I want to upgrade from my Nextel BB to a 3G smartphone/PPC device. I just brought home a Samsung Blackjack and hate it. I'm thinking I'll like the 8525 better. Waiting for my local dealer to get it.
Currently I have emails sent to my personal email address bounced to the nextel web redirector which pushes the email to my BB. I have the reply-to on my BB set to my personal email address. This works pretty well.
From what I understand, you can load BB software on to the 8525 to make it work as a BB? Is this correct? Would I just sign up for a Cingular BB plan then use the Cingular BB web redirector like how I currently use the nextel one to deliver my messages to the 8525 via push? Does the BB client for the 8525 have the reply-to field?

What do you hate about the Blackjack?

It's slow, I hate the interface. I think I need a touch screen. The screen is too small, I don't like the keyboard. Basically, I don't feel its a upgrade from my old BB except it has better color. This is not to say the blackjack is a bad device. Just not a device I want.
If you want a phone that can get emails and do other little things then the Blackjack may for for you. It's really thin and light also. If you want a PDA style device that you can do serious emailing and web surfing something else may be better. I'm hoping that something else will be the 8525.
