No, this has nothing to do with AT&T’s EDGE data network. It seems that AT&T has decided to pull the trigger and fully take over Pacific Northwest wireless carrier Edge Wireless. Now, AT&T already had a minority (35.7%) stake in the small-time network operator, but that just wasn’t enough for the nation’s largest carrier. Continuing…
Palm launches Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for AT&T Treo 750 owners! The WM6 upgrade is finally live!
If we sound a bit excited to hear that Palm has finally gone live with their Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for AT&T Palm Treo 750 owners, it’s because we are.

Apple and AT&T sued over iPhone’s Visual Voicemail technology – another patent infringement case
Well, this isn’t just another patent infringement case against the iPhone. Whereas all previous lawsuits basically rested on the shakiest of ground, the latest lawsuit brought against Apple and AT&T by Klausner Technologies has some merit. The firm has alleged that the iPhone’s Visual Voicemail feature infringes on Klausner’s U.S. Patents 5,572,576 and 5,283,818. The…
AT&T plans to kill pay phones – we want lower-cost pre-paid wireless plans!
To the disappointment of lower-income residents in AT&T’s 13-state pay-phone coverage area – including Texas and California – AT&T has announced that they will be shutting down their pay-phone service by the end of 2008. The pay-phone side of the business has been a money-loser for AT&T and it looks like they’ve had just about…
AT&T prepping Motorola Q9 with WiFi?
Sure, HSDPA is great and all for on-th-go web-surfing, but with AT&T’s spotty 3G coverage, it’s not always the ideal option for getting your internet-fix. Unfortunately, AT&T isn’t to keen on giving its customers any WiFi connectivity that could drain the company’s coffers of data-revenue. Or are they? With the AT&T Tilt 8925 (HTC Kaiser)…
Verizon confirms LTE 4G network trials with Vodafone; to share with AT&T
We’ve known for some time that Verizon has put their faith in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard upon which to build their 4G network. And, following on the GSMA’s support of LTE as the 4G standard of choice, Verizon has announced that they will be kicking off trials of their LTE network in 2008.…
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson confirms 3G iPhone for ‘next year’
We’ve been talking about the next-generation iPhone for almost as long as the current iPhone has been on-market. The 3G version of the Apple iPhone has been rumored time and again for a launch in early 2008. And, we’re expecting Steve Jobs to drop the 3G-bomb on us during his January Macworld keynote. But, all…
The mini phone heading to AT&T?
File this under “we’re so NOT sure about this,” but apparently AT&T will be adding this mini phone to its portfolio. We don’t even know the name of this device, but we do know it should come with 1.5″ screen, stereo speakers, 1.3 MP camera, music player, and the microSD memory expansion slot. It’s kinda…

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 will not have GPS; to launch on AT&T before T-Mobile
These things happen. It seems we jumped the gun when we previously noted that the recently FCC-approved RIM BlackBerry 8120 Pearl will rock both an integrated-GPS module and WiFi. Turns out, the reference to “GPS” in the FCC documentation was merely a section that details how to connect a Bluetooth GPS receiver to the BlackBerry…
