(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

How likely is this phone to be released in the next few months? Because of the Apple iPhone would this have any impact on it's release or nonrelease?

If you mean released by Cingular then not likely at all. If you mean by Verizon (as the Ve) then it should be out be March (I believe).

Not happening if it doesn't have WCDMA1900; no Cingular 3G phone has just 850 - they all are dual-band WCDMA850/1900. So unless the "quad-band" GSM Maxx is rockin' "dual-band" WCDMA don't get your hopes up regarding Cingular releasing it. Sorry.

i remember reading a thread about this phone and that it was being considered for the new video share service any truth to this? maybe ihap can chime in on this as to the phone being released at all by the new at&t?

I wish Cingular would consider releasing this phone. What else does Moto have in the pipeline besides this phone for future releases that Cingular might use?



Posted by: keiri

Well, there is the K3, Z6, Z8, and the V9. Supposedly all GSM models with HSDPA (except the Z6 which is EDGE) and not to mention the new SCPL broadband platform that will be unveiled sometime this year.

But I wouldn't hold me breath for any of these except the K3 or Z6 on Cingular...

Yeah, news for us!



Oh baby. The UI sucks but our 2mp camera has autofocus and the outer LCD is damn near as big as the inner.

Interesting. I wonder if they won't release any new phones before the release of the Apple iPhone?

If you mean Cingular - then of course they will. I mean they already have that new Pantech approved, plus we can forget about the A717 and A727, and those 2 Nokia's. I highly doubt, actually, I know they will not wait until the iPhone is released to release the others.

If you mean Motorola - I am sure they will to. They are money hungry just like every other company, and no company is going to put off putting phones for 5 more months just so they can wait for the iPhone, i dont see why they would either way.

I see Cingular getting the K3, maybe the Z6, and I would see them also offering as a Cingular exclusive the SCPL series, since they have done the same for ever other major slim phone series released by Motorola (Razr, Slvr). Cingular loves Motorola.

ooo baby who cares (besides the Verizon people of course), if you want to see a phone with a big screen, see the iPhone. Verizon is totally dumb as heck for not signing a contract with Apple, because no matter how you look at it the iPhone is going to be huge. Not to start a debate.

truth be told I really don't think motorola is all that happy with cingular, besides the fact that they have had the release exclusives with verizon(moto q(yeah I know cdma only for now) krzr and prob. cdma version of maxx also, and verizon and moto also have a network equipment deal, as well as moto with sprint for cdma and 1/3 or their new wi-max network(plus moto owns a sizable amount of sprint stock from the nextel deal) and with the fact that cing buys no network equipment from moto and strips moto's phones of features(I mean c'mon removing the front music buttons fro the cing krzr, what the hell for), business is business in the corp. world and motorola has to bow to the operator they do the most total business with not just handsets and with the fact that cing. has a major H*&D ON for sammy and lg, moto might be letting cing. swing in the wind for a little or cing really dosen't care what moto is offering. Just my 2 cents worth

any chances cingular having the k3 its better than the maxx by my choose?
will they keep the camara and will it will support video sharing?????



Posted by: Maverick05

i like the verizon maxx's keypad more than the gsm maxx because the keys/numbers are separated and they don't have those verticle lines on the outside of the keypad like the razr and v3xx and maxx but are gone like on the v3i.

I agree with you 100%! Something is going on between Cingular and Moto. I think when they let Cingular have the exclusive on the Razr either a). An implied agreement wasn't met (like for letting you have this exclusive, you'll agree to by network equipment from us) or b). An un-implied agreement wasn't met (like for letting you have this exclusive, maybe in the future you'll consider purchasing your network equipment from us.) At any rate, somebody, rubbed somebody the wrong way and now Moto is no longer in Cingys back pocket. Thoughts???

Actually, it's much simpler than that...Cingular realized that Motorola phones are a) built with low quality components and b) they are poorly built. And, so some markets opted to stop carrying certain Motorola phones, and Cingular raised the bar on Motorola (and they didn't meet expectations). Hence, the the growth of Samsung and LG within Cingular marketing. It has worked quite well too, there are less DOAs with LG (not as before) and Samsung, then Motorola could muster. Also, Motorola only seemed to make EDGE-less wonders, and that didn't fit Cingular's 3G Mania. Of course, politics are always present, so let's also add that Cingular wasn't too happy with Motorola and it's Verizon exclusives. Plus, by the same token, Cingular is looking to grow it's branded handsets (Cingular 8525, 2125, 8125, 3125, etc). Bah, I'll keep my LG CU500 over the Motorola V3xx anyday...
