I love this camera!.......2007-07-07
A good pocket DC.......2007-07-07
The biggest complain will be the location of zoom controller. My hands and figures are normal size but feel hard to use and easy to make mistake.
Great camera!.......2007-07-06
The screen is great, it takes great photos and the autofocus comes very handy (especially for us lazy guys who do not want to take manual pics).
The only drawback this camera has, and this is a negative feature for all Canon cameras (Canon, can you hear me?), is that it doesn't show battery status but only when it is almost done with batteries. I guess you can live with that (I've had), but it would be nice to have a battery meter so I know what to expect.

Product Features:
ASIN: B000J2FOF0 |
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sony Ericsson W800 was a big hit. Now, here comes the sequel, the W810i. All the same great Walkman features are here, along with robust phone functions, but now you get quad-band GSM, a larger and brighter display, and perhaps most importantly, support for EDGE high speed data. In addition to a powerful and easy-to-use Walkman music player, the W810i boasts a 2-megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, a Memory Stick Duo card slot, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. Simply put, this baby's loaded.
Big screen, big features, big fun. View an interactive demonstration of the w810. You can also check out the W810i video. |
Dedicated music control buttons make for easy listening. |
Transfer songs to your W810i with the included Disc2Phone software. |
Two megapixels of camera goodness. |
The W810i follows a long tradition of beautifully designed and crafted phones from Sony Ericsson. The same candy-bar style that graced the W800 is here, as is the horizontally-oriented camera unit on the back of the phone, allowing you to hold the phone just as you would a camera when you're taking pictures. The W810i's screen sports 176 x 220 pixel resolution with support for 262,000 colors. Quick access buttons below the screen make it easy to control the phone's Walkman music features, while a five-way center button controls most of the phone's menus and features.
The W810i contains 20 MB of embedded memory, but as mentioned, a Memory Stick Duo slot is provided, and it also supports Pro Duo cards, giving you storage capacities of 2 GB and beyond. The phone ships with a 128 MB Memory Stick Duo card. Of course, there's also a port for the phone's included stereo headset. USB and infrared data ports are provided, as well, and the phone supports USB mass storage so you can simply plug the phone into your computer and drag and drop files into the phone's memory using the included Disc2Phone PC application. To top it all off, the W810i's camera flash can double as a flashlight.
Calling Features
The W810i's phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts with multiple entries per contact. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls. The phone's voice activated dialing makes calling your contacts as easy as saying their names, while the built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included and you can also use MP3 and AAC music files as ringtones. A cool application called Music DJ even lets you mix your own ringtones. Meanwhile, picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. More ringtones are available from AT&Amp;T's MEdia NET mobile web service. For those times you want to keep things discreet, there's a vibrate ringer mode. And because the W810i is Bluetooth-enabled, you can use a variety of headsets and handsfree kits for total wireless freedom when you're on the go.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
If you're looking for a mobile productivity partner, the W810i has you covered. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging possibilities. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. An included IM client supports AOL, Yahoo!, ICQ and MSN instant messaging services. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the W810i, as it supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a AT&Amp;T data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capabilities the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the W810i, including a voice memo recorder, a to-do list, a calculator, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which lets you synchronize your PC-based calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with your W810i.
Imaging and Entertainment
The W810i is a Walkman phone, and that means it offers a great mobile music experience. Load up your favorite songs in MP3 or AAC format on a memory card and listen to your heart's content. The user-friendly music player application also includes a "Music Mode" that shuts down the phone functions so you can listen on an airplane or anytime you don't want to accept calls. Meanwhile, Digital Mega Bass and stereo widening combine to enhance your listening experience. There's even an FM radio for catching the big game or your favorite stations. The radio also supports reception of digital song information from radio stations. To enjoy all your tunes, a stereo headset ships with the phone.
And don't forget about that powerful 2-megapixel camera, which features something most camera phones lack -- autofocus. Finally, you can get consistently great shots from any distance, shots that rival the quality of a dedicated digital camera. The camera also features an LED flash and a 4x digital zoom, and it can capture video, as well. Dedicated controls on the side of the unit will make you forget you're holding a phone in your hand.
