It’s a funny old day for Cingular - they get to ride the crest of the publicity wave with two announcements, one intentional and one not. The former is of course the official launch of the 8525 smartphone, while the latter concerns this leaked rebate form detailing just what deals will be available in the [...]
Like water-jigging silk-shirt-wearing Dance-Lord Michael Flatley, the Cingular 8525 finally breaks cover and sashays into the marketplace. With the grace that only a fairly chubby Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone with slide-out keyboard and 3G HSDPA wireless data connectivity can possess, it twirls and preens, offering itself to our greedy eyes for a mere $399 and [...]
Yep, that’s a hand, and in it is a Cingular SYNC, so I guess this must be a hands-on, mustn’t it. The glad-rag wearing gadabouts over at Engadget Mobile have managed to persuade some poor Cingular rep to let them stroke, fondle and generally interfere with the Samsung-made handset, which currently leads the pack of [...]
Cellphone manufacturers would like you to think that their handsets are more than adequate replacements for your iPod - after all, they not only play music but you can make calls, too! Yet up until now the carriers have been pretty draconian with how you use their data network, potentially the music-phone’s primary distinguishing [...]
God bless leaked presentations. Thanks to what we can only assume is a careless marketing bod, a Cingular smartphone presentation reveals that the Treo 680 is provisionally due for release on November 5th, with a list price of $424.99 that drops sharply towards the $200 mark depending on how willing you are to sell your [...]
It’s a great day for TeleNav and Cingular. The two companies just announced the roll out of the TeleNav GPS navigation service. It’s real-time, turn-by-turn voice and on-screen navigation system cost an additional $9.99 per month for unlimited trips while the $5.99 plan only gets you 10 trips. The service does require Cingular data plan. [...]
After the launch of the Palm Treo 680 (Oi, you at the back, stop chanting “poor man’s 750v”!) one of the big unanswered questions was which of the big US carriers would actually start selling it. Well, the question is answered thanks to a leaked internal document that Engadget got their hands on, and wow-what-a-surprise-who-would’ve-guessed-that you’ll [...]
All those articles proclaiming the death of the PDA are looking to be correct - the choice of Smartphones that connect via cellphone networks just gets bigger and bigger. Soon to join the party is HTC’s Excalibur, which will be launched by T-Mobile USA on October 10th as the Dash.
Apple’s iPhone is one of the most anticipated phones this year, and now we have more rumors to fuse it into your head. The new rumor is Cingular will be the first service carrier to use iPhone. Apple has given Cingular exclusive rights on iPhone distribution for at least six months after its announcement of [...]
I had a chance to test drive Cingular’s new 3125 (aka HTC Star Trek) earlier this week. It’s super thin, only slightly thicker, long and wider than the RAZR. Unlike the RAZR, it feels really nice in the palm of my hand, thanks to the seamless design and quality material used in the [...]
