Default Massive Cingular 2125 Rebate!

http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/media/pdf/WEST8_5010_1539.pdf?WT.svl=reb35

"...Cingular VISA Reward Card Offer valid only with the purchase of a qualified Cingular device with activation on a qualified service plan from a participating Cingular Wireless Retail Store, DMDR, Authorized Agent or Cingular.com between June 4, 2006 and July 22, 2006. For data devices noted above, all customers must activate at time of purchase on a 2-year Cingular Voice Plan $39.99 or higher plus Unlimited Data Feature"

The above screenshot and quote were taken from the new rebates Cingular has released this month. Looking at the screenshot you will notice Cingular’s huge $150 mail-in-rebate for the Cingular 2125/HTC Faraday. The rebate does require a new two year contract/upgrade as well as signing up for the MEdia Net Unlimited data plan ($19.99/month). If you ask me, this is a step in the right direction for Cingular since you rarely see them pushing Windows Mobile devices so aggressively.

$150 rebate? So what's that make the phone worth? $50 or so? Crazy!

This latest move places the 2125 on par with the Q, as far as price goes. Is this Cingular's way of stealing a little thunder from Verizon's new toy?

Default Even better

I just got this phone from Amazon for FREE after rebate. Plus, for some reason, you do NOT need any MEdiaNET data package through amazon. $39.99 voice plan works fine!

I also got a 2GB Mini SD for $37 at amazon!

I've only had the phone a few days, but I love it so far!

Great deal. I got a $50 and $100 rebate when I bought the 2125 a few weeks ago.

This phone is great. Compared to my AT&T SMT5600 I get signal everywhere.

Another reason Cingular sometimes discounts phones this heavily is to make way for a new model...could it be??? 8O

Last I checked, Amazon had the T-Mobile SDA for -$10 after rebate and the T-Mobile MDA for $50 after rebate. Those are smokin' good deals!

This might get me to return that Q I just bought...where can I download this rebate form? After seeing this, and working out the details, the Verizon plan seems overpriced. I can get this smartphone with unlimited data for at least $20 less a month less.
