Don’t ask me – ask AT&T (or this reader, who sent me this tip). Everything but the launch date does jibe with what I’ve heard, so who knows?
I just talked to a *very* helpful customer care representative at AT&T, who gave me a lot of information about the new “ogo”
Here is everything she told me:
It will cost 17.99 mo, but there is a $3/mo introductory offer (she didn’t say how long the offer was good for), there will be an activation fee of $19.99, and the price of the unit is $129.99, with a $30 rebate at launch. She read me the capabilities of the unit, which included unlimited domestic text messaging (didn’t know if the unit would have its own phone number) with premium and international SMS available for a fee, unlimited instant messaging, and “unlimited access to 1 premium portal” (AOM, MSN, Yahoo), as well as support for “some” other email providers. She couldn’t tell me what all that included, or if it included your own IMAP/POP3 server. In the most notable news, she told me that the launch date is tomorrow, September 15!!
