It seems that the Cingular 8825, known in other parts as the HTC Hermes, is set for release late in October or early November. Being that it is currently late in October, perhaps we can expect this cool phone any time now.

The cool features to float your geek boat are; Windows Mobile 5.0, tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, push email and more. The display is a 2.8” LCD that looks positively gigantic compared to some phones on the market. A 2-megapixel camera is also built-in on the phone for your mobile snaps needs. The sliding keyboard is very cool as is the landscape orientation for the screen. The processor is a Samsung 400MHz unit and the LCD resolution is 320 x 240. A Micro SD slot is also included for expansion of the 128 MB ROM/64MB SDRAM memory. Buy your own Cingular phone here. Via Gizmodo
