All I remember about AT&T wireless was that my dad got it on discount for his job and the coverage in his area sucked to the point that he had to switch, and I know of others who had similar experiences. Why would they switch from a clean name to the sullied AT&T branding? Throw me in with the “why?” crowd.

Why would they kill of the Cingular brand after having it do so well for several years now? Sounds to me like the new CEO wants to get canned faster than the previous. Maybe those guys at AT&T are high on something? On a side note, with all of the respected gaming/entertainment resources available on the web, why would AT&T even waste the advertising money and resources to create the AT&T Blueroom? They promote it as being the gaming/entertainment mecca. Right. I'm sure all of you have heard of it, and use it daily.

I'm guessing its to give them a more serious look to help them appeal to business users ... their image at the moment seems to be more geared towards soccer moms and the casual cell phone user .... little orange dude is just to perky and friendly to appeal to business gurus, IMO anyway. well it only cost them a few hundred million (which they could have easily given to me) to get all of that branding and marketing and make their name and service identifiable… why they would ever decide to do this is … beyond me… I’m guessing its to give them a more serious look to help them appeal to business users … their image at the moment seems to be more geared towards soccer moms and the casual cell phone user …. little orange dude is just to perky and friendly to appeal to business gurus, IMO anyway.
