Earlier today I wrote about Cingular’s launch of their own MySpace integration app which, for $2.99 a month on top of your regular bill, lets you browse, search, upload pics and read/respond to messages on the popular social networking site. At the same time, I got in touch with Helio to get their response to [...]
A little over a week ago I wrote that, with Helio’s exclusive contract with MySpace expiring all too soon for the MVNO’s liking, other network operators would be wanting a piece of the social networking pie. In response, Helio is planning a dedicated app for its subscribers that will make MySpace interaction faster and cleaner. [...]
The number of cellular-enabled notebooks keeps growing, with HP latest on the bandwagon as customers realise that far easier than tethering their cellphones to their laptop is to have some sort of mobile data capacity on-board. Taking advantage of Cingular’s UMTS/HSDPA network for up to 3.6 megabit speeds, the nc6400 has a tri-band modem that [...]
Starting on Tuesday, Cingular began offering LG’s CU400, the 3G Internet and video phone. This CU400 is the first phone from Cingular that support a push-to-talk function allowing you to speak with up to 30 people.
The phone also supports the ultra fast UMTS data transmission for downloads, music clips, and email. With Cingular video service, [...]
There are some people out there who, when they get a new toy, hurriedly rip away the packaging in a mad dash to get to the prize inside. For others, there’s the joy of the unboxing - peeling away the layers of user guides, accessories, crappy case and multiple strata of molded cardboard, enjoying the [...]
So it’s not a photo of the Pope kicking a squirrel, but it is one of the first in-the-wild shots I’ve seen of Cingular’s version of the Blackberry Pearl 8100c. As you can see, the Pearl has gained a shiny silver, carrier-branded chin and some slightly altered key-labelling. Other than that, it’s the same Pearl [...]
Over at our sister site, SlashPhone, there’s a review of the Treo 680 - Cingular’s $199 entry level Palm smartphone that you saw unboxed earlier on this week. Did we like it? Did we pine for the higher spec 750v? You’ll just have to read the review to find out…

One of the more annoying features of the Garmin sat-nav unit I use is its unwillingness to put up with my human foibles. Spelling mistakes, mis-pressed letters, all are held against me, and the Nuvi’s main method of punishment is saying something along the lines of “that location doesn’t exist, you moron.” Thankfully the TeleNav [...]
Our cellphone-obsessed sister site, SlashPhone.com, has scored an exclusive hands-on session with the delicious Samsung BlackJack, only available on the Cingular network. There’s a sneak preview of some of the photos here; for the rest, plus Vincent’s first-impressions, you’ll just have to click over there yourself!
If you’re looking for another reason to buy the Cingular 8525 announced today, the carrier is hoping you’ll go for their TeleNav GPS service, which debuts simultaneously with the 8525. Using a Bluetooth GPS receiver and the subscription-based TeleNav service, your 8525 gives you precise instructions using up-to-date maps from the Cingular database.
