ABC news has a major account w/ Cingular.(this is highly possible)

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hate the media and how they can sway public opinion/spending.

Didn't the Ford Pinto have a long term test of 1 year, and the conclusion was reached that it's a highly reliable car that can be passed down from generation to generation?

Oh PLEASE! Here comes the spin! ABC News has a major account with Cingular? So what if they do? So what if they don't? The test used phones that are known performers for each company tested, by the same company, and Cingular PERFORMED BETTER in the areas tested. Get over it.

Your not curious why they chose the areas they did to do the testing? Try looking at it from another side, truth is relative; the media isn't the best source of truth----Red M&Ms give U cancer, there's going to be a huge power outgage in the year 2000k. Turn on CNN, they have health watch and they say things like "this just in experts have found that smoking crack while pregnant will cause birth defects."

Anyways, you cant beleive what your hear, anyone can lie

Why did Consumer Reports choose the areas THEY did? They are the media too, you know. The whole idea of doing it WHERE they did it is simple...all four carriers are very well represented in that area, and it is a good mix of rural and metro coverage. While you can downplay what the results were, the test was designed to give an overview of cellular service IN THAT AREA, and UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. It was conducted using phones that favor the networks they were operating on. Did they use high end phones? No, just the opposite in fact. I believe that was a 3589 wasn't it? The phone I personally have seen HUNDREDS of VZW reps recommend because it interacts with VZW's network so well. The Cingular phone was a 3595... a phone we handed out like c...

Nothing upsets me. This is a funny question coming from a person who's opinion was not understood correctly by other people, and you corrected them w/ saying your pointing out facts or truth or possibilities.

That is exactly what I was doing, just pointing out possibilities. I'm sorry I dont take things that are handed to me, I have to question everything about it.

Here's a possibility. If the tables were turned and ATT came out on top, would you question it?

How about this; if VZW came out on top, would I have questioned it? Maybe-->kinda leaning towards the no side

Nope... I wouldn't have, because the conditions of the test were clearly defined.
