AT&T Wireless Hits Store Shelves With First EDGE Phone
Well, here's a change. AT&T Wireless is out there selling EDGE-capable phones, even though, they're not close to launching an EDGE network. In the meantime, the phones will work over GPRS. I actually like this strategy quite a bit. This means, when the time comes, they'll already have an audience who can immediately upgrade - instead of having to start all over again with new phones.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