And what about gaming? This phone is definitely geared for the mobile fun fanatic, as it supports widescreen and 3D games. The W810i comes preloaded with several games and more are downloadable from Sony Ericsson.
Vital Statistics
The Sony Ericsson W810i weighs 3.49 ounces and measures 3.94 x 1.81 x .77 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 8 hours of digital talk time, and up to 350 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews:
Don't like Sony in general but this phone is great.......2007-07-02
Not being a fan of Sony (mostly due to proprietary format approach and not-deserved high price in many cases), I only buy two Sony products: near-pro audio headphone (adequate/inexpensive) and mobile phone (brilliant).
In the past 10 years, Sony Ericsson phone has become my favorite gradually. As a business user, I do value talk time and connectivity a lot more than other add-on features such as camera or MP3 player (I have an iAudio x5 for music). A phone must be a phone first. Sony drew my attention 3 years ago because of the long talk time and free included connectivity. Most other brands at that time, Motorola or Samsung for example needed to buy either additional cables or software for the similar connectivity options. However, I do like W810i's camera (legit quality) and FM radio.
Another bright spot is you can customize the four directional pads. I use them for: turn on/off Bluetooth, phone book, Text Messaging and FM Radio. My previous two Sony phones lack this feature.
The included headset cord and in-ear headset are great. It is very nice and allows me to plug in any stereo headphone with a standard plug. An overhead lightweight headset is much more comfortable than in-ear type or Bluetooth piece for prolonged conference call. The headset cord has a mic and a button to take/end a call.
The problem of touchy camera button is permanently fixed by new location and new design. This phone also includes USB cable which means you can easily/inexpensively unlock it.
To deal with the screen problem, I am considering getting Krusell Active Multidapt case from Amazon.com. Not ideal but may be the best option at this moment.
As to reception and talk quality, I have no complaint. I am living in the west side of Houston TX and travel coast-to-coast more than 50% of time. I believe most of static/talking quality and reception problems reported are caused by carrier in the particular area. In my case, it is Cingular/New ATT. When switched to Cingular from T-Mobile 1.5 years ago because of my company's contract deal, I noticed talking quality dropped immediately with the same phone (unlocked by T Mobile). Voice became patchy and coverage was worsened. Please be cautious with some user's comments. It may have nothing to do with the phone. That was my personal experience anyway.
Wish list:
1. Customizable time to lock the keypad
2. Included screen cleaning tissue (T610 had it) and/or screen protector film.
Frequent call drops.......2007-06-27
This phone is the Bomb!.......2007-06-27
A couple cons-
There is a cingular media connect button that will take you right to the internet. If you don't put the lock on the phone when it is in your pocket, you could easily rack up some unwanted data charges. Also I don't like how you are unable to see the length of your calls in your call log.
Overall it is a sweet phone loaded with features and has only a few negatives. Especially for being a free phone, I highly recommend it.
Great Combo!.......2007-06-27
I have upgraded to web use and find this functional and fun even with the smaller screen.
For the price a GREAT deal!
DON'T DO IT! REASON FOR THE REBATE.......2007-06-26
AT&T's connection is terrible (with this phone at least). I have replaced the SIM chip to see if that would help, but it hasn't. My only next step is to get AT&T to send me a replacement phone ($$$) or end my contract with them and try someone else ($$$).
Oh, and your rebate comes in the form of a disposable Credit Card, not a check, so unless you are very good at your spending, you won't get every dollar's worth.

Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.
Though it doesn't come with an integrated GPS receiver, you can add an optional Bluetooth-enabled receiver to take advantage of the BlackBerry Maps application. Check maps for fast turn-by-turn directions virtually anywhere--simply click on an address in your address book, type it or paste one in.
Staying Connected
With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.
Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.
This quadband phone operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's EDGE network, with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. It also offers AT&T's Push to Talk (PTT) feature, which enables walkie talkie-style instant voice communication with other AT&T users--either one-on-one or with groups--and it allows you to convert the PTT call to a regular voice call if you need to have a longer discussion.
