Cellular One VITA Wireless Samaritan Honorees Announced

Recently in Oklahoma City, Cellular One has honored 9 different Cellular One customers that exemplified how cell phones can be beneficial in emergency situations. Each of these 9 Cellular One customers have been in an emergency situation, sometimes being life-threatening. Also, in each situation, each customer relied on their cell phone to get help to their location. Cellular One has chosen to honor these customers, as they feel that they exemplify the significance of wireless technology in our every day lives. Along with their special recognition from Cellular One, each of these customers were also awarded with free cell phones.

HTC 4300

CelluarOne's HTC 4300 is a great addition to their current lineup. The HTC smartphone that utilizes a full Qwerty keyboard and is also based off of the popular Windows Mobile 5 OS. The HTC 4300 is very similar to the MDA, in fact I think they're based off of the same platform, but none the less the HTC 4300 is quite the looker. For a phone that houses such features such as web browsing, picture messaging, memory card expansion slot, wifi, bluetooth, and a video recorder you would expect to be lugging around a computer. That's not the case with the HTC 4300 since it is complied nicely into a sleek and subtle phone. The HTC 4300 is currently available for about $479 from Cellular one of San Luis Obispo and for what you get with the phone, I would recommend this unit to any smart phone fanatic that uses CellularOne.

Cellular One/Dobson to be acquired by AT&T

AT&T had recently announced their plans to acquire small-time competitor Dobson Communications, which competes with AT&T in 16 different states nationwide. The acquisition of Dobson will allow AT&T to further strengthen and broaden its networks, taking advantage of areas where Dobson's network was once dominant to AT&T's. This will allow AT&T to extend its service and products, such as the iPhone, to areas like Alaska that couldn't once access these products before. This is a big move by AT&T, as it is going to cost them about $5 billion to complete this acquisition, which includes Dobson's $2.3 billion outstanding debt. If all goes as planned, things should be nearing completion by December.
