Worth upgrading 8125 to Tilt?

I have a couple questions. I went by my local store to check it out and they didn't have a display and were already sold out.

1. Is it worth the upgrade? First let me mention that I don't travel much so I most likely won't use GPS that much. Usually when I travel it's with the family and we have a factory GPS in our pilot. I looked it up and there is no 3G service in my area. Pretty much I mainly use my phone for email, internet, RSS, and calendar features. I have installed MS Voice Command, SPB Pocket Plus, TapText etc and hope they still work.

2. Right now I have the Media Max plan on my 8125 and I"m afraid if I go to the store and upgrade to get the better price they'll catch it and take it off and require I do the PDA (Ripoff) plan.

Any thoughts?

I had the 8125, and honestly I really didn't like it. I then got the 8525 and loved it, and like the Tilt about the same (a little more than, obviously) the 8525.
In my opinion it's worth it to upgrade to the 8525 OR Tilt.
For one thing the keyboard on the 8125 sucks, and the keyboard on the 8525 and Tilt is far superior.

If they make you switch to the PDA plan, you should be able to log in to your account at wireless.att.com (OLAM) and just go switch it back to media max in the "add/mange features" section.

But you can't use 3G and no use for GPS. I admit it's hard to justify the upgrade. If you like the 8125 and it's doing what you want, then don't bother. But if there's something on the Tilt that you want, I think a much better device.
I would really try to get a little hands-on time if you can manage to find a store with it.

If you had asked "Is it worth upgrading to Tilt from 8525?" then the answer could have been Yes or No depending on what you need, but, since you asked "Is it worth upgrading to Tilt from 8125?", my definite answer to this question would be HECK YEAH!.

I'll see if I can find it somewhere. My main and only gripe with the 8125 is having to reboot it all the time and it's speed. If the speed goes up any I would be tempted.

So now I have to decide it it worth messing with AT&T to get the 8925 or just picking up a 8525 for cheap off ebay like I did my 8125.....

Bearing what I've said my uses are should I look at the 8525 or the 8925?
