Cingular 8525

My wife's cell phone contract runs out next month, and I'm already out of mine. We're going to go ahead and merge our plans into one with 2 lines, and get new phones. For the first time, I should be able to afford to buy a phone, instead of going with whatever free one sucks the least. Having gone through Cingul--- I mean, AT&T's offerings, I think this one appeals the most.



● Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA; Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE for global use
● Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack
● Mobile Instant Messaging - Yahoo!® Messenger, AOL® Instant Messenger, & Windows Live ™ Messenger (available via MEdia Net download)
● 128MB ROM / 64MB SDRAM
● Samsung 400MHz Processor
● Sliding QWERTY keyboard
● 2.8" QVGA 320x240 64K Color LCD Touch Screen
● Push to Talk capable*
● Bluetooth v2.0
● Integrated WiFi (802.11b/g)
● Micro SD expansion slot for greater storage and expansion
● Take advantage of Windows Media Player 10 Mobile to take your favorite music and videos with you.
● Log in to Pocket MSN – Hotmail, MSN Messenger and more!
● Optional 2.0 mega-pixel camera with built-in flash and video capability


What do you think? Not sure what third-party apps I'd want, other than an NES emulator and PocketMAME (an arcade emulator).

$200 for a reburbished one, $250 new (w/ 2-year contract). Thoughts?

That's a cool phone.

It is weird hearing you refer to Lauren as your wife. I know it is true, but I'm not used to it yet
