399 w/ 2yr

499 no contract.

I thought this was old news already. This is/was the target price, but I guess no one will know for sure until its on the website or in a store

Does that mean that it did not pass approval, or simply that the approval date was not today??

I believe that the scheduled date of approval was today and it was not approved. I really dont know what to read into it. Im of the opinion that it just didnt get approved today rather than it failed approval today.

I will try to get more info.

I'm hoping it means the people at cingular took a long lunch today and weren't able to get to the approval of it and it'll be approved tomorrow.

I hope.

4800 s710A's will be shipped to Cingular on the 27th. I am not sure of the price but there will be several shipments being made in the next couple of weeks according to Cingular's warehouse stock.

What is the source of your info?? 🙂

i say id rather not say..

you say if you dont have proof it should be considered false.....

..i say that I heard this from literally "the horses mouth" if you will, and believe what you will....

ect..ect..

real people get really fired for divulging info, so in my own best interest, i keep it vauge.

others sources in HOFO have confirmed that this is the scheduled date of approval.

dont consider my response as tort, I was just fast forwarding through the inenvitable 😉

For what it is worth, I was in a Cingular store over the weekend and talked to a Manager there. He said "Cingular will be releasing a bunch of phones between now and Feb 8th with the S710A being one of them"

I know most employees at the store have no info but I thought I would pass along what I heard. Also, they had a ton of American Idol advertisements in the store and most had the s710a on them...

But why would they label the S700i as Coming Soon also? It doesn't make sense. That phones been out since the beginning of time. 😕

I noticed that as well. I REALLY hope it gets the final approval today.

SIDE NOTE: on the hofo forums, there has been a new firmware circulating the boards that supposedly makes a world of difference in the speed of the menu navigation (is know to be very slow) and reception. While some may be a little sceptical, I had a night and day experience with a firmware update on my T616 on AWS. My reception was SO much better after the upgrade. It will be interesting to see if these updates will be in the Cingular version and what will be supported in the future in way of firmware updates, which Cingular has traditionally not supported.

Well maybe its everywhere else but not the US. 🙄 The people selling them probably shipped them from overseas.

It is the US though, that's the thing. And it wasnt always labeled as Coming Soon.
