Introduction

Design
The Cingular 8125 has an exceptional design and resembles the HTC Wizard, also known as the T-mobile MDA. Both the phones have a horizontal sliding keyboard, so when the keyboard is out the screen rotates in landscape view. In my opinion the design of the 8125 is a major improvement to the T-Mobile MDA.

The 8125 looks boxier as opposed to the MDA which has a rounded look. The 8125 seems a lot lighter too. Another major improvement between the two is the keyboard. The 8125 has a much better keyboard than the T-Mobile MDA because it is a lot easier to type with. Since the keys are a lot bigger and block style, it makes it much easier to type as opposed to the MDA where the keys are smaller and spaced out from each other.

HTC 8125 in-depth review - Display & Audio

DisplayThe 8125 supports over 65,000 colors and has a resolution of 320x 240. The display is also touch screen, so it is very easy to navigate using the stylus. The display seems to be very bright and better quality than the T-Mobile MDA. The best part about the 8125 and MDA is that the screen rotates to landscape view as well as portrait. Older phones that were only portrait view were unpractical for many reasons including web browsing; these...

HTC 8125 in-depth review - Construction & Conclusion

ConstructionThe Cingular 8125’s quality is very high, like all other HTC devices out there. Since the 8125 has a lot of vital components inside it, dropping it could potentially damage the phone. The phone seems very durable and built to last, but in my opinion the touch screen is very sensitive on Pocket Pc’s and you have to be careful not damaging it.   ConclusionMany people believe that Windows Mobile Phones are for business...

Awesome Phone, The best phone ever

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5

By: Adam Wechter on Wednesday, November 12, 2008
From: Newport, OR (United States)
Experience: 3 Months

Pros: Everything. I love the touch screen and the slide out keyboard. i really like the square edges opposed to the rounded edges of other PDA's it gives it more of a professional business look and makes me feel important. The internet is very nice, much better than any other PDA. I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Cons: You haven't bought it yet!

Summary: This is a great PDA best ever. rugged tough durable amazing. SEXY! everything is great! though the only thing i didn't like was the layout so i installed windows mobile 6.1 and put the iPhone theme on it and its great!!!!! A must have phone! I got it for $50 in brand new condition!

Definite No-Go

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5

By: Bart Simpson on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: Orange Park, FL (United States)
Experience: 1 Years

Pros: Qwerty keyboard, wi-fi, camera that acts as a camera.

Cons: Frequent resets, delays in call menus.

Summary: The phone seemed great with the reviews that I read. I received the phone and loved it for the first 1-2 months. When I press the button to hang up, there is a delay, and the phone is still connected for 3-4 seconds after I try to hang up. There is also a delay 10-15 seconds going from the after call screen to the home screen. I have had people try to call me, and my phone is on; I never received the call. I would definitly not buy this phone again, even though the phone looks awesome and has great features, there are plenty of other phones with the same features and without the bugs. I think they rushed the phone out before working the kinks out.

instruction manual

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5

By: cody heath on Monday, April 10, 2006
From: houston, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Weeks

Pros: i got the phone about 2 weeks ago and it is great. i bought a 1 g memory for which is nice since the internal is only 64mb.the keyboard it awesome because it doesnt take up any uneeded space. a feature that is really good though is the voice dial.unlike many phones where if u dont say the word in the exact same tone it doesnt read, well the 8125 has never not understood me. It is great for road driving because it is hard to dial on the touch screen.

Cons: the phone is great besides that it didnt come with a users manual, and although I think I know how to do everything, i wish i had a hard copy to look through if i needed some help but unfortunatley i cant find htc's phone number anywhere so i am lost at what to do...

Summary: over alll the phone is great. There isnt a phone right now that i think is better. I do suggest in getting a memory card for it. if you didnt get a manual good luck finding one because i am still looking. I highly recomend it it is user friendly and a lot of fun to have.

HTC - A very good "All in One" communicator.

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5

By: Timothy Rice on Tuesday, March 14, 2006
From: St. Louis, MO (United States)
Experience: 30 Days

Pros: Good design
WIFI
EDGE Access
Mobile 2005
EXCELLENT Speaker Phone
Loud BlueTooth
Stereo

Cons: Does NOT support UMTS

Summary: If you like PocketPC, then this is the device for you. The battery life is excellent and I believe this device to be better than the Treo 700W.

It would be nicer if the phone/device had more internal memory.

The camera is very good and the keyboard seems more rugged than the XV6600.

It is a SHAME that UMTS is not supported. HTC/Audiovox should have integrated this technology into the phone. Other than that, this is the best PocketPC phone I have ever used.
