Cleveland Gets Cingular 3G

Go Cleveland!
Cleveland residents woke up to be the 52nd community to enjoy the new(ish) world of 3G joy this morning. Cingular runs the worlds first widely deployed HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) network in the world. Buy a plan and slap a compatible card (or tether your mobile) in your laptop and you can be surfin' at speeds of 400-700Kbps.

Apple iPhone to be Cingular exclusive?

Like the hugely successful Motorola ROKR *cough* before it, could the iPhone be headed to a Cingular store near you? Apparently set to be announced at the Macworld Expo San Francisco in February 2007, whispers say it will be exclusive to Cingular for 6 months in North America.
The iPhone is rumored to be packed with gee-golly features like a 3-mega pixel camera, and a 2.2 inch display. With Apple's track record for gorgeous design and functionality, I have no doubt it will be something special. I hope we see a iPod replacement with phone functionality and maybe that touchscreen we keep hearing about.
