Rushed out the door by AT&T Wireless with no support for voice, it then became a victim of the AWS/Cingular merger. If you look closely at the Ogo, you'll notice a small, circular cap. Under the cap is where the headset was to go. There was all sorts of palace intrigue around the Ogo prior to launch. Doomed from the beginning, this device was only the second time that AT&T Wireless ever attempted to brand a device themselves. The first time was the ill fated "PocketNet" phones. Many landfills groaned under the weight of those AWS branded bricks.

As for why it failed, there are plenty of reasons.
1) Bad timing, as already mentioned
2) Ugly design. Looks like a happy meal toy. Feels like a happy meal toy.
3) Lack of features. No phone capability, no camera, no web browsing.
4) Limited email compatibility
5) Bad pricing compared to other options. It was like $15 for one email/ im service. But if you use aim but have a yahoo email, that's an extra $3. So it's $18 a month or more, and you have to carry around another device. An ugly, awkward, cheap-looking one, at that. Why would anyone want one when you could buy something like the Sidekick, which has all the features of the Ogo and more- doubles as a phone, has a camera, up to 3 email accounts, web browser (and does a better job at all of them, too), looks much better, and is only a few dollars a month more? ]]>Mar 15th 2006 7:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/13/ogo-go-deutsch-euro/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/13/ogo-go-deutsch-euro/Jul 5th 2006 6:47AM
