Cingular Makes the Audiovox SMT 5600 Official
Last week we got word that the SMT5600 had resurfaced on the Cingular network, but even with all of you looking for it, we just could not find it. The one thing that bothered me the most since that announcement was the lack of a press release. I have checked the Cingular press site everyday since, and there is still no mention of it. Finally, the press release has been found! It was issued at 9:00am EST this morning. There is no mention of when the phone will be in stores, but it does confirm the $199.99 price, and the features have not changed. From Bluetooth, to Windows Media Player, to Tri-Band, to embedded camera, it's all the same. It appears the only difference will be the branding on the phone. You can now expect the Audiovox to sport the cool Cingular logo. Here's a short clip from the press release.
"Cingular Wireless, the largest wireless carrier in the United States, and UTStarcom Personal Communications Division (formerly Audiovox Communications Corp.), a division of UTStarcom, Inc., today announced the availability of the Audiovox SMT 5600 Smartphone to all Cingular Wireless customers. ..."The Audiovox SMT 5600 continues to be widely popular and we are happy that Cingular Wireless' customers will now have access to this state-of-the-art, award-winning handset," said Philip Christopher, president, UTStarcom Personal Communications Division."
