ATT/Cingular has recently announced the release of the Ogo, which is an all tect communication handheld retailing at about $80.00. This is something I expected from ATT, a slow, poorly adapting company that deserved to be bought-out!
1. Although a Blackberry is 3x more expensive it is often used by people who NEED to always be on, and not by people who WANT to always be on. Its different!
2. The Ogo packs almost all of the same features I can get in a high end cell phone, but with the phone I can shoot photos and TALK WITH IT!
3. Danger SIdekick II has 1st mover advantage,and it is a much more robust product.
4. You can get a Danger Sidekick II FREE! An $80.00 Ogo is not equal to the $100.00 ATT termination fee + a free Sidekick II.
Once Again ATT Wireless shows that they are so amazing far behind the business cycle of handheld products. Iit is no wonder they were consumed by Cingular. I hope Cingular customers do not become victims of ATT's poor business evolution and innovation practices!
To add futher insult, the release was in September 04 and I just now found about the product.
