Cingular's rebate forms are about as accurate at predicting the carrier's releases as weathermen are at predicting blizzards, but nevertheless, there are several juicy tidbits in the latest form (dated November 5 to December 30, 2006) worth pointing out. First up, the Samsung ZX30 and
LG CU400 make appearances, both presumably destined to bring yet more clamshell love to the HSDPA game, and it'll be interesting to see how the ZX30 slots in against its
SYNC stablemate. Also showing up to the party is the CU500v -- a phone we know nothing about -- but we're guessing it represents some sort of incremental upgrade to the
CU500 (video calling, perhaps?). Next up, the
SGH-i607 seems to have been officially christened the "Blackjack" for Cingular's release of the slim, 3G, QWERTY smartphone. Finally, the
Treo 680 and
750 get some rebate love with both models coming in camera and non-camera variants. Conspicuously missing from the form, though, is the hotly-anticipated
Nokia N75, suggesting that American S60 fans might be waiting until early '07 to get some 3G action.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Update: Looking closer at the form, we find a couple other goodies in the mix -- the
Motorola K1 KRZR (in its GSM flavor, of course), the V3r (basically a red
V3i, we hear), and the Pearl, a phone we'd
previously heard wouldn't drop until 2007. Oh, and if you look
really close, the ZX30 actually reads "ZX20" (how boring!). [Thanks again, everyone]
