    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    I've never carried insurance on the cell phones I've had because of what you've stated here. And I believe that the coverage you can purchase from Cingular generally isn't available for the high end phones or PDA's anyway - the very ones it *might* make some sense to insure.

    Oh - and btw - one of my credit cards (ATT Universal :biggrin: ) has automatic cell phone coverage as one of it's member "benefits"; so while it's not common, some people may already have cell phone insurance without realizing it.

    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    That's right it was a feature they offered with the AT&T Credit card (I couldn't get it) And I wonder if any other cards do cover Cellphones & what you would have to do to get it covered?

    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    I hope I never have to find out! :)

    I really don't know - I just "discovered" this awhile back, as I recalled that it also provides for some free "prepaid" calling time each month (30 minutes) and so I had pulled out the documentation to take a look at it.

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 3/6/07 ***

    This Nokia phone comes out on 04/17

    http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=products,n75

    It's a pretty nice phone, I saw it a trade show. It's got a soft rubber exterior on the front cover though the guy there said it'd be tougher in the released version.

    The Nokia N75 looks sweet. I'm sure I'll be one of the first ones in the store when it opens to check it out.

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 3/6/07 ***

    I am wondering if anyone has looked at the SonyEricsson Z750i? This phone seemingly runs all networks as follows:
    EDGE
    GSM 850
    GSM 900
    GSM 1800
    GSM 1900
    HSDPA
    UMTS 2100

    Wondering if Cingular's 3G on the 1900MHz will work...

    Not from this spec sheet — but the specs that I see indicate that it'll be a tri-band HSDPA, so it should work fine if that info is correct.

    Not sure where you heard this rumor, but I wouldn't be too sure about anything regarding the release date of this phone. The special HoFo thread created solely to discuss the release date of this phone, was started in December 2006 (after much speculation in other threads) and now is over 2500 posts on 168 pages. I just scanned a few recent pages and found rumors of the N75 release ranging from this week to June.

    If you want to have a laugh, go back and read the posts from January or February where people confidently gave various release dates. ;)

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 3/6/07 ***


    Well, not to say I told you so, but 4/17 has come and gone, and of course the N75 is still MIA.

    On some sites the rumor is that Cingular delayed the release of the N75 because it allows you to download and run applications for buying music and ringtones that bypass the services that Cingular controls. According to this theory, Cingular asked Nokia to alter the phone's software and Nokia refused. Now they are each waiting for the other to blink.

    The other day I stopped into a local independent Cingy dealer and chatted with the manager. He told me the "inside story" which was a variation on the first rumor. According to theory 2, the bad guy is none other than Samsung. Apparently, the Samsung Blackjack and some other new Samsung phones use (or will be able to use) the new Cingular/Napster/Yahoo music service. The N75 would also be capable of using this and Samsung has some contractual exclusives that are preventing Cingular from releasing it, since Samsung doesn't want the competition.

    Can't verify any of this.

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 3/6/07 ***

    So does that mean that the N75 will be on hold until the exclusive contract with Samsung is over? How long will that be?

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 3/6/07 ***

    LOL! That's because I got the pictures from two different sources. The open-flip picture of the at&t phone also has the globe icon inside, but this one with the orange jack is a much better looking picture showing the open flip. But if you want, I can change it for the at&t globe just like I removed the hand that was holding the phone. ;)

    ...and by the way, in the closed-flip picture, that's not the back of the phone. :)

    I don't know and didn't ask. I don't really think this person has high-level knowledge, or any firm dates. He is probably just repeating what a manufacturer's rep told him. It's all rumor and could be self-serving.

    Well it's finally here. Not a bad price at $400 either, I think I paid the same for my 6682 and that had less features not to mention it wasn't a quad band. :)

    N75 on Cingular

    I don't like candybars, therefore, the BlackJack is not for me. Plus, it's a Samsung. I'm not very fond of Samsungs. I will wait until the N75 shows up in places like Wirefly. They have better deals there.

    Jay go into the Cingular main site and then shop for phones and see if you get it then. I can not. But if I follow the link from Charlyee and change to my ZIp code then it comes up I get the out of stock. And the $400 is for the full no contract price.

    You're right, it does come up as out of stock. I didn't notice that before.
