AT&T offers a SIM-card only option
New AT&T customers are now able to purchase a SIM card only for $5.00 (after a $5.00 discount online). The aim is to let new customers use their existing "compatible" GSM phones on AT&T’s network, but here’s the catch – you still have to sign on for a two year contract!
I know AT&T is trying to appear more open as of lately, but seriously who are they fooling with this option? It doesn’t take the savviest customer to figure out a bad deal when they see one. A new customer would be better off getting one of the free phones that obviously already includes a SIM card and simply use that card in any compatible (unlocked) GSM phone on the market today. Not only would you save $5.00 but you get an extra phone to keep as a spare or sell on EBay and make a few bucks.
Maybe a $30 instant rebate to use the SIM card only option would make more sense - huh?
Our fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Three of the heaviest heavyweights take center stage in part one of this PhoneDog Dogfight. In this corner - the iconic iPhone 3G. In that corner - the "Windows Mobile with a cherry on top" HTC Touch Diamond. And in, uh, that corner - the super-spec'd Samsung Omnia. Whose cuisine will reign supreme? Noah's got the iPhone 3G and the old iPhone - the old one's jailbroken, unlocked, and running on T-Mobile. Side by side you can see how the unlocked version works just like the new one (minus 3G). All hail the iPhone-dev team! Also, check out the T-Zones hack for T-Mobile users! Another Internet speed test pitting four 3G phones against one another. The takeaway? 3G coverage is lousy in Oakland. Or ... Noah has no idea what he's doing. Noah puts Instinct and iPhone 3G head-to-head in a Web and speed battle. First is a raw download speed test, and then a few Web page load tests. Who won? Watch the video and find out ... The big news with the new iPhone is price, 3G, and the App Store.

As of yesterday I'm no longer using it, and have replaced it on my Home screen with a link to ESPN's iPhone-optimized mobile site. Why?1. This past Sunday I was hanging out with a Mets fan friend of mine. I used SportsTap to check the score of the Mets game - which baseball fans know was do-or-die (die,... Two Top 5 lists today. This first one is the Top 5 handsets I've actually gotten my paws on in some final or close to final form. The second will be the Top 5 I haven't used, or have only groped semi-functional demos of. Clear enough, right? Good, let's get started:

Hey, does anyone have ANY idea whether the Samsung Omnia is still coming to AT&T or just Verizon Wireless now?? will i be able to use a sidekick lx on at&t?
i heard after the battery dies you lose all your info. is that true or will it work fine on att?
i don't need internet or MMS i only need talk and text. PPl who have been using Att or some gsm networks which only supports quadband phones which is a bit tough to get ... I have found a site where you can find a huge quantity of phones which actually works with Att or similar networks ... and u can get them in this site -- myworldphone .com Does the LG CB630 Invision MediaFLO handset support the features of enjoying mobile TV only for U.S users? I got information from the gsmprofile that it will come only for the AT&T users. Can anybody say? I am really not sure, as i doubt anyone really is yet.The only thing i hope for is that the phone comes out on AT&T.I am in love with the phone already! i've been a LONG time waiting for touchscreen technology to come about (on phones and other devices) and so I was quite excited by the iPhone when it first launched (but was NOT about to get one due to my aversion to mad hype around Apple products... and the AT&T carrier).. so I waited for the inevitable iPhone competitor(s) to come about. I feel my patience (and budget) have bee rewarded with the Samsung Instinct which also just so... None - Verizon and Cingular are on different networks
Verizon CDMA
Cingular GSM
