The new 3G service will be available in the Orlando metropolitan area including the airport, theme parks, and the University of Central Florida.
"In today’s fast-paced society, people are always on the go and have a craving for quick access to information," said Rudy Hermond, vice president and general manager for Cingular’s West, Central, and North Florida markets. "Our 3G service gives them the ability to watch their favorite sports and shows on their phone while waiting in line to grab a seat at a restaurant. We’re providing customers with an "invisible wire" that extends their broadband experience beyond their office or home."
Cingular’s 3G service promises download speeds between 400-700 Kbps with bursts to over one megabit. As part of their 3G service, you will be able to use the new HSPDA/UMTS phones so you can take advantage of web browsing and media related activities including Cingular video which gives you video service from major broadcast stations like ABC, FOX, Cartoon Network, HBO and others.
Cingular announced recently that they have added 3G service to Cleveland Ohio as well.
