Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

Christopher Price of PCSIntel.com reports that four new UMTS 3G phones are coming very soon for Cingular's lineup. They could be out as early as December, but as we all know, things usually get pushed back so I would place a safer bet on seeing these early next year.

Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

Yep....it looks like Cingular is really building out a real wireless company this time. I think Cingular's phone lineup is definitely the best right now. And this is just the start! Besides phones, I hear several other surprises coming which many of you probably already heard of such as a new MediaNet interface, MobiRadio, AnswerTones, OLAM restrict, GPS, to name a few.

 

Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

As always carriers will broadcast in the bands they are licensed to use. Just like GSM, TDMA, CDMA, etc. UMTS will be 850 where GSM is 850. At the same time, UMTS will be 1900 where GSM is 1900. And if GSM is both 850 and 1900 in your area, then UMTS will be both 850 and 1900 as well. So, yes your phone will need both 850 and 1900.

In the beginning, though, you might see UMTS in one band and then expand into the second band. But the plan is to have UMTS in both bands anywhere Cingular has license for both bands.

 

Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

UMTS will work on any frequency you put it on. You just have to clear out the space so that it doesn't interfere with GSM. For instance, UMTS 850 can be using a 10Mhz space of the 25Mhz total space allocated at 850Mhz. The remaining 15Mhz can be allocated for GSM. This way there is no interference.

 

Re: New Cingular fonez!

I haven't heard of any pushbacks on the V3i, but you never know.

 

Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

Seems like a great phone. The only complaints I've heard are really minor and quite subjective such as the keys being flat against the phone making it a bit hard to dial without looking at it; or that the orange color doesn't appeal to them, or some complain that the phone doesn't have removable memory because 256MB is not enough for them! Go figure. My phone has the Transflash with 128MB and that's more than enough for me.

However, the REALLY IMPORTANT features seem like they work right, such as the sound level and quality, signal reception, the menu speed, software reliability/robustness, ease of use and battery life. They are all great.

 

Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

Oh yes! The menu speed is awesome on the z520! It does get stuck sometimes when the phone is really busy, like when you are in a phone call and at the same time you try to go in the menus to do other things, it does get laggy, but if you wait it comes back to normal eventually. Just like a computer. It depends on what you're doing. But Web browsing is also very comfortably fast. The browser in Motorolas is just painfully slow.

But for the most part, the phone beats the Motorolas in all battery life, sound quality and menu speed by a large margin! The only problem is non-standard headset port, and you can't hack it to disable the poor quality Half Rate codec. Another problem I've found is that CSD is so difficult to get it working on the z520, but it does work sometimes. CSD is much more reliable in the Motorolas.
