Do any of the CG readers have a mobile phone that isn’t black? I’ve never really concerned myself with the color of my mobile phone, but I hope to snag a white iPhone 3G this Friday just to keep my elitist façade intact. Heh.

Anyway, Palm is obviously banking on the success of the Centro because they’ve just announced a new color for the AT&T lineup that already has a white and black model. I’m not sure I’d call this new shade electric blue since it looks more baby blue, but I’m certainly not doing the marketing for Palm, now am I? Look for it this Friday at AT&T retail stores along with some back to school promotion that couldn’t possibly make it any cheaper than it already is, but it sounds enjoy it.

Before you blow your 2-year-contract wad switching to AT&T on Friday, why not switch for some other compelling handsets on AT&T Wireless. Before you say “OK! Lets!” how about we take a walk through AT&T’s website to see why, specifically, the iPhone is basically saving AT&T’s ass. First we have the Samsung Access, a squat HSDPA […]


Before you blow your 2-year-contract wad switching to AT&T on Friday, why not switch for some other compelling handsets on AT&T Wireless. Before you state “OK! Lets!” how about we take a walk through AT&T’s website to see why, specifically, the iPhone is basically saving AT&T’s ass.

First we have the Samsung Access, a squat HSDPA which costs $199 after $100 rebate. It’s got Mobile Email and IM as well as Video Share. Hot!

Next we’ve got the LG Vu which all of us at CG actually liked. I personally enjoyed the Mobile Television and the form factor is actually quite iPhone-ish.


Then we’ve the Palm Treo 750w. Palm. Windows Mobile. Next.

Finally, we’ve the Motorola MOTO Z9. Why this thing costs $199 is anyone’s guess but if you’re 15 and like the Jonas Brothers, this is probably the phone for you.

So yes, there were very few compelling reasons to switch to AT&T before Steve Jobs concurred to drop his 3G lifeboat into Ma Bell’s tainted afterbirth. In short, the iPhone is the ideal thing to happen to any carrier, be it AT&T or Rogers, simply because of the beatific halo that is cast by the device.
