Looking for a great deal on a Windows Mobile Standard handset? Well right now you can grab a refurbished Samsung Blackjack for the low price of $50USD, with no mail-in rebates! You do, however, have to sign up for a new two year contract. Smile



If you are like me and cannot stomach the thought of using a refurbished device, or could care less about the Samsung Blackjack, there are a few other deals that Cingular has right now on other Windows Mobile Standard devices! Here are a few of there other offerings below. Remember, all of these deals require a new two year contract!

  • Samsung Blackjack (new) - $74.99USD after mail-in rebate
  • Cingular 3125 (new) - $99.99USD after mail-in rebate
  • Cingular 3125 (refurb) - $79.99USD

Did you buy them from AT&T/Cingular? If so, take them back and exchange them! They offer a 30 day return policy, just make sure you bring back all of your packaging material or they will hit you with a restocking fee

Thanks Rocco! I was able to get one from Cingular Premier for the same price. Now I can tell my wife she can have one too and retire her classic RAZR on T-Mobile network. I can't wait to call Cingular, er, the "new" AT&T, to get unlock code. Wink Now I don't have to overpay for her Dash! In this case, yes, I would lock her phone in EDGE-only mode since T-Mobile and AT&T 3G are incompatible, and she would really maximize the battery life. We know how Samsung phones just love to eat batteries! Mad

FYI, the 3125 is no longer available in the Cingular stores, only online. My guess is it will be disappearing from there before to long as well.

My understanding is that the 3125 will not be getting the upgrade to Mobile 6 either.

As a 3125 owner, all of the above is extremely frustrating. I bought it new this past September to replace my old MPx220 (which I'm one of the few people who liked it) as I wanted the new O/S and a new phone. I didn't think 8 months later I'd be in the same boat. Especially, when I had to sign a 2yr contract to get it at a decent price Mad

To make matters worse, I've discovered one real pain in the neck design flaw with the phone. It has a micro switch inside that shuts it down whenever the battery cover is removed. Well, about two weeks ago the cover started slipping a little whenever I pulled it from my pocket and sure enough a slight shift and I'm dead in the water <sigh>. That's how I discovered the 3125 is no longer in the stores and being slowly phased out as I went in search of a replacement and the employees did their best but there's nothing left. So now it appears I'm going to have to find a way to tape it shut, YUCK!!!

Sorry for the diatribe. As I mentioned above I REALLY like the phone, but with the above issues, I wanted to get the word out so people were aware prior to taking advantage of Cingular's offers on it.

And just to top things off, from what I've heard, Cingular is not going to replace it with the HTC Erato / S420. They're just going to drop their one clamshell smartphone. Grr!
