Cingular Version

I work for Cingular. I found a picture on our internal website of the x497. Looks kinda similar to the one on here, however there is a little stubby antenna. Also it is all silver, no black on it at all.

I don't think that's right. 😕 The X497 definitely does not have a stub antenna.

Rich...

I looked in Cingular's Sales Portal site, and just like the poster stated, the picture under product launch has a radically different look then the T Mobile X-495. It does indeed have a stub external antenna and a black lens around the external caller ID.

I actually found it to be very unattractive. So I'm hoping you're right on this one Rich. Do you possibly have any images yourself of the X-497? I really hope you are right on this one.

Hmm - I may have been wrong...

The original FCC approval for the X497 clearly showed a phone with an internal antenna. But now that's been replaced by a new approval, and this time it has a stub antenna. ☚ī¸

I'll dig deeper and see if there might be other differences in this new version.

can I expect any difference in performance between x495 with internal antenna and x497 with stub (or s307 with stub).

I will be using the cingular network, and am in the process of buying a phone via ebay
