Posted by: dragonx6x

I havent had a knew phone in awhile, im still using my V600. Ive been looking for a new phone and this fits me perfectly. I was wondering if anyone owns this phone branded so i know its actually in production or if i should move on. I need a new phone soon and this one is taking awhile.

And does anyone know if it will be released in other colors besides orange? The pics on Bengalboy is like a dark blue or blackish color.

Please hurry up cingular....

Anyone have personal pics of the phone?

you're asking Cingular to hurry up? ha! now thats funny, really funny.

but seriously, the W600 is due to be released somewhere in Nov but not with Cingular, at least not anytime within our lifetimes.

your best bet would be to buy in directly from SE (or one of their resellers) when its officially launched. then you can just pop in your SIM card and you'll be good to go.

^Thanx for the falso hope....

That Moto looks sexy in that pic. This phone is gonna be my first off 1 thats not Moto that im gonna buy. There was my samsung p107 but i lost it within a month and im kinda happy i did.

doesn't one of the employee contests involve a w600 as a price? so one would assume cingy would pick it up...

says who?

I would be VERY, VERY surprised if your statement is true because SE hasnt even made it available for purchase yet directly from them.

so you figure, from the time its available (from them) to the time that Cingular gets their grubby paws on it to "F" the phone's software up could take God only knows how many months and months until they make it available to their customers. and by the way, does the old saying "400 hour rigorous testing program" ring a bell? if so, lets not forget that will also apply to this phone with Cingular as well. so now you can plan on somewhere around Dec or Jan of '06 at the EARLIEST if you're depending on the lovely brains with Cingular to make this phone available through them.

^ so to sum it all up, dont wait on Cingular if you want this phone. it "should" be debuted through SE in Nov. I say buy it through them and have fun. screw waiting on Cingular.

i've toyed with the z520 and the w600, they work great...awesome rf and not slow or buggy like the s710 was when it was released. the se guys said sometime around 1st or 2nd week of november..

^ You had a unbranded or cingular w600?



Posted by: shawncv79

Posted by: dragonx6x

huh? what do you know? i was asking which one did you have?



Posted by: I have a phone

I have used one and it should be appearing next month.

-edited--watch it you two, please dont derail the thread.

@dragonx6x - it was an unbranded/demo model w600, however the z520 was also there and was cing. branded. the rep was using a cing sim card in it when he showed it to us.

I think the reason why #8 feels this way is because of the way Cingular handled the S710a. So, based on past experience with an SE phone, he feels that it's going to be a repeat performance with Cingular. Not that I blame him, but I guess we'll see how Cingular is going to handle this one in due time.

Cingular will be getting the w600, and its slated to be released in November, any suggestion to the contrary is false.

Now, will it be released in November? No one knows that until it happens.

Sonyericsson is already running a contest on the device for Cingular employees as well, I highly doubt they would have a contest on a device that they have no intention of selling with Cingular.

Yes, Cingular has not released phone on time in the past, but I'm positive that not all of that is Cingular's fault. Its coming, and hopefully unlike the s710, it will be here for the holidays.

I for one miss my s710a as I had to sell it to make some ends meet (that and I have to carry a PTT phone here shortly) and cant wait to check it out. I think my s710 was one of the nicest phones I have ever had. I think I read somewhere that the w600 isnt put together quite like the s710a in sturdiness and the keypad seems a little chinsy from what Ive seen. If it has the same UI as the s710 I for one wont be disappointed.

^Thanx. But i remember there being a contest for the A630 for cingular and it never came out (i could be wrong). But anyway im hoping for this phone to realease by christmas,

Il keep hoping. As soon as the cingular branded one drops il be a happy camper. Im really tired of this V600.

Last Thursday I stopped by cingular store to see what new phones they had. 6682 none in stock. The woman I talked with said they would get a lot of new phones in the middle of November. I mentioned Z520 and W600. should be coming.
