The AT&T 8525 phone is a great phone. I was using a phone and a Dell Axim to manage my office on the go when this phone came out. I immediately purchased it for $199 (price match) from Cingular, now AT&T, and have loved it from day one. It is a little heavy for a phone, but it has all the applications I need. Word, Excel, AvantGo to keep up with the daily news and events, video tv, email, and text messaging. I can also play MP3's on it, keeping me from getting the new iPhone because it lacks some of the things I use daily. My wife is hot and sexy! I would buy another one like this... review »

The 8525 is awesome but TOO heavy and bulky

The 8525 is a wonder piece of technology. I have really enjoyed having my phone, MP3 player and PDA all in one. Over all it takes fair photos, maintains fair connection with internet, and is somewhat user friendly. The only saving grace is the Win mobile OS. Which is wonderful to get around in. However, the phone is in no way sleek. It is bulky, boxy, and heavy. So many time I wish I had something alittle more delicate. There should be some way to incoorporate the technology with style. I do not believe it is too much to ask.

THE PHONE IS VERY NICE TO HAVE. IT IS A BIT BULKY, BUT SPORTS A FULL KEYBOARD WHICH IS GOOD. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS A NICE TOUCH. THE 2 MP CAMERA IS GREAT IT TAKES CLEAR PHOTOS AND HAS A FEW MODES TO SHOOT WITH, YOU CAN ZOOM AND DO OTHER THINGS. THE PRICE I PAID WAS 2OO.00 THROUGH ATT BUT YOU MAY FIND IT ONLINE FOR AS LOW AS 180. ITS A GOOD PHONE FOR THE PRICE. THE WIFI IS AN AWESOME FEATURE ON THIS MODEL. THE FACT YOU CAN USE IT AS A MODEM FOR A LAPTOP IS VERY CONVENIENT AND CAN SAVE YOU TIME INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A HOT SPOT. I RECOMEND THIS PHONE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE 8925 AND...

Really amazing phone. Picks up great service and is very fast. The Windows media player is great to use as an mp3 player. I bought a 2GB mini-SD and I have a ton of songs, ring tones, pictures, word documents, recorded notes, games, and video on my phone. The Internet is also very quick and easy to use. I am not too savvy with this stuff but it was really easy to get used to. The volume for the music isn't high enough, and the battery life isn't the best, but everything else outweighs all that. I highly recommend it.
