Oh wow, after all the waiting (and the insane activity on HoFo Cingular PDA threads), PPC Thoughts got the scoop on the official announcement
This is great, I'll be looking to buy it Nov 16!
Edit: Assuming $399 is with a new 2-yr activation, does anyone know the 2-yr upgrade price, and unsubsidized price? Will Cingular offer any additional discounts (via MIR?) as a launch promotion? Will 3rd-party resellers also get the 8525 right away and be able to sell it cheaper than Cingular?
Will any 8525 subsidy require adding a Cingular PDA/Data Connect service ($40-45/month for unlimited usage) to your voice plan? Or can you stick with a MEdia Net bundle (ie. MEdia Max unlimited data as low as $20/month)?
If you do want to tether the 8525 to your laptop once in awhile, would you need to add the more expensive Laptop Connect service ($60/month for unlimited usage) to your voice plan? Or can you stick with PDA/Data Connect service?
P.S. The
