AOL/AIM updates?
by August 17, 2005 11:20 AM PDT: It's great AOL is making such strides in updating its services, both software and the Web services. In fact I LOVE the improvements. What I can't understand is why AOL can't seem to understand why my cell phone with AIM embedded into it, SonyEricsson s710a(Cingular Blue)and advertises this exact phone on its site as being AIM embedded for both Cingular Orange and Cingular Blue customers won't work. Never mind the fact Cingular is clueless of this phone's supposed capabilities. Anyone at CNET have any ideas?; Like this Reply to this comment
