The new AT&T Mobile Share data plans are available for new and existing customers starting today. We took a look at the plans when they were first announced a few weeks back, so current AT&T customers should have had plenty of time to think things over. There really isn't a huge savings between Verizon or AT&T's on these plans, so neither should be enough to make you switch...
AT&T has confirmed via their blog that their new shared data plans will be launching on August 23rd. The new plans let everyone in your family share from a data bucket at one base price with an extra fee for additional phones or tablets. We took a look at how the shared plans stack up against those of Verizon and just how much (if anything) you can save by switching over. The plans...
Today AT&T announced that they will have shared data plans available in August and a few weeks back Verizon dropped some shared plans of their own. While it seems like a cool idea at first, they are both a bit tricky to break down. Depending on the amount of data you actually use and the number of devices on your plan, you may be better off without them - neither of these is really...
AT&T has become the next carrier to announce shared data plans for wireless customers. Verizon did it a few weeks back to mixed reviews, and AT&T will be dropping their plans next month. The up side is that AT&T is not forcing anyone to change plans - so you can jump on the shared ship if you'd like, or you can keep your single plans as is. Up to 10 devices can be used on a...
In a recent interview with FireceWireless, AT&T chief marketing officer David Christopher weighed in on the current situation at Research In Motion.

But they have to innovate quickly...

[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] I'm a big believer that RIM and carriers can always do way more when it comes to advertising. I feel they never really show off the truly great features of BlackBerry phones and that is something on which they are missing the mark. The latest commercial from AT&T shows off not the newly released Bold 9900, but our good friend the Torch...

After all of our whining and petitioning and complaining about AT&T taking forever to release the BlackBerry Bold 9900, it feels weirdly awesome to finally start to see some "official" style photos of the touchscreen Bold start to surface. The image above was sent in our CrackBerry tip line just a few minutes ago, showing off the AT&T branded Bold 9900 alongside the box it will...

Oh, AT&T. How you tease BlackBerry Bold 9900 fans. Announcements, Tweets, removal of said tweets and now -- accessories. No telling how long AT&T stores have been stockpiling these but word is things are 'on schedule' for the BlackBerry Bold release. Whatever that means -- we'd just drawn the conclusion AT&T was nuts for having not already released it. If 'on schedule' means...

This is odd. On October 21st @ATTDeals tweeted out that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is coming soon. Stay Tuned!. We reported it on Sunday, October 23rd. Now today CrackBerry member igotberryfever noticed that the Bold 9900 tweet has been removed from the @ATTDeals twitter account. What's up with that?! Whatever it is... it doesn't seem positive. In other related news, I heard from a...

Weekends are usually my time to catch up on chores and shows taped on my DVR. Well Saturday morning I happened to be watching this past Tuesday's Unforgettable, which airs on CBS, and wouldn't you know what popped up on my TV. I actually rewound and hit pause to make sure. Next thing I did was jump up, grab my camera, and take a shot. I do apologize if the quality is a little off. While...
