What lamebrain at AT&T decided to announce the Cingular name will be retired the very same week that Apple has introduced the iPhone, which is being promoted with the Cingular logo?
It’s the AT&T brand that should be retired. “Cingular” is one of those mushy, meaningless words, like “Camry”, but how descriptive is “American Telephone and Telegraph”?
Absolutely agreed! I started with AT&T Wireless, got changed to Cingular, now it’ll be back to AT&T… and banding-wise I agree the timing with the Apple announcement is amazingly poor, even though the iPhones won’t be to market for another 5-6 months.
But… that iPhone IS damned cool, ain’t it?
