AT&T (SBC) has already said it will rebrand Cingular as AT&T if the
merger with BellSouth goes through. I personally think the Cingular
brand may be retained within the name AT&T (e.g., AT&T Cingular
wireless, like a Toyota Camry), for some time at least, but only time
will tell.

I still think the new AT&T Deathstar has the more benign look of a
jumping jacks ball...but then the Cingular jumping jack guy...
I'm just saying...

I new that if I hung onto my old AT&T analog phone it would come back

| The word "Cingular" is derrived from the word "Singular" meaning one single
bar of signal strength. :-)

I thought it meant that your phone will only work in a "singular" locations,
agreed by many to be an imaginary locations off of the left coast .... with
extended GSM coverage.
