HTC TyTN aka Hermes coming to Cingular?

[Heywood43]

According to this link the successor of the HTC Wizard will be available in the US from Cingular. See it here:

I have searched around but could not find any other web site to confirm this. Does anyone know if this is true? If so when will it be available?

I am on the fence regarding purchasing an HTC Wizard (8125) through Cingular. Once I saw this though now I am tentative. I don’t want to buy that and then the next version comes out a few months later. Especially when this version has double the CPU and UMTS/HSDPA.

Thanks!

I'm also interested in Cingular getting the TyTN. But, I was too impatient to wait, so I found a used 8125 for $175.00 on Craigslist and it'll hold me over until the TyTN or a new WM5 Treo gets to Cingular.

I'm very pleased with the 8125, although I do miss my VGA screen on my old X50v. :cry:

I have another post on this topic at smartphone thoughts. Someone there was kind enough to post this link:

Hi Guys,
If cingular delivers on bringing HTC TyTN to the USA, Cingular can count on me to be the first customer to change to their service.

Yeah, I'll probably switch from T-Mobile to Cingular also. I'm gonna be in Mississippi by then, and looking at T-Mobile's map for (lack of) coverage for that area it would seem I'll have to switch another provider regardless. Anyone know which provider supports HSDPA yet?
