Cingular and TMobile to release hw6900?


Confirmed reports to be released this weekend.

Well numerous people have been sending us info hourly and apparently what we are seeing is that the next Mobile Messenger will be model number hw6920/hw6925 w/wo camera through Cingular. Also HP has informed us that is in the final stages of confirming a combined release with T-Mobile also. We have seen HP do this repeatedly before but can this be the actual release? Either way TMobile customers should be excited.. Here is also a chat session one of our readers had with HP today..



Hello, you are now chatting with Jeff.

Jeff: Hello and welcome. To make sure I get you to the best Sales Consultant for your solution, please tell me about how we can help you today?

you: Jeff, Good afternoon. I was just checking the web site to see if the status of the delivery date for the Ipaq 6900 had changed from "Coming Soon". I was told in a previous chat that it would be released by the end of Aug. Any new news?

Jeff: Glad to hear that you are interested in our new hw6900 ipaq model.

Jeff: The hw6900 model is expected to release this weekend

you:
Very cool!!! Do you know when Cingular will be releasing their version?

Jeff:
The hw6900 Mobile Messenger series that will have the iPAQ PocketPC and cell phone (via Cingular or T-Mobile) combined into a single unit.

you:
Yes, I think Cingular was calling it the 6925 with camera. I hadn't heard that T-mobile was carrying it too.

Jeff:
Yes that is correct, we haven't received any conformation on that, however we do also expect it to be with T-mobile

you:
Is the Cingular release expected to be this weekend as well?

Jeff:
Yes it is expected to release this week end

you:
Very cool!!!! Thanks for the info. I (and several other folks according to the tech web blogs) can't wait. Have a great day.

Jeff:
You're very welcome. After our chat, a short survey should pop up. If you have a moment, I would appreciate your thoughts on the survey in regards to how I chatted with you today. Thank you for visiting HP Chat.

Jeff: By Bye and have a great day

I work for HP and am part of their managed mobility study. At first we were using the fabulous hp6315 which I mistakenly threw out a window. The website now says that we're supposed to migrated to the 6900,using cingular (not t-mobile)......starting 7/15!!!!! LOL

I'll believe it when I see it, maybe by February.

Just called and spoke to an HP Rep and then a Cingular Rep. HP told me they had no release info and when I pressed the issue and mentioned the above chat, they said it was suppossed to be out this week, but they have not been told as of yet and it probably would be another month. I spoke to a Cingular Data Rep, who told me it would be October and that they usually get a test model 1 month before hand and they havn't even got that yet. More promises, but no hard deliverables.
Once again, I challenge Cingular to prove me wrong, but I think this is BS!

Here is a rebate that lists the 6920/6925 that is only good from July 23 to Sept. 23. More evidence I suppose.
