Abe,
Ridiculous. Yes, the old network will be dropped in the future. No doubt of that. However, it's easy enough to switch to the Cingular configuration. Get a new phone, new service contract. No muss, no fuss. No reconnect fees.
Or, if you like your existing phones, just unlock them and get Cingular to give you a new chip. That's what I did with my old Nokia 3620. The phone might be old by current standards but it is still better than many of the newer phones.
So, while I have my new Sony W810i which is an awesome phone - I wholeheartedly recommend it - If necessary, I can take the chip out of it, pop it into the Nokia and continue my normal cell phone usage. I think of the Nokia as a backup phone in the event something happens to the Sony.
