Cingular Discountinues Ogo Communicator

Launched by Cingular and ATT&T as a cheap messaging product designed to "capture" the youth market, the Ogo never really took off. It provided unlimited text messaging and e-mail from AOL, MSN and Yahoo! along with SMS text messages. However, it could not do voice calls, was relatively expensive and not well supported. I am not really surprised that it did not compete well against devices like the Sidekick and Treo which although cost more were also much better and capable devices.
