Cingular 8125??

Question

Please answer this question if you or someone you know owns or has owned/used this phone.

I have a couple of questions about this phone. I am interested in buying one.

First of all, I'm a teenage girl. So remember that.

1. Can you go on the internet on this phone? Like Internet Explorer?

2. Is this phone too big to fit in the back pocket of jeans? Have you found that this phone is uncomfortably big for everyday use?

3. How do you dial numbers? (There is no number pad.)

4. Do you like this phone?

5. I would only be using this phone for the QWERTY keyboard, camera, big screen, text messaging, talking (of course), and using the internet. Should I buy it even though it is a PDA type phone?

THANKS! :)

Answer 1

1. Yes you can

2. I'd say it is. I'd be the most concerned about it breaking going in someone's back pocket. The screen is delicate as it's more of a PDA than a phone.

3. On the QWERTY keyboard, the first row of letters double as numbers after pressing the function key. Symbols are accessed the same way.

4. I find calling this device a phone a bit of a misnomer. It's a PDA that happens to have phone capabilities. The phone part isn't even that good. It doesn't have that good of reception. It makes a great handheld computer, though. Running Windows Mobile, you can access and edit Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.

5. This is not a teenage girl phone. This is a phone for a business person or a tech. It also costs $250 after mail-in rebate. May I suggest something like the T-Mobile Sidekick? Maybe the Cingular Blackjack.
