Where in Cingular's website are claiming the 2125 has Wi-Fi? I don't remember seeing that ever, and the 2125 was conceived WiFi-less. The 8125 and 8525 (as well as their cameraless versions) do have Wi-Fi. The 2125 and 3125 do not have Wi-Fi; they were built without it so don't go crazy trying to hack the phone to enable something that Cingular didn't cripple and it's simply not there.

Wish I saw it too at one point. I made the mistake of buying it thinking I could use the wi-fi and save some money.

I like the phone never the less.

The HTC website says the Cingular 2125 has 802.11b Wi-Fi. What's the deal?

The deal is that the website is wrong.

Now the T-Mobile SDA has wifi and aside from that is basically the same as the 2125. I have the SDA and I use it on Cingular. Search for SDA on Cingular and you will find the thread that gives you the instructions on how to do that if it interests you.

I just double checked. Neither HTC America Website nor Cingular website says 2125 has wi-fi built-in. Do you have a link to prove that?

Cingular also known to have incorrect information about its phones. For example, my 8125 was listed as having a VGA (640x480) screen.

You apparently didn't look very hard.

I've had both versions of the 2125, the original version and the newer one, with the raised Power button. None of them have Wi-Fi. Apparently someone at HTC America wanted to cut corners and just copy/pasted information for the T-Mobile SDA into the Cingular 2125 specs table.

hmm sorry to bring this back but why does microsofts website say the 3125 has wifi while phonescoop and cingular's own site say nothing about it?

Because that made what is called a "mistake."