The Curve delivers all the corporate email and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

Great for E-mail.......2007-07-09
Love it!.......2007-07-09
The screen resolution is awesome and the camera makes it a very fun tool. Highly recommend this model!!
Excellent Follow Up to 8700 Series.......2007-07-08
Best Business PHONE out there.......2007-07-01
While Blackberry hasn't always excelled when it comes to being a cell phone -- it evolved from a PDA into a cellphone -- it has consistently improved it's Voice capabilities. With the 8300, the phone capabilities have clearly caught up with other phones that "morphed" into PDAs. The voice reception and sound quality is very solid and with AT&Ts service, I rarely have dropped calls. (I originally was a cingular subscriber and when AT&T took over, I have not experienced any decrease in the level of service). You can use it without a headset which feels a bit clunky -- but when you lose bluetooth headsets at the rate I do, it is nice to know that when all else fails, it is very functional by itself.
As a PDA -- this is where Blackberry really outshines its competition. It is the most widely supported Enterprise-wide email. It integrates with Outlook which is pretty much a necessity if you live in the corporate world. Now with the addition of GPS, Blackberry solidify's it's desire to be a "grownup" phone/device.
To me, a PDA/Phone should help you get through your day. It should tell you where you need to be next. Help you get there. Tell people if you aren't going to be there. Keep in touch via email when you are there.
I don't need it to play music -- I've got my car stereo for that. I don't need it to take pictures. When I'm at work, there is very little I want to take pictures of -- certainly not my coworkers :-O. When I'm waiting in a doctors office -- the browser is adequate to kill some time though I generally plan ahead and bring an old-fashioned analog book -- you know the type -- the one with pages and real ink on it. If you have a notebook, this phone also makes a pretty handy wireless modem -- though it is rather slow. That way, you don't have to worry about where the nearest Starbucks is to connect to the internet.
So I guess it boils down to what do you want your phone to do. If you want it to be a phone and be straightforward to use, then Blackberry is the perfect device. It will keep you connected to home, office and places in between, Blackberry 8300 is what will serve you best.

So-So.......2007-06-11
Works great for me........2007-06-10
I recently bought a new computer system (Dell, running Vista) with an upscale sound card and 5-speaker system. I wondered if there was any way to connect my 40-year-old turntable (if it still worked) to the computer and digitize my collection of about 100 old vinyl LPs. I was searching online for an adapter cable (Radio Shack) that would convert the two RCA plugs to a single mini stereo plug to go into the sound card, and found this item. Various articles I then found on converting LPs to digital indicated that a pre-amp was usually needed, and this turntable had one.
The price on Amazon was reasonable, so I ordered one to try.
Okay, so the Cakewalk software isn't exactly "intuitive." But it offers lots of features and options, so you have to "play" with it a while to figure it all out.
I'm about half-way through my stack of LPs, enjoying listening to them as I record (digitize) the tracks, and saving the tracks as both .wav files and as mp3s. The digital output is clean and of high quality.
Since that's what I wanted when I ordered the turntable, I give it 5 stars.

Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. You can also use Bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard for efficient text entry. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the N75 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. On top of all that, a wide range of applications are available for Symbian devices like the N75.
Imaging and Entertainment
This is where the real fun begins. A mere click of the dedicated camera key on the Nokia N75 results in a sharp, ready to print 2.0-megapixel (1600 x 1200 pixels) photos. With a 16x digital zoom, an integrated flash LED, you can expect excellent quality from the photos taken. This entertainment device doubles as a mini TV screen, too, making it an ideal choice for optimized viewing of streaming and downloaded video clips. Featuring MPEG-4 video capture and playback in landscape mode, the Nokia N75 delivers an instant video experience with audio recording. With internal memory of up to 40 MB, which can be further expanded with an optional microSD card of up to 2 GB, the N75 allows you to capture up to 500 minutes of high quality video or close to 2500 2.0-megapixel photos. Additionally, once you've got all the pictures you want on your memory card, you can connect the phone directly to any PictBridge-compatible printer for instantaneous printing right from the phone.
