Eric << ATT doesn't have data >> Thought I would chime here in with a few comments. T has offered wireless data for over 3 years now, however, their success has been anything but stellar. On the plus side: - their Pocket Net service (CDPD) is actually faster than sprints current offering. - CDPD does not share bandwidth with their TDMA network. And the drawbacks: - up until now, their pocket net phones have been the size of bricks with specks to match (They will be offering a new phone from Mitsubishi soon - very comparable with the Neopoint) - they do not have a nation wide CDPD network ( I forget the actual coverage stats) One last comment. T's plans are to bypass GPRS and go straight to EDGE. Regards, Robert.
