AT&T is set to launch their new services this Sunday, including Voicemail To Text, AT&T Nation with Canada, and new Mobile TV channels/pricing. These are actually pretty cool new services so you might want to check them out:

• Voicemail To Text - Does exactly what it says but is limited to 60 seconds. The transcribed message can be sent via SMS, email, or both for $9.99 per month. Note: moving to this service will delete all messages from your old voicemail.
• AT&T Nation with Canada - Nothing more needs to be said about this one. You’ll get no long distances charges to Canada, 1,000 night and weekend minutes in the US and Canada with rollover and anytime minutes, A-List and early nights/weekends option.
• New Mobile TV channels, coverage, and pricing - Three new channels to the Mobile TV function. No specifics on the channels but it’ll be some kind of comedy station, national broadcaster, and kid’s channel. Three new markets launching between now and December 11. Service will be dropping from $15 to $10 per month with Mobile TV plus unlimited data going from $30 down to $25.
