Default Audiovox SMT5600 Available On AT&T Now For $199.99

http://www.attwireless.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/pda-phones.jhtml?ptype=lrn

World's smallest Windows Mobile Smartphone is now available in the US through AT&T Wireless for an unbelievably low price of $199.99. 8O

When I clicked on the link posted by our reader encece in this thread, I could not believe the price. The price includes $50 mail-in-rebate for 2 year service agreement and $70 instant rebate. Check out the specifications over here. You may have already noticed this but in case you didn't, AT&T is now offering unlimited internet for $24.99.

Eagerly waiting to see what AT&T's price will be for the MPx220. Another quick note, AT&T is still carrying the MPx200 for an unbelievably high price of $339.99. :lol:

I am really excited and looking forward to hearing live user feedback from this device. Would love to know how to unlock and use it with cingular. I am going to get it as soon as I can get my hands on one.

Let's see who the first one is to run down to the store and post a quick feedback. :lol: Especially the BT capability, whether Sync, File transfer and Modem works over BT or not?

Since it's basically a rebadged C500, I wonder if the C500 unlocking will work on it?

Default First Thoughts...

I've been using one for a few weeks now. First thoughts are posted on our weblog. http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/a...es/003897.html

BT works well and the device properly supports the Handsfree profile (which most cars with built in BT need, like the Acura). Sync over BT worked well and I was also able to connect to a BT GPS using PocketStreets 2005. The nice part is that this is the first phone with WM 10 Mobile (which is not an upgradeable component, it comes with the OS WM 2003 Smartphone SE, and you either have it or you don't).

Just came back from visiting 3 AT&T Stores...none have it in stock yet. (Mount Laurel, NJ; Cherry Hill, NJ; Cherry Hill Mall, NJ

One said to check back after 2:00pm when they get their shipments in.

Wow, I like this quote from your 'first thoughts':

Well, since WM 10 transcodes intelligently, I was able to fit four episodes of the West Wing on my phone and was able to watch them while I waited for my MRI one evening last week.

Shippments at 2:00pm? Sounds odd to me.

I would check SPT @ 2:00pm and then go to your local store. :wink:

Very odd....but I'll trust him on that one. I'll post around 2:30 to give what will probably be bad news (for me) Then I'll order one online and see if I can get FedEx shipment. I dont know the meaning of the word patience.

Not out of the question if they arrive via UPS or FedEx. I've never seen an AT&T 18-wheeler like I have Best Buy, etc...
