As expected the BlackBerry 8800 hit the Cingular website today, priced at $500 with no terms or $300 for 2-year commitment.
Specs haven’t changed since the last post, but just in case you’re new here and weren’t lucky enough to catch it, we’ve listed a few highlights again.. More►
The web has been fire hot with Blackberry 8800 news and rumors. After speculation and renderings swathed over the web for the past few weeks, the Blackberry 8800 is finally spotted, unveiled and fondled thoroughly. More►
Edit: This has been declared as not true and not happening.
Talk about big moves. This is bound to ruffle the feathers of pretty much every carrier. Not only does Cingular have the iPhone exclusive, rumor has it that the “largest wireless carrier in the US” will provide FREE service to users who jump ship from their current carriers and join the iPhone lovefest.

CES 2007 was the place where Cingular and Palm wanted to make the announcement official. The Palm Treo 750 is finally here. Many of you have known about the device for quite some time and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Palm, thankfully removes the antenna stub on the 750 and gives it a smooth and comfortable form, by rounding the handsets’ corners.
Notable features on the Treo 750 are UMTS, a 240×240 touchscreen and 5 channel support allowing it to be used in almost every country. More►
I wouldn’t call them spyshots, but somebody has been snapping up quite a few sneaky pics. Is this the 8800c or the 8900c? Well I’m not quite sure, though it seems to have been clarified that if this indeed the 8800, the first version of this upcoming BlackBerry device will have no camera and that later sometime near or in April, a version for you photobugs will be released.

Samsung and Cingular are starting to look like a dynamic duo. It seems as Motorola is with Verizon so is Samsung with Cingular. On deck and recently reviewed, the Samsung SGH A707
. Stated to be the flagship of Cingular 3G, the SYNC from Samsung gets a good looking over from Eric Lin at PhoneScoop and others. After reading I get the feeling that Cingular is taking two steps forward and one step back with this handset. More►
Back in September we covered the then upcoming BlackBerry Pearl from Rim and this week the QWERTY-based feature focused handset has made its Cingular arrival. Everything is pretty much in the same state as when we first reported. That means 1.3 megapixel camera, SureType keyboard, media player for audio and video playback, multimedia messaging, Quad-band, push-to-talk and Bluetooth. More►
Announced today as a Cingular “exclusive”, the Nokia E62 is the US version of the Nokia E61. Before the question is raised or the title given, by no means will we even consider this device a “killer” of any sort.
It may be the start of a new “tier” for smartphones, being somewhat barebones even though it is priced higher ($149.99) than the Motorola Q was when it went on sale, but “killer” it is not. More►
Chances are that the HTC Hermes, will be the upcoming Cingular 8525. The leaked photos you see are said to be shots of the much speculated Cingular variation. If you are up to speed on your HTC devices, you’ll immediately notice the lack of the front-facing camera found on the Hermes, that’s due to the slow development of Cingular’s video calling infrastructure. Expect the device in the near future.
