AT&T recently launched “Ringtone A-List”, a special part of their web site where they unveil the sounds found on the mobile phones of today’s top stars.

AT&T to determine pricing on 3G iPhone?
While Apple had the upper hand in telling what AT&T could and could not do or charge for the current-generation iPhone, the 3G iPhone could usher in a new age of carrier-based iPhone pricing.

Rural wireless carriers petition FCC to look into iPhone exclusivity deal
Who knew the iPhone was so popular, especially in rural America? Actually, we knew it was popular, but it’s surprising to hear that rural wireless carriers are upset that they can’t offer their local subscribers any iPhone-love.

AT&T: 20Mbps 3G network by 2009 – HSPA release 7, here we come!
While many AT&T customers are enjoying the No. 1 US carrier’s HSDPA (HSPA in some areas) 3G network, AT&T’s 3G speeds are still relatively slow compared to their counterparts in Europe and Asia. Following AT&T’s HSUPA upgrade to their 3G network this year (creating a true HSPA network), Big Blue has announced on Wednesday that…
AT&T selling refurbished iPhone 8GB and iPhone 16GB
Get ’em while their hot (and available)! While Apple’s online storefront is still bare when it comes to iPhone stock, AT&T has started to offer customers a last-ditch batch of refurbished iPhones in the days leading up to the next-generation iPhone launch.

AT&T: Free iPhone WiFi access coming, iPhone Black was a mistake
There are just some things that are too good not to be true. And then there are things that are just too ridiculous to believe.
