I guess it's finally here, now I just need to wait to see when my local store gets it.

it's on wirefly for $50 after rebate. yes, please.

So what are they officially packaging with it? I don't see it off the cingular site yet...

.7 Did you see this on Cingular's Website or where? I have check Premier, Regular and OLAM and no dice.

Pics of cingular branding???

Yup, I dont see it either on their site.

But I really want one of these now, I tend to like cingular branded phones, instead of unlocked....

I will be picking one of these up to go alongside my RED C417.

I have to call BS. Not on Cingular site yet. I heard 9/26...nope, 9/29...maybe, and 10/3...probably. But it ain't out yet, at least online...

Nice excitement ploy though...

man .7 has been here longer than you know, and has a good amount of inside knowledge, just because it is not immediately on the site yet don't doubt. stuff about the phone is everywhere for us cingular employees. so it will be very soon. so it is hardly a ploy

both the LG CU500 and the Nokia E62 all of the sudden showed up in my local COR store today w/o any advanced warnings of any kinds. and yes, neither one of these phones are on the website either but yet they still have shown up.

therefore its very probable that the W810i could start showing up at any time now as well. so maybe you should stop rolling your eyes and maybe think about what I just said.

Wow...you guys are testy! No sense of humor.

.7...I apologize if I offended you, and doubted your obvious knowledge. I've been hearing dates for months (like everybody else) and have all but shelved my initial excitement for the phone because I grew weary of the pre-release (and the pre-pre-pre-release) hype. Just a little exasperated, that's all.

I have been holding onto my upgrade for either the SE or the Cing. 3125, and still haven't made up my mind. Of course, with all the talk of the CU500 being a better phone with the latest updates...I have been thinking about trying it again too. Who knows...

can some one please tell me what cingy's outright (no commitment) cost is?

An indirect Cingular dealer at my local mall had the dummy models with Cingular branding and all when I was there today. He said they will have the phone next week.

If you're going to do that you might as well get an unlocked one. No reason to pay full price through Cingular just to get their branding and software changes.

How about calling your local COR store and asking them if they have it in stock? I stated on the closed thread that they are starting to appear in COR locations. I will list a phone released as long as I have absolute conformation that it is available through at least one sales channel through Cingular.

I could care less what you think is BS or not, I know I'm right so I don’t require your seal of approval.

For those that want a head start I would try to call your local COR locations by noon tomorrow.
