Need a smartphone with Cingular

I have been using a Moto MPX220 for about a year and 1/2 and am getting ready to migrate to Cingular (from an old AT&T acct) and am looking at smartphone options. The latest, greatest appears to be the PDA style 8125, but I have always looked at my phone as primarily a phone with smartphone features I don't want to give up (Outlook syncing). I am not sure about moving to a PDA style phone. Any suggestions?

I recommend the Nokia 6682. Great SMARTPHONE with all the great features including Mp3 Player, and 1.3MP Cam.

why not the 2125. Windows based, candybar (so its small), and still a smartphone.

Both seem like solid phones, it would just depend on your preference. Check out a Phonescoop side-by-side:

I am with Cingular (original orange customer) and had a Motorola v600 that I truly grew to hate which is another story.

My wife had already upgraded to an Audiovox SMT5600 which she loves. To be honest, I went to the Cingular store looking for a 2125, but the sales person showed me the new 8125 (just released that day).

I was originally wowed by the 8125, but after 6 days, I returned it for a 2125. The main reason being that I wanted a 'phone-centric' device with some PDA/PIM features and not a PDA with phone features.

I wanted a one hand device (here I liked dialing and navigating with the 2125 better than the touchscreen or sliding keyboard of the 8125).

In addition, my 2125 has noticably better reception than the 8125 did (this is not necessarily indicative of the phones in general).

The 8125 has wifi, and the 2125 doesn't; but the 2125 with edge is fine for my needs. You should also compare the prices of the data plans for the 2 devices ;-)

So, for me the main decision point between the 2 devices should be if you want to use the device as a phone first or a PDA first.

Hope this helps.
