    Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

    Nobody knows the exact date because Cingular can change it anytime. Some approximation is usually known a few days before release.

    Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

    Forgive me for belaboring the point, but if Cingular simply wanted to send the phone back to Nokia for a feature enhancement, they could have done that last winter - Phonescoop has an article about the "launch event" back in December 05.

    Why did they go into testing (some of the test phones showed up on eBay), why were Nokia reps bringing the 6282 around to the stores this spring for the managers to become familiar with it, why was it on the rebate sheet and why did Cingular distribute flyers on the phone to at least some stores? Seems to me that there was some major indecision here. Some parts of the company were working toward a launch in May/June/July. Then they decided to pass.

    All academic, really, but it doesn't make them look too good and adds to the frustration of us gadget freaks.:D Thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge :).

    Re: New Cingular fonez coming soon!

    Maybe it is all procedural stuff. Maybe they had to go through the testing procedure anyway in order to gather everything they wanted to change on the phone and then send that info back to Nokia. I'm sure adding 850 is not the only thing they want to change on it.

    Bobolito:
    I think I posted my question in the wrong place. I was talking about the Samsung zx20. I wanted to know when and if this phone is coming out. After exhausting research and racking my brains about this I think we are going to stay with Verizon but we are taking the year contract instead of the two year. I appreciate all the feedback I got from everyone. Thanks to all.

    For those of you waiting for the 6126, it will no longer be in Cingular stores for July 5th. :( Rumor Radio says it has been delayed for about two extra weeks to get new firmware that just came out tested.

    OK, thanks for the heads-up. This is really going to be cutting it close for me - I posted in another thread about my informal agreement with Cingular to get the 6126 at the discount price. I need it to come out by July 19! Eek! I mean :eek: !!

    Re: *** UPDATED 5/4/06 *** Cingular Phones Coming Soon!

    I needed to get a new contract for various reasons, but I convinced them to give me the 2-year price on the 6126 when it's released. They said OK, but we'll only hold the offer for 30 days. I want to save that 100 bucks! :browani:

    Re: *** UPDATED 5/4/06 *** Cingular Phones Coming Soon!

    I stand corrected. I'd still feel like a chump if I paid full price while at the same time promising to pay them $50+/month x24. They should give me the phone for free!! :D

    Re: *** UPDATED 5/4/06 *** Cingular Phones Coming Soon!

    I decided to pay full price when it comes out. I totally refuse getting a 2-yr contract and if I buy it at the 1-yr price is only $32 cheaper than buying it full price, all because of the much hated $18 upgrade fee. So, I rather pay $32 more than the 1-yr price and be able to continue contract-free. ;)

    Well, if they give me a hard time about the release date, maybe I'll take that position. Then we'll see how they react. Thanks for the strategy! :D

    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    bobolito, all the picture of the 6126 that you have posted are silver with the salmon pink insert. My 6131 is black with black and the pictures of the 6126 on the Nokia site are also black with black.

    Is the silver pink a special color for Cingular?

    Just curious.

    Thanks much...:)

    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    I was told by a guy in the Chicago Nokia store that the Cingular 6126 is going to have that black rubbery stuff like yours. I was holding one of the T-Mobile 6103s that has the same covering, and he offered that tidbit, contrasting it with the smooth shiny 6102i that Cingular has now.

    Yeah, I believe the Cingular version will be black too. I just have to get new pictures for the post. ;)

    Charlyee, I don't see a microphone on this phone. Do you know where it is?

    Re: New Cingular fonez!

    Ah, you changed the picture, now it looks just like my phone, except ofcourse I have both Chinese and English characters on some of the keys..:D I was hoping it is not the shiny chrome of the 6682, that thing was way too slippery. I really like the "black rubbery stuff"(thanks for the graphic description Steve), it feels very good in my hands.

    If you mean the external speaker, it is on the bottom right, behind the protruding chrome lip in line with the on/off and the camera button as you are looking at the phone the way your pictures are. Yes I know, what was Nokia thinking?....:)

    No, I am talking about the microphone. In all pictures I've seen, I see no tiny hole for the microphone in the bottom lip area.

    Oops sorry, you did say microphone in your original post also...:O .

    Nope there is absolutely no tiny hole anywhere that I can see, unless it is hidden in the slits on the keypad. I don't think it would be with the external speaker, sorry I have no idea where they hid the microphone.

    Re: Cingular Phones Coming Soon! *** UPDATED 7/19/06 ***

    Any word on when the ZX20 will be out? I am going to buy 3 phones on family plan and waiting for a 3G PDA for work and 2 phones for my sister and my dad. Can this phone be used as a modem?

    I believe Nokia's have the Microphone in the bottom of the unit by the cable plug connections, I think this is a norm for most of their phones.

    Yep, candybar phones are like that, but the 6126 doesn't have any port at the bottom like every other phone. Still, you could be right and maybe there's a tiny hole at the bottom of the phone all by itself.

    Fire, all the connections for the 6131/6126 are at the top of the phone, the botton has a smooth silver trim.
    bobolito if you can find a tiny hole at the bottom of this phone, you have better eye sight than Superman.....:D
