Many of the phones listed are older devices, however, there are a handful of current cingular (at&t) wireless devices available right now at our Northern Nevada Locations. These include the Motorola SLVR, RAZR v3, and v3i, along with one of the most popular phones in the market, the Sony Ericsson w810i. Even the popular Cingular 8125 Windows Smartphone will iSync with the purchase of the appropriate 3rd party software mark/space.
