ok, i want a new cell phone, so i called cingular yesterday and they gave me 2 options. I could either keep my AT&T Plan and pick from a certain few phones, or switch to a cingular plan, which is a little more expensive and pick from a wider variety at discounted prices. so i talked to my dad and he said its ok if i get the cingular contract, but i found a phone that i can get on AT&T that i kinda like too...
its form vs. function here ppl, lemme show you:
