radio shack to drop vzw for cingular

Isn't this old news? I thought I remember hearing this annoucement a couple of months back?

 

It was announced officially on 8-1 per this thread: http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/showthread.php?t=10396
But it sure does feel like a couple of months ago already, guess it's another sign of getting old, time flys.

 

When is the change happening?

 

The article says "Radio Shack to sell Cingular in 2006"

 

i was sure that Verizon was dropping Radio Shack for being such poor representatives of the services provided by Verizon. Thats at least what I knew from working for VerizonWireless for 3 1/2 years. Of course Im out of the loop now, so what do i know. I miss working in wireless.

 

This is Old News.
The reason for this is that they don't need each other.

 

So does Radio Shack have better deals on phones with Verizon or does their coporate? Or depends? I wonder what kind of deals they're going to have with Cingular phones.

 

I really haven't seen RS havaing that great of deals for Verizon. Other authorized dealers often have much better deals, but they, and RS, have other, additional restrictions...mabye this is on thing kranium was pointing out with the poor representation of the service.
