Dr eagle why are you always so helpful :D , didn't Cingular just get alot of AT+t's towers? All i know is i am getting more Bars in places i didn't get any, so i guess this is a good thing, thought about switching but will stay w Cingular they've been good to me.
MikeVG hope you are having a great T Day Doc.

Just make sure you get a phone that is capable of both GSM 850 and GSM 1900. Then you will have more bars.
Cingular bought AT&T wireless and will be moving all their current customers in California and Nevada to the "Cingular Blue' network. That means basically you will be moving over to the old AT&T Wireless network. Because AT&T Wireless has 850 MHz spectrum that propagates better and penetrates buildings better, your service should be better.
T-Moblie is getting the keys to the old Cingular system shortly...

While I sometimes disliked things like power consumption and such, Motorola has always had the best Radio Frequency (RF) performance of any phones. I used to really like them until they decided not to make Digital phones in the early 90s. Then they were playing catch up for a long time... I think they caught up... :)

I'm still nursing my Digital Star-Tac along, I love that phone, even if it is outdated. None of the new phone have tripped my trigger, but the "Razor" looks interesting, to bad it's Cingular...

What works good in Arizona at least the Parker area is the old AT&T ..TDMA..service which they still have they just don't advertize it OR give the good promotions with it,The GSM Service doesnt work which is the same as Cingular service.I have AT&T mainly for the Parker service,The wife has Cingular because I work for SBC who owns Cingular. :)

with AT&T and Cingular joining up, I'm hoping the service increases bit time, we'll see

I've had Cingular for more than 5 years and i have noticed a big increase in the amount of areas i get reception now, although, sometimes the call goes thru but gets a bit staticy(if it isn't a word it is now) but then gets clear right away.

yep....got a motorola bluetooth headset that works awesome. i have programmed most of my most used contacts into the voice memory so that i can dial them by voice control with the headset. plus the phone has the extended bluetooth feature that lets you connect up to 100 yards away (rather than the usual 30 yards). also, the camera on this phone is amazing. it takes very good pics that seem to have great calarity and color....and it has zoom. i really can't say enough about this phone.

Unfortunately, I seriously doubt it. Arizona was an all 1900 MHz market for AT&T, I was the program manager for the original network deployment there in 1995/1996. Coverage around Phoenix, the I 10 corridor to Tucson and Tucson, pretty well covered. The rest of the state is hit and miss...
