PDAStreet: Hardware Reviews: Review: Cingular 8525 - A Notebook Replacement

A recent smartphone offering from Cingular is a case in point. The 8525 (previously known as the HTC Hermes) is the follow-up to the earlier Cingular 8125. The blocky 8525 measures 4.43 x 2.28 x.86 inches and weighs in at 6.2 ounces, which makes it slight

Cingular 8525 Review

Comments:
The Cingular 8525 is a Pocket PC phone with a built-in keyboard, Wi-Fi b/g, and 3G cellular-wireless networking. Adama D. Brown brings us this review.

Review Verdict: While it would have been nice to see some slightly flashier upgrades for the price, such as more memory, or an improved screen, the 8525 delivers in two critical areas--wireless performance and speed.

Product Rating: 4.05 star(s) Cingular 8525 Review

Comments:
The very fast data access offered by this PDA phone is undermined by poor battery life and a bulky design.

Review Verdict: Alas, the battery life in our lab tests was exceptionally poor: It lasted just 4 hours, 21 minutes, which ranks among the worst spans we've recorded. Overall, I'd recommend the 8525 to business users who don't mind carrying a few extra ounces (and an extr

Comments:
Excellent keyboard good 3G performance relatively compact design Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and infrared

Review Verdict: With its excellent feature set, including HSPDA support, the Windows Mobile 5.0-based HTC TyTN and its variants from network operators could be the ideal compromise between size and functionality.

Comments:
We have always assumed the TyTN would be a fairly large device as the press images always make a device look much larger than it is. But once you get ...

Review Verdict: The HTC TyTN may be a last years model, but it has a shed load of features, including a nifty slide out keyboard for making life easier when you type.

If checking e-mail or surfing the Web is sluggish on your aging cell phone, the Cingular 8525--the first PDA phone that's compatible with Cingular's fledgling high-speed HSDPA network--might be the answer to your prayers. For the most part, the 8525 deliv

Product Rating: 3 star(s) T-Mobile MDA Vario II

Comments:
The Vario II is really a rebadged HTC Hermes, or possibly an upgraded TyTN, depending on who you ask.

Review Verdict: The Vario II is more of a PDA with a built-in phone, than a phone with added features. But it's fast, easy to work with, and not too bulky to be bothersome.
