Wither the Audiovox 5600

Now I understand why Cingular hasn't launched the Audiovox 5600 Smartphone that AT&T was selling. Audiovox is exiting the mobile phone business and selling to UTStarcom, Inc.

Now I've never heard of UTStarcom, and I'm not sure this helps our effort to increase sales of MS Smartphones as consumers are brand focused, and probably know Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung, but also never heard of UTStarcom.

UT Starcom is a very good company and they're well known in VoIP.

that's a damn shame given the smt5600 is probably the most exciting MSFT-based product in the world at the moment. (i even like it more than my xbox)

It looks like Cingular will be getting the SMT5600 in May. http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7955 (I have seen this from more than one source)
