Yeap, sounds good. Oh wait...that's right, I'm talking about my
Cingular 8125 Windows Smartphone.
Which I bought last year.
For $300.
For the same price that they're selling the iPhone, I bought the 8125 as well as an
Archos 504 with 4.5" widescreen and 80GB of media storage. It looks pretty but frankly doesn't bring much new or interesting to the table.
Go Cisco.
