Rumor Mill

what is the latest update on their merger/buyout? Does anyone have any CONCRETE information?

I'm a Cingular agent and I feel like AT&T is putting the squeeze on us. The grass looks pretty green on the Verizon and Sprint side of the fence. Is it any better or are all the carriers big bullies with one-sided contracts?

Alltel Corp. has added a news release to its Investor Relations website.

I'm getting confused. I was trying to research the upcoming Moto LAZR, because I heard it was coming out later this year. But now I'm seeing ads here for the RAZR2.

Now, is the RAZR2 the same as the LAZR? Or is it an upgrade to the now RAZR or RAZR Maxx?

Anyone have any information on it (release date, specs, pictures...etc).

Mucho gracias senors and senoritas.

Has anyone one here heard anything about the new T Mo Smartphone from HTC, the Herald. I've got the Dash now and I love it but this thing looks to be pretty promising.

Does anyone know when Cingular (AT&T) is planning a launch?? I want a new phone but want to wait for it if its not going to be too long.

don't fell like explaining here's the link:

Does anyone know when the IC 902's are coming out?

Does anyone know whether Alltel is planning on picking up the pearl or not?

Does anyone know what the successor to the Sprint PPC 6700 will be? I already know about the Treo 700W, but I like the larger screen and hide-away keyboard of the 6700

Verizon already was the largest carrier by revenue, and now they also have the largest subscriber base.

They steadily narrowed the gap for the last three years, and are now back in the lead. With unlimited text plans rolling out this month they are only going to expand that lead the rest of the year.

Why does Verizon's Customer Care tell ya different things than the actual Corporate stores? Shouldn't they be in agreement?

are the any new pocket pc phones like the samsung i730 but with a camera coming out any time soon?

Does anyone know if there is going to be a newer version of the 8525 coming out for cingular? I've seen the new version for T-mobile basically, but will there be anything for cingular soon? I'm debating whether or not to buy the 8525 now... I know it's gettin kinda old...

I have friends who often visit and some who live outside the country and some of the cell phones i c that they have are amazing. Some of them say that they have had phones that we get or similar like a year or 2 before us. i just don't understand y the so called greatest nation is just sooooooo slow when it comes 2 cell phone technology.

who has the most coverage, verizon or cingular?

rumor has it that alltel may go to a flat rate and charge only for the extras...ull get unlimited minutes , just pay for text and axcess and insurance and so on...if u know more please post it.....

My Verizon agent buddies are being encouraged to grow while Cingular agents are closing locations. Can Radio Shack save Cingular or is Cingular going to get passed after paying 40 Billion for AT&T? That would be humiliating! What do you think, will Verizon pass Cingular?

After complaining about NFL Mobile not being "available" on my new upstage phone, I was called today out of the blue by technical support and told that Sprint no longer offers NFL Mobile on the Powervision network. Even though yesterday when considering my options to change phones to get NFL mobile on a phone it was "available" on, I was shown all the phones that get it. . . so anyone know the truth about NFL Mobile on SPrint--ON april 2nd they advertised how great their draft coverage was gonna be on NFL Mobile--so I don't know if I"m getting the truth and I'm getting kind of fed up with SPrint.
