Hey Soop, any pics or a general description?

Sounds like the "Cingularized" V3x w/ 850 or E825 to me. *crosses his fingers*

Is this the one:

I'll keep you all posted but right now there is nothing as far any details. I find it a trip because we're basically going to have 3 more RAZRs coming out... V3i, RAZR 2 (Canary), and the IRAZ (HSDPA RAZR).

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up dropping the v3i or Canary though.

We are supposed to launch our video service soon, where basically you can send live video one-way to another Cingular phone while in voice mode, we had a synonym for it but I forget it now. Very well could be a customized v3x but I do not know.

Facts: RAZR style, UMTS/HSDPA, Code Name: IRAZ

Thanks for the information; no matter how little. This makes me feel much, much better now. I hope Cingular does drop the V3i, skips the Canary, and then goes for this beast.

Oh...and not get the Capri either.

wow thats alot of phones you want to scrap for this one phone you havent even seen and know very little details about. I'm all for them dropping the V3i because that charade is getting ridiculous now. but i would like to see the canary.

That's exactly what it is. They've been out over here for a while and I was tempted to pick one up, but it was only a Euro tri band and I've had issues using Euro branded phones on Cingular's data network.

Is it tri banded for US (1900/1800/850)?

3 phones is alot? Please. More than triple that number is released without Cingular touching them.

I actually have reasons for wanting them avoided:

1) V3i - I personally think it's not positioned to sell very well; ie. against FREE Razrs (the common person doesn't really want to pay 200+ dollars for a memory slot, iTunes, and a pretty blue light), against a technologically superior cousin (the V3m and I use superior in a relative sense), and I'm sure most people can't tel the difference between the Razrs (people ask me if my V3i is a "Razr" not the MODEL. They can't tell the difference if I don't tell them).

2) Canary - Exclusivity. Verizon is supposed to be getting this one as well but , again like the V3i/V3m debacle, with a "superior" feature set not to mention the other versions rumored to be floating around (Alltel, Suncom, etc.). It is being positioned as the name implies; Razr 2 - another phone everyone and their mom has because it's the "it" phone. No thanks.

3) Capri - I just don't want Cingular to release it so when I get one it'll be rare and I don't have to see 12-year old kids with them. Selfish? Yes. Do I care? Nope.

As for wanting a phone I have scant details on - I had scant details on the V3 when it was first rumored. But I bought one. Before it became "it" in my area. Also, from what I've seen if this phone makes it to mass production then it won't matter if Cingular gets it or not - I'll buy it.

I cannot wait for this.

It'll probably take something like the V3x to break Cingular's 3G market open, not these dull pieces of crap from Samsung and LG.

Couldn't agree more...

Also update the code name I goofed up on, its actually the IZAR... unless our product development team messed up.

LOL. sure we will see when this phone come out if it does. you guys just make good looking phones

[ivwshane]

Anything from nokia? Or any decent candy bar style phones with a good feature set coming out?

--mini rant

It's funny because a lot of people want flip phones to keep the keys from dialing but it's the flip phones that always cause problems with random button presses (z520 and the samsung d407 have this issue).
