Does anyone know if Cingular covers Cell Phone Anointing?

I LOL'd at that rottenseed.

I don't remember hearing much about Nextel during that time either. I do remember that it took FOREVER for my Cingular service to come back online.

The American Cable Association, Cellular Telecommunications Association, National Cable and Telecommunications Association, U.S. Telecom Association, AT&T, BellSouth, Cingular, Comcast, Qwest, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Verizon Wireless and Wireless Communications Association International make up the entire "membership" of NetCompetition.org. http://www.netcompetition.org/docs/about/#members

AT&T, then Cingular, now AT&T again give you a detailed listing with every text message you send and recieve, but her data plan with the iPhone probably gives her unlimited messages, so really it's just a complete waste. Multiply this times a good number of new iPhone purchases and some paper mill somewhere had a really good month.

almost like returning a favor after approving that merger of at&t and cingular , nah our government is that bad , right?

They just keep trying don't they? If I were a customer of AT&T Verizon (Cingular) or Comcast, I'd cancel my service and tell 'em why..

No doubt,farhad, and the renewed faith of all may be, that there exist,those not bound to useless feudal philo-religio-indoctrino-baggage to the point of a cingularity bound for destruction....that of one more life lost, the result of action/reaction reflex...(monkey-headed), as most seem inclined....


so,... how do the children lead??
Or, better, enjoy the rebuild, on bones and ashes....

survival is pinnacle, if we want to retain the progress, as is, status quo, untill, a singularity....as long as there are two humans left, well, do some math, no quite as fast as bunnies, but, give us a lab

Yes, only 1/3 of US customers use Cingular right now. Did it ever occur to you that maybe part of their plan it to capture a lot more?

The partnerships in all this were interesting:

Apple+Disney+Paramount+Google+Yahoo+Cingular(AT&T)

And in the keynote, the theme was let each part of the partnership be good at what it is good at.

Oh yeah - I'm one of the new Apple "fanboys" sucked in by the iPod, and I'm sure that my segment is as annoying to longtime Mac devotees as the new fans that flock to an established band when they have a radio hit are to their longtime followers.

Still, I can't believe that Apple will keep this Cingular-only for long. Sure, they're claiming that they're "different", and they have won some concessions from Cingular, for sure (especially, apparently, in redoing their network to accommodate that drool-worthy visual voicemail system). Still, I can't imagine that they wouldn't open it up to the rest of the market (Cingular subscribers make up less than a third of the cell phone market in the U.S.), and since they're releasing in Europe, we know that an unlocked (or at least differently-SIMmed) version is possible.

Really, dotdude? Are you sure he wasn't mistaken? From what I heard (although I can't find an attribution right now, which means it may be rumor or made-up), these were going to be sold both in Cingular stores and by Apple (apple.com & b&ms). If this "dealer" were a reseller (like your local "we know Macs" store that's not an Apple Store), then maybe so. Either way, I'm waiting for them to be unlocked, at the least, before I buy one. Even possibly the hottest piece of fetish-worthy tech of my adult life isn't worth switching to Cingular for.

The Apple dealer at a Mac meeting Tuesday night pointed out that sales of this phone will be through Cingular, so he won't be selling these.

That's OS X running on that iPhone. That's touchscreen technology including scrolling and size manipulation of images, etc.

Besides Cingular (AT&T), Yahoo (e-mail) and Google (Google Maps) are involved.

Tempted to downvote for cingular/gsm only and no Canadian carrier, but the geek in me won't allow that.
