Audiovox SMT 5600
So...anyone know if Cingular is going to be offering this phone? I love it, but dread the possibility that it may go into the realm of "unsupported."
It seems like it'd be pretty easy for them to offer it. It runs Windows CE, so it seems like you could just reformat the ROM with Cingular branded software, and, voila, it's no longer an AT&T phone. The case is branded Audiovox, so no branding problems there (which, ironically, would probably be harder to fix, seeing as software changes are pretty simple, but repainting a bunch of phones would be a pain-in-the-ass). And, I mean, the MPX 220 is a smartphone and offered by Cingular, so I don't see any inherent problems.

It's probably not going to happen since we've never carried audiovox before. I'm not sure what the reasons behind that are, possibly some disagreement between Cingular and Audiovox... however it is being sold at our ATT stores. If you could talk someone into unlocking it.... *shrugs*

they arent, its a phone that is LEAGUES better then that motorola garbage, but i can guarantee they won't carry it because its something people like, and when people like something, generally it goes away, especially something as beautiful as the SMT 5600, i am going to get mine ASAP so i can unlock it and use it on tmobile and cingular
