now the same company.

you'll be able to buy the phone now, but not for use on your at&t wireless plan. you want a new phone? you have to buy a cingular phone and plan. you want a new plan? you have to buy a new cingular phone and plan. that's what www.newcingular.com says

I talked to ATTWS, today, regarding their plans to mesh with Cingular. As someone responded earlier in this thread, yes, early termination fees are waived if you decide to port to Cingular from ATT right now. However, ATTWS, particularlly for customers who have a significant amount of tenure with ATTWS, suggested waiting until after the 15th when both companies systems are merged. The tenure will be maintained. If you bail ship from ATTWS before the merger is complete, you'll lose your tenure. Tenure, in this case, offers much better discounts on products and services. Theoretically, after the 15th, all ATTWS customers will be getting Cingular's roll-over minutes and free mobile-to-mobile minutes, also.

So for now, I'm sticking with ATTW...

If your on ATT and you get the 551 with cingular is there the fees they charge for jumping to a new company? I would think not since they have merged under one company.
