The new phone, along with the recently introduced 2125 Smartphone, forms the base of Cingular's move into the Windows Mobile 5.0 arena.
"Cingular now has a Windows Mobile 5.0 device offering that appeals to a broad swath of wireless users," said Cingular's Michael Woodward. "These are just the first two of what will be an array of Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices that will be available from Cingular by the end of this year."
Cingular said the 8100 series Pocket PCs come either without a camera or with a 1.3 megapixel digital and video camera.
The Bluetooth WiFi capability works off Cingular's national EDGE wireless data network.
