Unless he's including extras, I'd say closer to $100. The 5600 is at least a couple years old, and hardware devalues fast in the WM world.

2) In the posting he said it had WinMob 5. Was that phone upgradable to that or is that a mistake?

There was no formal upgrade available, but there was a leaked beta version that could work. I don't know how well it works, though.

3) Would you go for the audiovox or argue cingular into an upgrade with a 3125 (the other possibility that's crossed my mind. I have another 9 months on my contract, but I was thinking it probably wouldn't be impossible to argue for an upgrade given that I'd be adding a large data plan in addition to accepting a 2yr extension on my contract.)

Personally, I'd go with the 3125. It has a QVGA screen, which is a big improvement over the 176 x 220 display of the 5600. The 3125 has EDGE, so internet connections would be around 3x faster. And it has native WM5. All that said, you'd probably be paying a lot more for the 3125 than for the 5600. Have you considered the 2125? It's basically the hardware of the 3125 in the form factor of the 5600. It's been out for awhile, so it should be cheap.
