New AT&T site touts carrier's software, hardware freedom

With all the hoopla surrounding Verizon's open access conference this week, AT&T's putting in its best effort to remind everyone that it's been "open," per se, for years. Part of the effort includes the introduction of a new site, simply www.att.com/choice, that gives customers and would-be customers a rundown of all the software and hardware that's available to them, carrier-endorsed or otherwise. To quote the site, "You've got the choice: either conveniently get a phone through AT&T for guaranteed worry-free functionality, or bring any GSM Phone and we'll connect it to our network." Fair enough, AT&T, and we're happy to see you make a more conscientious effort to get the word out.
