Good people of Cingular
I’m currently a verizon customer and their new UI is burning a hole in my brain, that and a multitude of verizon restrictions are driving me away. All the verizon fan boys would have me believe that cingular sucks and that I will come crying back after using Cingular. I heard the internet is wide open on cingular phones along with Bluetooth. Is it true that verizon has limited their internet access and cingular doesn’t? What I would like to know is all the things I can do with a cingular phone that I can’t do with a verizon phone. I see all the cool phones cingular carriers and the wide variety of choices and the ease of use with SIM cards. Tell me why cingular is great compared to verizon.
Thanks all
Thanks all

😲 freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no locked down bluetooth. there is no limited web. all phones can get opera mini, or even a more advanced opera thats lets you viwe web in html format. EVEN THE FREE PHONES DO 😳. also you don't have to pay a million bucks for a phone with one feature you like but 9 others you'll never use. coverage is equal just about everwhere. and if your a phone nerd like most of use here, you'll love defeating the machine by all the customizable features the phone let you geat away with.
so its late and i got booty to get 😛 , i'll explain more later or let the rest of the guys inform you. HOLLA! 😎

While Verizon has great coverage in many areas, Cingular is getting better with their coverage in many of the same areas.
My suggestion is to test for the 30 days that you get with Cingular in all the areas that you are most likely to use the phone (work, home, golf course, nightclub, church, etc...) and see if there is any noticeable signal difference or call quality difference.
Compare rate plans and web plans and see if your job has a discount plan with either company.
I truly doubt that you are going to have all the problems that some people claim that you will have with Cingular.
I am not discounting their complaints, but every carrier has problems. Verizon and Cingular have fewer than others.

Someone was saying that you can download a opera program on your phone allowing u for TRUE html web browsing even if the phone wasnt originally intended or sold that way. I am unaware of this and would like more info please? Where can I download this program or a better one? What are good sites to find these? Paying isnt a problem. Also does the same apply for T-Mobile? I work for Cingular but acually have a T-809 with T-Mobile. Also does this program acually give you true html internet access traveling internet freely or are there still restrictions? I already have unlimited internet i just wanna know how i can utilize this. thx in advance.

On opera mini it says to download you need to use your wap browser and go to HTTP😲peramini.com...
how do you do that.....if i had a browser i wouldnt need opera mini. any additional info would be great. i have unlimited internet access i just need to figure out how to get this on my phone. thx in advance.

I figured out how to set up operamini using url. when i try to use it it says no network....it also says that it supports GPRS/3g....well my phone is edge so im guessing that may be the problem. any opera type software out there that supports edge?
...
Opera supports EDGE automatically if you have GPRS.
GPRS is the fallback when you have limited EDGE coverage in any area.

Also keep in mind that you can use any GSM handset, provided it isn't locked to another network, and rides the 850 and/or 1900 MHz frequencies. Really, though, the 850 frequency is stronger and more widely used, so pay more attention to that. FWIW, if you get a european phone, it will probably be 900/1800, unless it's quad-band.
Keep in mind that if you buy a non-Cingular handset, you're on your own setting the WAP, SMS, MMS, etc. settings. But they have decent how-tos on Cingular.com, so you could probably figure it out easily. 🙂
