Looks like Cingular is changing their boxes as well. Lots of blue....ATT name change must be coming soon.

Any idea on cost (w-w/o contract?)
Donald @ Jul 14th 2006 3:42PM
The New York pricing sheet I was able to pull up had the following on it:
$279.99 out the door
$229.99 1yr contract
$179.99 2yr contract (knock $20 off if you add a Media plan at the point of sale, and if you take an unlimited Internets plan there's a $50 mail-in rebate on top of it).
It's the same in the other 3G market I was able to check (Baltimore/DC). Rebates on 2yr only.
Still, $110 for HSPDA is a good way to get people in the game.

Anyone know when Cingular will have HSDPA in Los Angeles?
Eric @ Jul 14th 2006 4:55PM
I just bought 2 in Austin, TX. It was $180-$50 = $120. That includes a $20 discount for media net. I called another store in austin and they had them too.

I had the opportunity to play with this phone a few weeks ago. Very solid phone, light, but elegant! I like it very much! And I'm sure you will as well.

Here is the updated link to the Howardforums thread. I archived the thread becuause there was a lot of pre-release speculation to sift through.

The Cingular guys at the corporate store in Central New Jersey have had this phone for about a week now. They've had the samsung and other LG UMTS phones for about a month now. Nice phones, just no service down here to make them shine... I'm an envious T-Mobile user... especially since my store just started selling the V3x unlocked...

Nokia 6282 SCRAPPED for Cingular. Los Angeles rollout of WCDMA will be late fall of this year. Still a LOT of network uogrades going on and taking people off of the legacy Blue network. All a bunch of crap if you ask me. I personally think Cingular is really shooting itself in the foot with this "soft launch" half-ass strategy. Also, look for the At&T name sooner than you think. All of this is confirmed info. EVDO-REV A baby!

well, then i guess cingular reps are showing their true nature again: they'd rather sell me (a teenager with a steady cash flow) more crap for my phone than HELP me purchase a new one (for probably more).
thanks (no, seriously, it's taken me WEEKS to find info on that release). now i have to decide: razr k1 or zx-20. dang.

jogia @ Jul 18th 2006 9:37AM
Corporate pricing on this phone is $ 149.99 with 2 year contract.

Ok So lets hear from some users who have the CU500. Worth it or not? Actually now you can get the phone free with a 2 yr contract extension.
