No problem. I still have my 6682 that is Cingular branded. I could try it for a month on it. But, how is the radio..I saw it had ESPN radio and thats why I got interested in it..ESPN radio carries lots of baseball, football and basketball games that I would enjoy listening to.

I haven't used the mobiradio, only the mobitv, which does kick arse. Sadly, that only has ESPN 3. The mobi-radio may be better.

We'll have music video synced with your att yahoo dsl service soon. 😁
