Cingular scales back sale of 3G handsets
Cingular scales back sale of 3G handsets
Kent German Former senior managing editor / features
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Phone Scoop is reporting that Cingular has stopped selling such as the LG CU320 in markets where the carrier's UMTS network is not yet available. At the moment, Cingular's 3G service is available in 15 markets nationwide. Although UMTS handsets such as the CU320 are backward-compatible with the carrier's slower EDGE network, the carrier's 3G services, such as Cingular Video, are not optimized for use over EDGE. Customers in non-UMTS markets have until June 30 to return their 3G handsets or wait until Cingular expands the network later this year.
