A little competition for MPX 200? See this link showing the Audivox SMT5600 coming to AT&T Wireless.

A thread on Howard Forums is saying the phone could show up within 2 weeks.
Tough decision, MPX 220 or Audiovox SMT5600. |
Thanks Gator5000e, I am so excited. I am going to post this on the main page soon.

For me, the MPx220 seems much more tempting, but I like flip phones.
The T-mobile SDA seems nice though and I really want the XDA compact.

|
|
I went to my local best buy in Downers Grove, IL, and I saw the price tag for the mpx220 next to the other Cingular phones, but no phone was on display. The price on it was $349 with a 2 year contract. There was another note on the price tag that said there would be a $150 up-charge if you purchased it without activation. On the specs it said that the phone had 64mb of memory (I read some rumors of a 32mb version). When I asked about buying the phone they said they did not have any in stock, and they were not sure when it would come in.
I'm currently on the ~18 month mark of a Cingular contract. Best Buy said I would have to ask Cingular about the possibility of upgrading without the $150 charge. Does anyone have any experience with Cingular doing this?
FYI if an admin reads this it might be a good time to create a Cingular forum |

Or rename the AT&T forum.  Anyone know what the final name will be once the merger is completed?

Enough with my stupid comments  . Best Buy's website doesn't show it available yet, and neither does a store here. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer ;P

I don't think there has been any indication that they will come out on T-Mobile USA, has there? I think it's pretty independent from T-Mobile in Europe.
I'm also a T-Mo USA customer, and am unhappy that all the new smartphones in the USA are coming out on ATT/Cingular!
It looks like the SDA is coming out on ATT too (from an article here), not with the name SDA, but as the C500, which I think is basically the same unit.
No announcements about good smartphones coming out on T-Mo USA!

For T-Mobile you could get an unlocked mpx220 and pop in the sim card.
I noticed some MPx220's popping up on ebay. Some of the auctions admit that they are engineering samples, and others just say its brand new. The people with real photos are showing the "black" version, while a few people asian sellers are using the silver factory pictures. Who knows what version you would actually get.

No MPx220 at my local Best Buy either -- the guy had no pity on me with my forlorn face, he just would say "I've never even heard of it."
