The HTC 8125 combines a Windows Mobile 5 PDA with a quad-band GSM phone that makes a great multimedia device. Key attributes include a slide-out text keyboard, internet explorer, EDGE, Bluetooth, speakerphone, and a miniSD memory card slot.

Introduction
The New Cingular 8125 is another innovative product from HTC. HTC stands for High Tec Computers Corporation . HTC is a company from Taiwan that specializes in Windows mobile phones. The 8125 is branded by Cingular, so it has “Cingular” written on it, and also has many Cingular exclusive features on it.
The 8125 is a quad-band GSM phone that has a 200 Mhz processor, 128Mb Rom and 64Mb of Ram and an external Mini-SD slot that supports up to 2 GB of extra memory. The 8125 also has an excellent QWERTY keyboard that slides out horizontally.

Design
The Cingular 8125 has an exceptional design and resembles the HTC Wizard, also known as the T-mobile MDA. Both the phones have a horizontal sliding keyboard, so when the keyboard is out the screen rotates in landscape view. In my opinion the design of the 8125 is a major improvement to the T-Mobile MDA.

The 8125 looks boxier as opposed to the MDA which has a rounded look. The 8125 seems a lot lighter too. Another major improvement between the two is the keyboard. The 8125 has a much better keyboard than the T-Mobile MDA because it is a lot easier to type with. Since the keys are a lot bigger and block style, it makes it much easier to type as opposed to the MDA where the keys are smaller and spaced out from each other.

Pros: Everything. I love the touch screen and the slide out keyboard. i really like the square edges opposed to the rounded edges of other PDA's it gives it more of a professional business look and makes me feel important. The internet is very nice, much better than any other PDA. I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Cons: You haven't bought it yet!

Summary: This is a great PDA best ever. rugged tough durable amazing. SEXY! everything is great! though the only thing i didn't like was the layout so i installed windows mobile 6.1 and put the iPhone theme on it and its great!!!!! A must have phone! I got it for $50 in brand new condition!

Definite No-Go

Experience: 1 Years

Pros: Qwerty keyboard, wi-fi, camera that acts as a camera.

Cons: Frequent resets, delays in call menus.

Summary: The phone seemed great with the reviews that I read. I received the phone and loved it for the first 1-2 months. When I press the button to hang up, there is a delay, and the phone is still connected for 3-4 seconds after I try to hang up. There is also a delay 10-15 seconds going from the after call screen to the home screen. I have had people try to call me, and my phone is on; I never received the call. I would definitly not buy this phone again, even though the phone looks awesome and has great features, there are plenty of other phones with the same features and without the bugs. I think they rushed the phone out before working the kinks out.

Experience: 2 Weeks

Pros: i got the phone about 2 weeks ago and it is great. i bought a 1 g memory for which is nice since the internal is only 64mb.the keyboard it awesome because it doesnt take up any uneeded space. a feature that is really good though is the voice dial.unlike many phones where if u dont say the word in the exact same tone it doesnt read, well the 8125 has never not understood me. It is great for road driving because it is hard to dial on the touch screen.

Cons: the phone is great besides that it didnt come with a users manual, and although I think I know how to do everything, i wish i had a hard copy to look through if i needed some help but unfortunatley i cant find htc's phone number anywhere so i am lost at what to do...

Summary: over alll the phone is great. There isnt a phone right now that i think is better. I do suggest in getting a memory card for it. if you didnt get a manual good luck finding one because i am still looking. I highly recomend it it is user friendly and a lot of fun to have.

HTC - A very good "All in One" communicator.

Experience: 30 Days

Pros: Good design
WIFI
EDGE Access
Mobile 2005
EXCELLENT Speaker Phone
Loud BlueTooth
Stereo

Cons: Does NOT support UMTS

Summary: If you like PocketPC, then this is the device for you. The battery life is excellent and I believe this device to be better than the Treo 700W.

It would be nicer if the phone/device had more internal memory.

The camera is very good and the keyboard seems more rugged than the XV6600.

It is a SHAME that UMTS is not supported. HTC/Audiovox should have integrated this technology into the phone. Other than that, this is the best PocketPC phone I have ever used.
