Ground Breaking Leading Edge Mobile Device

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. The most advanced Pocket PC Phone on the market
Review: This is the holy grail of mobile devices. There is not another product, that is subsidized by a major carrier, that offers the following: Windows Mobile 5.0, High Speed 3 G internet access, International Voice and Data Capabilities. 2 Megapixel...

Great SMART phone -- $$ but you get what you pay for

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: Great phone -- good business/tech alternative to iPhone, especially if you're already familiar with Windows Mobile.
Review: After several weeks of research online, comparing this phone to 8125, Blackberry Curve/Pearl & various Treos, I found this to be the best PDA phone on the market today. It's got a huge 2.8" QVGA screen slide out qwerty keyboard (blue backlight) and...

Good Stuff. It's the next step!

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you like gadgets, use Windows, Windows Media Player, and Outlook this thing syncs up well with your life. I would highly recommend it!
Review: I had been waiting for a true "All-in-one" smart phone that had:

Phone
Camera
HTML Web Browsing
WIFI
Full Keyboard
PDA
MP3 Player

This phone fills all of those roles well!

I have been using...

Every day is Christmas as you discover another present this high powered phone offers

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's a great phone that if you take the time to get familiar with it, will more than make up for the heavy price it comes with.
Review: I am a manager of a Cingular store. I have only been working for Cingular for about 1 year. I had never before seen the point in text messaging. (why push 50 buttons to get my point across, when i can push 7 and talk to you). However that is how...

This is fun

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you travel internationally and want reliable phone and internet communication you ought to have one. You might want to wait for new model though.
Review: UPDATE In discussions with AT&T they claim 8525 has HSDPA upgrade. Will add to review when I get back to US and can check this out.

I bought my 8525 in San Francisco 2 weeks back. I had tried to decide between it and Treo in NY and WI but...

3G logo is a flame because it will burn you up how slow it is!

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you don't absolutely need it don't get it!
Review: This is my first pocket computer/PDA device ever. My review is from someone going from a standard Nokia 3120 (phone with an alarm and calendar) to this new Cingular 8525 pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.0. The most similar item that I own is a...

Best phone I've ever used and abused (read: modded) for over a year!

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: I highly reccomend this phone to anyone that is obsessed with tinkering and ultimate connectivity.
Review: The year? 2007.  My wife was notoriously standing over my shoulder tapping her foot as I plugged away on my desktop reading and responding to emails.  Checking RSS feeds, and responding to blogs and forum messages.  She had a laptop that I had...

Phone is ok.. Cingular service is horrible...(in New York City)

Date of Review:  May 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good tool. But not recommended mostly due to the service! Look elsewhere if you are looking for reliable and truely smooth 3G data service.
Review: This is just a mini review of my two weeks experience with this phone. Long review will be posted later...

This is a good PDA but not exciting at all given that I have been using XV6600 (from the same manufacturer, HTC) with verizon data...

Truly All-in-one, except as a PHONE

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Fun as a gadget, horrible as a phone.
Review: This thing has all the bells and whistles, but is no good as a phone!

I moved up from my V3 RAZR for this thing. WiFi, big screen, windows mobile 5, cool! After a month of trying it out, I had to switch back. Why? It was completely...

Great SmartPhone, especially w/ Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: SmartPhones still have a long way to grow, but I'd rather have this 3G Windows Mobile device than iPhone or Blackberry, and I've used all 3.
Review: Most of the PDA user experience is based on software, instead of hardware, but I'll try to focus on this hardware device instead of the Windows Mobile operating system.

The phone feels great in the hand, but it seems a little too thick...
