Just reporting about a new piece of technology I purchased the other day.

It is the Cingular 8125. While I am a bit unhappy to hear about the fact that the Treo 750 is coming to Cingular very soon right after I got my 8125, I am still pretty glad I got it with a 6 Month free PDA Unlimited internet access plan with a 2 yr Contract.

One thing I have to say is I’m amazed by the phone’s design, I really like how the Cingular 8125 (aka HTC Wizard) was designed so you can switch back and forth between the keyboard or use the touch screen and so on. It is also very flexible and easy to get it setup. Only problem with the Cingular 8125 is the EDGE Network, which I have heard from various users the speed was around 100kb/s gor average downloads, but since August it has been stuck at around 20-40 for most users including myself. Hopefully that will get resolved pretty quick.

The browser PIE basically allows you to view most sites pretty quickly and you can always get Opera Mobile to browse the more complex websites if needed. Agile Messenger also works very nice, AIM/YIM/ICQ/MSN all built in together and is free!

Here’s an image for the 8125 and also a picture of the Treo 750 taken from engadget.
