We knew this is coming and now it’s official. AT&T customers can grab the small Palm OS-based Centro smartphone for $99 with an appropriate contract. Those that were looking forward to have some “HSDPA fun” while on-the-go will be sad to learn AT&T’s, just like the European version, Centro lacks 3G. It’s the EDGE “speeds”…

Two-thirds of AT&T customer representatives are mis-informed
[Update] Post updated. Perhaps my original wording was a bit harsh. It’s one way or the other. A recent test conducted by the Consumers Union found that two-thirds of AT&T customer representatives either lied about AT&T’s termination fees (which are now pro-rated), or were misinformed. The group made 12 calls to AT&T and were provided…

While most in the mobile space are focused on the winner of the FCC’s 700Mhz spectrum auction, more specifically the open-access C-block auction, the FCC has given the thumbs-up for AT&T to gobble up Aloha Wireless’ 700Mhz spectrum.

AT&T EDGE network is down – AT&T data network blackouts rolling through Midwest and Southeast US
[Update] It looks like the tech-heads at AT&T have no idea what left AT&T EDGE and UMTS data customers without their precious data connection. Leave it to a multi-billion dollar company to not know what caused their data network to take nose-dive for 9 hours. If you’re in the Midwest or Southeast US and you’re…
AT&T set to launch Pantech Duo in Red
As any good handset should do, the AT&T Pantech Duo is going to be making its Red-colored debut next week.

In fact, we’re hearing that AT&T has seen…
