Finally – Cingular Release Dates for 8525 and Treo 680?


 

Via: Engadget

Engadget has a post up, citing a recent Cingular marketing presentation, with price and release date details for the Palm Treo 680 and the Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes).

Here’s what they’ve got:

  • Treo 680: $424.99 straight, $349.99 one year, $249.99 one year with unlimited data (and $100 rebate), $274.99 two year, $174.99 two year with unlimited data (and $100 rebate; their ad, however, shows a $200 list price, but it’s good to know we can count on around two Benjamins. Expect it November 5th (tentative).
  • Cingular 8525: $559.99 straight, $484.99 one year (not including $50 rebate if included with unlimited data), $409.99 two year (also not including that same rebate); expect it October 29th.

That sounds good. That would be Monday for the 8525 release and a week later for the Treo 680.  Prices for the 680 seem a little higher than expected – especially considering all the rumors about it possibly being offered free with a contract / data plan. The 8525 price looks pretty good for what it is.

What do you all think of those numbers for these two eagerly awaited devices?
