Cingular Wireless Introduces First Windows Mobile-Powered Flip
Phone Smartphone In U.S. With Slimline Design, Unrivaled
Functionality and Price LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- CTIA
WIRELESS IT AND ENTERTAINMENT 2006 -- Cingular Wireless today
unveiled the ultra-thin Cingular 3125, the only flip phone
smartphone on the U.S. market that combines an iconic design with
the power, functionality and price to please both businesses and
consumers alike. The jet-black Windows Mobile-powered Cingular 3125
Smartphone - which is available beginning today exclusively from
Cingular for under $150 - measures just a hair over a half-inch
thick. While the Cingular 3125 takes on the appearance of a
high-end wireless phone, it packs a full set of features which
makes it the perfect and affordable tool for use during work or
leisure time. These include wireless access to business and
personal e-mail accounts, over- the-air synchronization of
calendar, contact and to-do lists, and superb music, photo and
video capabilities. Under the hood, the Cingular 3125 provides a
powerful tandem of Cingular's nationwide* EDGE network and
Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 in conjunction with excellent voice
quality to ensure an outstanding end user experience. With Windows
Mobile, Cingular 3125 users will have the familiar Windows look and
feel similar to that on their desktop computers at home or in the
office. They can take that experience along with them in 13,000
cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways via
the largest national high-speed wireless data network in the U.S.,
or abroad in more than 180 countries for voice communications and
over 100 nations for data use. Built by a leading manufacturer of
Windows Mobile-powered devices, HTC, the Cingular 3125 also
features support for Bluetooth(R) version 1.2 making for faster
connections and the ability to enjoy music wirelessly in stereo.
"The Cingular 3125 Smartphone is a true 'crossover' device that
blends an iconic phone design with unparalleled, feature-rich
functionality of the Windows Mobile platform at a very aggressive
price point that surely will appeal across the spectrum of wireless
users," said Kent Mathy, president of Cingular Wireless'
business-to-business organization, the Business Markets Group.
"This is a winning, groundbreaking combination that no other
smartphone on the U.S. market comes close to matching." Familiar
Experience The nerve center of the Cingular 3125 is the Microsoft
Windows Mobile software. This gives Cingular 3125 users access to
mobile versions of many of the familiar Microsoft features found on
their desktops, such as mobile versions of Windows Media Player,
Internet Explorer and Outlook. Additionally, the 3125 includes the
Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0,
providing users with the benefit of Direct Push Technology. This
means that email, calendar, tasks and contacts are always-up-
to-date making it very easy for users to stay on top of their jobs
and connected to the people they care about. The feature pack also
provides advanced security features, including remote device wipe,
remotely enforced IT policy and S/MIME support. "The lines are
blurring between personal and business uses for smartphones, which
means people want one device that will meet the needs for home and
work," said Pieter Knook, senior vice president for the Mobile and
Embedded Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. "The Cingular 3125
powered by Windows Mobile proves you can have your e-mail, web and
business applications in an elegant flip phone design." Work Time,
Leisure Time Access to e-mail while on-the-go and the ability it
gives to stay connected to important information when out of the
office has become a must- have for wireless users. Cingular 3125
business customers have a choice of powerful solutions, Microsoft
Direct Push Technology and Good Mobile Messaging from Good
Technology. Consumers can get their personal and work e-mail as
well with Cingular Xpress Mail, which is compatible with many
popular Internet Service Provider (ISP) services. The Cingular
3125's value doesn't diminish at the end of the work day. Its
built-in MP3 player, which is controlled by external buttons and
powered by Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, gives users the ability
to spend their downtime listening to their favorite music. Optional
accessories such as a Bluetooth-enabled stereo headset heighten the
experience. For a change of pace, Cingular 3125 users can access
Cingular's MEdia Net(SM) to find out the latest sports scores, shop
at Cingular's MEdia Mall to download ringtones, games and graphics,
or stay informed with news and local weather. The Cingular 3125
also features a built-in l.3 mega-pixel digital camera and the
ability to record video for viewing on the Cingular 3125's large,
full color 240x320 LCD screen. Its outstanding features aside, the
Cingular 3125 also performs the most basic and important of
functions - wireless phone calls. The Cingular 3125 provides
excellent voice quality via the ALLOVER network, the largest
digital voice and data network in the nation which has the fewest
dropped calls of any national carrier. A speakerphone, included ear
piece and Bluetooth connectivity to a variety of optional wireless
headsets provide an optimal hands-free experience. Availability and
