Thanks. The thing is: AT&T is much more than a cell phone network; I needed some context.

I laughed about "playing games on your phone" 20 years ago. Heck, I never thought I'd buy a phone with a color screen

You're really only making a statement about poor terminology. I don't think you are playing games on your phone or have a color screen on your phone. You do those things on your pocket computer, as well as (maybe) make voice calls.

The only thing that could have been a surprise for anyone was that voice calls would be the killer ap for pocket computer (remember they flopped when they were called PDAs and didn't do telephone). Or maybe that one's laptop computer would some day fit in one's pocket.
