There's something about a carrier pricing sheet showing unreleased models that just gets the hair on the backs of our necks standing on end. Some of these are well, well scooped at this point -- the black and gold Motorola
V3xx, Nokia
N75, and the Samsung SYNC
all gussied up in blue -- but what's new to us are the Samsung "Cardinal" and Nokia "Ram." We haven't the foggiest what these might be, but we
can tell you that the Cardinal will go for $230 commitment free or $80 after signing away a couple years of your life, while the Ram will run $210 and $60, respectively. Could it be that Nokia's threat to start
naming its phones has some teeth?

looks like the nokia ram isnt going to be a really high end phone anyway -- its price listing is really low compared to the n75's so im guessing its def not one of the N series
when i originally read this i was sort of hoping that itd be the n95 for north america -- oh well

Nokia had some 6030 replacement low end phone for Cingular which is probably the one mentioned. It looked pretty nice for a basic phone. The Cardinal is probably the Cingular version of the Tmobile Trace or the A717 (Samsung). They showed all these phone at a recent att meeting.

BTW these are Cingular given names according to the Samsung rep I spoke with.

if you read closely the non 3g categories include good, better, and best. the original V3 is still in the best category, well over 2 years later WHY do people still pay money for these?

WHY do I never see the Nokia N95? Am I really going to have to go gray?
It's OK CINGULAR all of my 6 lines will be outside of contract if you don't offer me what I want to re-UP.

@5 The N95 isn't even out in Europe yet. It's due out (over there) in March. Unless you import it, You will be waiting quite a while for this phone to come to these shores.

I don't know about the Cardinal but my guess is the "Ram" is the Nokia 6126, which will replace the 6102i in Cingular's lineup.
