Subscribers to the nation's largest cell phone carrier have something to crow about: Cingular has a great range of innovative phones. From simple voice phones to smartphones, the big GSM carrier has all the bases covered.

Some even take advantage of Cingular's EDGE network, the closest thing to a truly nationwide cellular high-speed data network available today. While its speeds may feel more like dial-up than broadband at times, you can't beat EDGE's availability-you can access the Internet from almost anywhere you can get a Cingular cell-phone signal.

Another cool thing about the carrier is that you can also take unlocked foreign phones and activate them on Cingular's network, for a truly exotic experience. Here are some of our favorite handsets from the carrier with the big orange logo.
