Cingular 8525 - PC Magazine

Cingular-8525.jpg

The Cingular 8525 handheld has been reviewed by PC Magazine. 'The 8525's rounded form and slide-out keypad are pretty familiar-- it looks like a slightly sleeker version of the Cingular 8125. It's about the same size and weight, just 6.1 ounces with battery. The 8525 has a better array of physical buttons than the 8125, with dedicated "OK" and menu keys and a scrolling jog dial on the side along with the 8125's mail, camera, Internet Explorer, phone keys and soft keys. The 320 by 240 color screen is pretty much the same as on many other Pocket PCs out there.

Slide the screen to the side and rotate the 8525 to use its QWERTY keyboard, which isn't great, but it'll get the job done. The keys are close together, like the 8125's, but they're also oddly smaller than its predecessor. Thankfully, the keypad lights up blue so you can type in the dark.'