The Nokia N75 music experience excels even with the device closed. The digital music player has easy to use controls on the cover of the device, and the reflective 1.36-inch color cover display guides you to your music, which is always just a button press away. Supporting a multitude of different formats, including MP3, M4A, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA, the advanced digital music player includes an equalizer, playlist, shuffle, and repeat features for a direct connection to compatible online music services. When you connect the Nokia N75 to your compatible PC, a mere tap on the music key acts as an instant link to music stored. The PC-mobile synchronization redirects your favorite tunes straight to the Nokia N75, which can store up to 1,500 individual tracks on an optional 2 GB microSD card. In addition to playing downloaded music and ripped CDs, the Nokia N75 also includes a stereo FM radio, allowing you to listen to your favorite talk or music radio stations through your compatible headphones or through the integrated 3D stereo speakers.

Customer Reviews:
Great Phone ......But................2007-06-27
N75 -- Unfulfilled Potential.......2007-06-26
But, in the end, this phone failed because of shortcomings of the music player implementation and poor battery life. Sadly, I will be looking for another phone.
DESIGN:
Pros:
+ Gorgeous displays in and out.
+ Outside display seems to have all the right info (especially when using the music player).
+ Great number keypad with large keys and excellent tactile feel.
Cons:
+ Navigation keys are too flat. I often hit the wrong key sending myself off to distant parts of the OS or canceling out in the middle of a task. After a while I got this down and this complaint faded.
+ Battery cover held in place by hair trigger release. Cover often came off when I pulled the phone from my pocket
MENUS and O/S:
Pros:
+ Symbian 60 OS opens up a world of possibilities - more than I had a chance to really sample.
+ Highly customizable menus enabled through obtuse menu trees.
Cons:
+ Power hungry OS.
PHONE:
Pro's:
+ Great call quality, great speaker phone, both with plenty of volume.
+ Can make calls with the cover closed using voice dialing.
Cons:
+ Can't answer the phone with the cover closed - soft keys are available to silence or decline the call, but not to answer on speakerphone. What a shame because I can do this on my wife's Nokia 6126 and this makes a flip phone much more convenient.
+ Easily paired up with bluetooth headset (but NOT stereo bluetooth)
CAMERA:
Pros:
+ Take pictures with phone open or closed, includes a flash. Serviceable image management on the phone (delete, view, etc)
Cons:
+ Shutteer laaaag, mediocre image quality for 2 mp camera.
MUSIC PLAYER:
Pros:
+ Really nice music player app with great controls.
+ Sounds pretty good on phone's little speakers.
+ Controls on outside cover are great.
+ Includes an equalizer.
Cons (the dealbreakers for me):
+ NO STEREO BLUETOOTH - I know that this advertised on the web site, but it is a misprint as confirmed by calls to Cingular and Nokia. Nokia says the required A2DP profile will be available in a firmware update, but they won't tell you when.
+ No 3.5 mm headset jack. You have to deal with Nokia's proprietary POP port, which takes up 1/3 of the left side of the phone and requires an adapter to work a 3.5mm headset. The POP cord/adapter is difficult to insert correctly and is aptly named POP port because of how easily it pops out -- I have lots of Nokia experience here.
+ Nokia Music Manager 2.0 PC software for transferring music crashed often in XP and did not recognize memory on my phone (tried two different brands of sd cards) Thankfully the included Windows Media Player driver worked well and transfers went smoothly with both cards.
BATTERY LIFE: (more dealbreakers)
Very poor; phone gobbles power like a Hummer towing a tank. Combo of small battery and hungry O/S and displays kills batteries fast. I really couldn't get more than 1 ½ hrs of talk time a day out of this, and that's without a bluetooth headset. Yes, I followed all the web advice about setting data to "as needed" setting. If you really want to use this as a smart phone: email, web, PIM and phone, then you better carry spare batteries.
