the hold up was there was never an official release date for the c600 or the wizard. the 11/18 release date was just an internet rumor that was flying around. today was the first day the cingular corporate office in my city even heard anything about any new smart device being released and that is the wizard, which im told to expect in time for the christmas season... still there is no c600 anywhere in sight on cingular product roadmaps though

when it does get released though im sure there will be an official announcment from cingular at least a week ahead of time because that is how long it usually takes all the stores to get our collateral and brochours and promotional material and phones before an phone hits the retail market.

RUMOR: has it that the company CarToys (in the Pac NW) has bought a bunch of i-mate products from microsoft to sell in their stores including the wizard and sp5/sp5m. they will be selling the sp5(m) for around 350 without a contract. I havent had time to confirm this though but i live like right accross the street from a CarToys so ill check it out tomorrow... and might possibly post a confirmation from a new phone :twisted:

RUMOR KILLER: Went to CarToys, theyre only selling the old 2003SE stuff from i-mate. nothing new
