Where else can you buy cell phones for Cingular/AT&T?
I know that you can go on to the AT&T website and to the store, but almost all those phones are the same as what everyone else has. Im looking for phones that are very limited, but that can be used with Cingular. Does anyone know where I can find cell phones that not many people have?

- Honestly, your store or agent location really is your best source ...for numerous reasons. Be straight up with them...inquire about the NEWEST device...or ask the salesperson, what phone have you sold the fewest of in this area, etc.
- You can buy them on Ebay.
- For the most part, buying a phone from a carrier or a reseller is usually for suckers. Why? You get a bit of a discount on the phone, anywhere from 10 - 50%, and in return you get to lock yourself into a contract for up to 2 years. This greatly limits your options if a new phone comes around that you really want. For AT&T, you want to at the very least purchase a phone that works on the GSM 850 and 1900 Mhz bands. This information is usually located in the description of the phone you're considering buying. There are lots more frequency bands available, but in the US, only 850 and 1900 are used on AT&T. If you want a 3G phone for AT&T, again, 850 and 1900 Mhz, but using WCDMA instead of GSM. If you're looking for a good quality phone that can be used on AT&T and isn't the same as everyone else (as you seem to be indicating), think about something like a Nokia E51. Both buy.com and Amazon sell those for about $250. You can put your SIM in those and go. Bottom line - any unlocked GSM phone that both 850 and 1900 Mhz support will work just fine on AT&T.