My Two Cents Worth.......2007-06-15
o I find the loose-fitting lid an irritant. Maybe other(')s don't.
o Mine doesn't make any funny internal sounds.
o Mine doesn't get hot.
o Mine doesn't drop calls.
o No stero bluetooth.
o Mine seems to do a good job of voice recognition.
o It bluetooths to my Moto H500 quickly, and the voice recognition works
fine there also.
o The surface does soak up finger prints.
o The display screens are spectacular.
o I like the large buttons on the key pad.
o Large screen, large buttons = large phone, I guess.
o The battery goes flat pretty fast (one day), but I'm constantly
playing with the phone. Maybe when the newness wears off, It'll
do better.
o The pop-port is a pain; also, they should have put it on the top
or bottom.
o Transferring pictures, music and application using the pop-port
is a breeze. It's quicker than screwing with the microSD.
o Speaker are loud enough.
o Being able to load different application is neat.
o The pictures seem plenty sharp for a 2 Mega-pixel. If you blow them
up, they become pixelated (see submitted pictures).
o I'm going to keep it and hope for a battery solution, or learn to
live with it.
Almost all you need.......2007-06-13
-WMA Player, all my files are in WMA format, now i truly have a music player
-FM Radio, for the times i dont want to listen to music
-Camera provides the best picture out there for a phone
-Big phone, i dont like small ones with small buttons
-No need to carry a mp3/ipod
Dislikes:
-Voice activated dialing is HORRIBLE. my old motoKRZR worked perfect
-Extremely low battery time, someone please figure this out, i charge my phone at night and at 4pm everyday
-Slow startup time
OVERALL: Buy this phone if you're like me and like bigger phones with great music/media access. Buy the SOny Erricson W18i if you want a smaller phone with nearly the same function. Or wait for the iphone June 29th.
-The cingular/ATT Service is not as good as Verizon my old provider in the northwest
Best 3g Phone AT&T has to offer.......2007-06-12
This is done by going to settings-->config-->connection-->packet data
This will solve the battery complaints posted by others. I can get ~2.5 days on a single charge.
I have had 3 long weeks to use and abuse the features of this phone.
Size wise: If you have a problem putting this phone in your pocket, get some looser fitting pants. People are probably seeing more than your phone bulging if this is the case.
Buttons: The whole keypad is spacious including the D-pad. I have large hands and find the tactility of the buttons to be high and are very easy for texting. The keypad buttons even tilt a little and make it easy to slide your hand around during fast texting/e-mailing.
Camera: Not a strong point. In some situations there is a green tint to the photos. The camera works best outside in sunlight and will produce pictures acceptable for a 5x7 with no green tint.
Operating system: Strong point of this phone big time. The Symbian S60 OS is the most customizable OS I have ever seen. Honestly, if there is something you want to customize you can probably do it. It may take a few days to get used to Symbian S60 but after that you won't look back. The availability of 3rd party programs is endless. I recommend Smart2go & Handy Alarm. Don't tell AT&T but this is actually a smartphone and has all the PIM features you need. Syncs with Outlook much easier/faster than Activesync and Windows mobile. It is also very easy to setup your e-mail accounts on the phone.
Media features: A pop-port to 3.5 or 2.5mm headphone jack is available online for $5-8, or Nokia's version for a bit more. It is worth the investment because the media player + a 2gb MicroSD has replaced my iPod nano. AT&T left Nokia's Music player on the phone and it is the best phone media player I have ever used. The built in speakers are loud, I mean insanely loud. I can turn it to 11 and it will drown out the TV and hurt my ears from 5 feet away. Once adjusting the EQ the sound quality improves. They are slighty tinny but not as bad as you expect.
Screens: Both screens are amazing. The inside screen is very crisp and does not wash out in direct sunlight. The outside is very functional and often times allows me to not flip open the phone for a lot of features.
Web: Use Nokia's web browser and not the Media Net one. It is a full feature browser and displays webpages just like a computer. It does not go to the mobile phone web but the actual web. Very amazing and far superior to Mobile IE.
Call Quality: Very clear and have yet to drop a call. I found myself calling people just to hear the call quality the first few days. I couldn't believe the clarity. Speakerphone is very loud via those little speakers on the back.
