Ok, I have an Nokia 8290. When Cingular was PacBell I had the PacBell logo on my phone which I had changed it to my liking (dragon in this case) as I had done on my 6190. Yesterday I got the Cingular logo after turing on my phone (pissed me off) and couldnt override it with a new logo last night. Any ideas on why?
Im almost tempted to go back to my 6190 cuz i dont wanna see Cingular on my damn phone. I KNOW who my provider is , i dont need to be reminded of it every damn time i look at the phone. And i hope the 6190 doesnt revert back to the Cingular logo. Havent used it in weeks so i dont know.
Anyhow, if ya know y i cant change the logo now that the logo went to Cingular, itd be much appreciated.

I've had no problems with reception or dropped calls..
where are you located? I'm usually in West LA and sometimes to the east in Alhambra and out towards Pomona...
seriously though I've had no problems so far... which phone are you using?

HAHHAHAHAAA!
i have a story about sucks ass
i used to say stuff sucks ass all the time. and then my sister one day after i said it asked me to please stop. and i was confused, so she said that it is just gross. and then, when i thought about what i was saying, i just started laughing. hysterically laughing. i couldn't breath. & the worst was that i was driving! i had to pull over cause it was soooooooooo funny.
now, when ever i hear the term sucks ass, i chuckle.

Very interesting, Cingular has just started advertising up here (in Minnesota) and their marketing *has* peaked my curiosity, but it seems as if they are no different from any other wireless customer, good and bad reports.
Oh well, Sprint is the service I use, best I've had yet.
cingular is just a group of other cell carriers banded together to create a nationwide (somewhat) company

"i constantly get a 'system busy' messagewhen i make calls.. i drop calls with full signal..."
I believe that is cause by an overloaded tower...
I had the same problem in Oklahoma... it lasted for about 4 months, and i couldn't use the phone at my house, even though I had full service. I could drive 3/4mi. down the road, where the signal would jump to another tower, get one or two points of service, but make a crystal clear call.
I would switch providers to AT&T, but they don't have as good a plan running right now as i've got with my current phone.
