Cingular branded Nokia N80 spotted

We've had our fair share of run-ins with "unofficial" blurry cameraphone shots of devices in the past, but if we're to believe this one then it looks like Cingular could bring the States the Nokia N80. We have differing reports as to whether it's going to rock HSDPA, but it's hard to lie with that Cingular logo shot in that customary hope-nobody's-looking fashion—assuming it's real, of course.

[Thanks, Rcadden]

#1, not necessarily. My Cingular branded RAZR is the same way as the logo in the pic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... The 770 is shipping

#3, it is? At http://www.nokiausa.com/770 it says it's not released yet.

how come the screen isn't blurry like everything else?

[Hannes @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

#4, Yes, but only in europe, US will be sometime later..

Taylor-- the camera's autofocus saw the reflections in the screen to set the focus distance. The reflected lights are much further away than the phone itself, so the phone is out of focus.

#4 November 10 in the USA

So why do these tipsters with access to unlaunched phones always have really pathetic camera phones? Can someone buy these people a K750 or something that takes decent photos?

Seeing as the N80 does more than a PDA w/o the addtl $20-30/mo, it would be ashame to pair the unit w/ Cingular/AT&T because they don't have a flat fee for Internet usage as does T-Mobile. Pairing a smartphone w/ T-Mobile allows you to surf the next as long as you wish and download/upload limitless kb for a flat fee. It's a little known secret. Because Americans will so easily part w/ an additional $30/mo for a pda, American phone companies stopped offering smartphones with voice packages. Shady, huh? The secret is, go to Amazon and get a smartphone for a really low price and sign up for T-Mobile's constant promo of 1000 anytime + $7 unlimited kb/time for the Internet.