I would recommend this phone for anyone looking for a phone with some PDA functionality. The multimedia features just add to the functionality of the Symbian OS.
Every phone has its flaws and I find this phone to possess very few after fixing the battery issue and customizing it a bit.

AT&T 8525 PDA Phone (AT&T)
Manufacturer: AT&T ProductGroup: Wireless Binding: Wireless Phone Similar Items:

Product Features:
ASIN: B000KFWUMG Release Date: 2006-11-20 |
Amazon.com Product Description
The award-winning Cingular 8525 3G Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0-based Pocket PC phone, with its compact size and ultimate connectivity, is truly the complete mobile office solution. Roam anywhere in the world and use the phone's high speed Internet access, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi capabilities. The 8525 gives you more control than ever over the way you work.The Cingular 8525 lets you do things you'd typically need a PC to do, like email, text messaging, instant messaging and Web browsing--all from one integrated device. What's more, the phone's software is designed to sync seamlessly with email, contacts, and calendar information on your PC. The 8525 also offers great mobile music and video options, thanks to Windows Media Player. Other design features include a unique slide-out QWERTY keyboard that makes messaging, note-taking, and other writing tasks a breeze.
Design
Under the hood, the 8525 features 128MB of embedded memory and 64MB RAM, running on a 400 MHz Samsung processor. Up front, the 240 x 320 LCD touch-screen supports over 65,000 colors, while the rear of the device houses a 2.0 megapixel camera. The design of the 8525 is clean and uncluttered, with just a few buttons for mail, Internet Explorer, and contextual menus. Meanwhile, call answer and end buttons surround a five-way toggle that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. As mentioned, a full QWERTY keyboard cleverly slides out from underneath the screen. This allows you to hold the device horizontally, and the screen is automatically placed in landscape mode when you're using the keyboard. A side scroll wheel is conveniently tucked away on the side, making navigation when accessing the music player and other various applications a cinch when needed. A mini-SD memory expansion card slot is provided, as is an infrared port and support for a stereo Bluetooth headset. A mini-USB port is also included for wired data transfers and charging.
Calling and PDA Features
The 8525's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. A single main screen summarizes all the important information you need to make it through the day. Here you'll get message notification, upcoming appointments, dialing functions, tasks, and more all in one spot.
As a phone, the 8525 features all the functionality folks expect from a cell phone, including a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode, and picture and ringer ID. The unit comes stock with preloaded unique ringtones, while more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless' MEdia Net service.
Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application that seamlessly integrates with the 8525's phone functions. Meanwhile, headsets, car kits, and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth.
Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. Meanwhile, the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your 8525.
Messaging and Internet
With the 8525, you can surf the Web with the bundled Internet Explorer application, or use MSN messenger to stay in contact via instant messaging. Plus, the inclusion of Wi-Fi capability in the 8525 allows you to surf the Web or check your email at blazing speeds when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. No Wi-Fi network available? No worries; the 8525 is compatible with the latest generation of UMTS/HSDPA 3G data networks. With UMTS and HSDPA, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. And lastly, robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface.
Getting on the Internet with your laptop or PDA is easy with the 8525. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.
One of the most important tools bundled with the 8525 is Microsoft ActiveSync, which allows you to quickly synchronize your device's tasks, calendars, email, and contacts with your desktop. You also get Exchange ActiveSync, an application that lets you synchronize data with an Exchange server. Syncing can be done via USB, or wirelessly via Bluetooth or infrared.
Imaging and Entertainment
Another great feature of the 8525 is that it supports Windows Media playback right out of the box. With Windows Media Player, you can play streaming and downloaded video and audio content in a variety of formats.
As mentioned, the 8525 can take 2.0 megapixel pictures, and while the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture video to the unit's memory. An integrated media application organizes your captured photos and videos. For gamers, the phone supports Java-based and Windows Mobile games, and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia Net service.
The Cingular 8525 also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of the phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Customer Reviews:
beware when purchasing this phone........2007-07-04
Additionally, the notion of incurring a 250$ fee for practically anything makes it an unwise purchase imho. Cannot upgrade or downgrade, or pay a day late......Spend the money on the phone now, or, spend it later when incurring the fee penalty fee.
