User impressions of the Cingular/AT&T 8525

[DnetMHZ]

I'm due for an upgrade on one of my lines and I'm thinking about getting the 8525.
I like the fact that is has 3G and Wifi

I currently use the Nokia E62 & Nokia 6682.

Can anyone who has one give me an idea of how you like it?

I have also looked at the Blackjack but from playing with it in the store I find the screen a little small.

The main funtions I'm interested in are email/sms, light web browsing, laptop tethering.
Obviously PIM funtions.
I really don't care about playing music or videos so much.

8525 is pretty much the "bee's knees" of all at&t phones. No other phone in their stable (inlcuding the overhyped and overpriced iPhoney) can touch 8525 in terms of features and customization. I highly recommend you visit www.xda-developers.com and read as much as you can on their Hermes (8525) forums. Personally I loved the phone and the only reason I got rid of it is to get something smaller.

It definitely looks like the phone to beat in the AT&T lineup right now.
I know it is a little large, but the E62 & 6682 I have now aren't exactly tiny so that shouldn't be too much of a problem for me.

I will check out that xda-developer site also.
