Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 Like the C600, the worst kept secret in town.... there has been a good deal of talk on the grapevine regarding Cingular - incorporating the network formerly known as AT&T Wireless - taking on a HTC Tornado variant and the HTC Wizard. Well, it's now official! Cingular will soon begin selling the HTC 2100/2125 - a HTC Faraday variant (identical but with / without camera). and the HTC 8100/8125, a HTC Wizard variant with / without camera. The choice to pick up the Faraday as opposed to the Tornado means that WiFi is absent from the Smartphone, but it WILL feature on the Wizard (802.11g). More details can be found on this Cingular page. What is very interesting in this announcement is that Cingular appear to be branding the phones 'HTC'... a watershed in that HTC have previously only ODM'd devices for other manufacturers or operators... could this mark a change of tactic to develop HTC into a retail brand? Only time will tell! More pics and info as it comes in! ;) P Credit: MSMobiles
Guest nickcornaglia Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 I never noticed that cingular's store is not on the cingular.com domain. I was going to warn people not to buy anything from that link...but it appears to be correct.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) BTW...dont know if I'm going with the Smartphone or PPC nor if I'm buying from Cingular or MadMonkeyBoy. But I am buying one of them! Edited October 24, 2005 by nickcornaglia
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Hmm i really want a wizard! Been using my Magician a lot recently and i think i might actually be turning from Smartphone ;)
Guest mkent_barbados Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Damn, the Cingular version looks great! Any ideas to when I could get one? Was going to buy the iMate, but this looks much nicer (well, as far as I can tell from the teeny screenshot)
Guest Jakaroe808 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 Well I'v been a member for some time now, but I don't post much. The HTC 2100/2125 and HTC 8100/8125 has got my mouth watering and looks like something to talk about. I am definatly picking up the 2125 on release date. Wi-fi seems to be the only question in everyones mind but it is not so important to me. I pay for unlimited dada connect now so as long as I have EDGE I'll be ok. Check out this info from a Cingular insider http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/index.php?...st=0#entry43499 Sorry for the redirect, MoDaCo, your still my favorite ;) Good bye MPx220 :cry: , hello HTC 2125 :D PaulyA
Guest Dingens Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Hey Folks sorry to bring this up again, but has anyone seen a nice case and other accessories for the HTC 8100 yet ? Vodafon ein Germany brought out the same model and now a bunch of Germans is looking for some additional stuff. Thanks Dingens Edited January 13, 2006 by Dingens