Do Not Buy This Here!!!.......2007-07-03
So, two months into a 2-yr contract, I need to replace this device. Amazon lists it today @ $124. However, if you need to buy a replacement, Amazon regards it as an "upgrade." Their only option offered was to buy an unlocked version from them for $750! I cannot buy the $124 version unless I set up a whole new service separate from what I just bought two months ago.
AT&T will not touch this since they didn't sell it. They offer a replacement for their full retail price -- $600!
So, if you buy from Amazon, you better lock this thing up in a moisture-proof safe and hope for the best. They'll be no help at all if you ever need a replacement within that 2-yr timeframe.
So, I'm out the original purchase price. I was so upset with AT&T I cancelled my service ($175 fee). Now I'll be getting back-billed by Amazon for $250 for not completing six months of service (but how could I with a broken device and no reasonable option to buy a replacement?). And I still need a new PDA!
Frigid Awesome!.......2007-06-27
Good, but a bit pricey.......2007-06-13
The Internet access has been great. We don't get 3G much in DC, and oddly get it more in out of the way places like the Chicago burbs, but even without 3g I've liked the speed of the access. I've used my phone a LOT as a modem for my Mac powerbook laptop and it works great - quite fast in fact. Having said that, you need to scour the Internet for instructions on how to connect the two, but you can find it and eventually it works.
As for the keyboard, I was a bit duped thinking the keyboard would permit me to type like a normal full sized keyboard. I type fast, like 90 words a minute, and I still have to type with two fingers on this keyboard, it's just the way it is. I find that my friends with blackberrys and treos tend to go from zero to 60, in terms of picking up their toys and doing a web search, quicker than me.
Don't get me wrong, it works well, and the wow factor is nice - people admire the phone. Also, I had to cajole Cingular/ATT into unlocking the phone for me - they refused at the store, but the nice lady on the phone did it for free when I called from Europe and begged. I bought a French SIM card and it worked great in the phone.
You'll hear varying stories on whether ATT can still charge you for accessing free wifi in Europe while still having your American SIM card in the phone. My tech friends say this is impossible. But Cingular claims it's true, as did the helpful lady on the phone who actually seemed to know her tech stuff. To be safe, remove the American SIm card if you're abroad and surfing the net with this thing - oh yeah, it really does work with foreign wifi, even without the sim card. Pretty cool.
Oh one more thing, as with many phones, I find the volume is just too low during calls. It's especially a problem when I download movies or tv shows from my computer (I use a PSP video 9 to shrink the movies and shows to the right size, then just sync the computer with the phone - for Mac users, you have to use Missing Sync and it doesn't always work, it's kind of weird, sometimes it syncs sometimes it doesn't). Anyway, yes you can watch tv shows and stuff on here, but the volume is very low and when sitting on a plan, forget it - I could not hear my shows using the headsets. I'm going to buy an adaptor so I can try different headsets on this. Oh yeah, buy an extra storage card, I got like 2 gigs for 50 bucks or something, it's worth it. I'd read the 4 gig cards weren't working as well with this phone, maybe that's fixed now. I think that's it.
Slingbox IS compatible with this phone, and it's cool as hell, I have it, and it works - but again, the volume issue if you're anywhere even vaguely loud (having said that, i was on jury duty and sitting in the courthouse in a crowded room and could hear my shows fine through the cheap earphones). So, all in all, I'm satisfied, it's cool, it works. I've never owned another smartphone or treo or anything, so have nothing to compare to. I'll consider switching to an iPhone in a year when that shakes out more. PS The size doesn't bother me, I have it in my pocket all the time, in jeans or a suit it's fine in your pants. In shorts, yeah it starts to get a bit big, but again, it's really not as large as it looks.
The camera sucks. It auto sharpens all the photos horribly - I've tried to stop it, you can't, it just does. REally really really bad photos - and I take photos for a living, but also take them for fun, you won't be using this phone for photography, trust me, it's bad. The video isn't bad however, I just don't have a reason to use it.
