Cingular has previously announced that there would be a broadband speed, UMTS network launched starting in portions of the country in the fourth quarter. Right now, EDGE covers a large portion of the GSM network, which i've found that the Allover network is indeed just that. The coverage without question cannot be outdone, with inclusive data coverage in the same areas.

The best coverage and EDGE data speeds will probably only get better with the intoduction of UMTS. One of the really neat features is video calling, and hopefully the handsets are affortable, at least $300 or less on a two-yr agreement. Can anyone imagine video calling capability over Cingular's national network, we're talking 48 million now...that's more than totally awes...
