I have had this phone for just a couple months. It is in great condition with no scratches, never dropped, etc.

It comes with all the original accessories plus a BoxWave Anti-glare screen protector already installed. Also included is a handmade leather case from Piel Frama (pielframa.com for info on the case).

I love this phone. It works great and has given me no problems. I am only selling it because I have switched providers and it is not compatible.

I am asking $500 USD plus shipping (your choice on carrier). I will accept Money Order or Paypal.

Please PM me if you are interested or have any questions.

This phone is still available. It is in Excellent condition. Photos available on request. I may negotiate on the price so make an offer.

OK, someone help me out. I thought this was a popular phone and I know it is priced at least $100 cheaper than most retail sites (w/o contract of course). So what am I doing wrong here?

Ok, I'll add my two cents... since you asked:

1. $500 is too much for the 8125. Since you didn't mention it, I assume it's still locked to Cingular. You mention your price is less than an unlocked version or out-of-contract... Well, it SHOULD be! Comparing the 8125 to a qtek 9100 or a Kjam is apples to oranges. I got my Kjam here for $350 in February.

2. The 8125 in my opinion is not as aesthetically pleasing as the unlocked versions, or the tmobile MDA. Many people just don't like the keyboard on the 8125 either. Same goes for the stylus.

3. Along the same lines as #1, people here don't want the stock Cingular software slowing down their devices. While I'm at it, because it's still a Cingular locked device, you're eliminating a lot of potential buyers who may be on a different gsm carrier and can't just simply put in their SIM card and go. Have you considered unlocking your device and changing the ROM?

4. Your accessories are cool, but it's the device that's holding the overall package back.

5. You follow-up by saying that you "may" be interested in negotiating - well are you or aren't you? Saying stuff likes this doesn't give us buyers any confidence in you.

6. And finally: the Wizard -though only about eight months old- is yesterday's news. People are saving their money for tomorrow's devices (Hermes, StrTrk, etc.)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Unless you drop your price to the $275 range, people here aren't going to even open your post. I opened your post to see if anyone commented on your price, and I'm surprised I'm the first.

Besides, I'm pretty sure I saw a cingular in-store deal last week offering the 8125 for WAY less than your initial price, albeit with contract. You're not going to make a profit on the 8125 at this point in the lifecycle of this device, so I'd suggest pricing it accordingly if you really want to sell it.

OK I have now unlocked the phone so that it can be used on any GSM carrier.

The BoxWave screen protector is no longer included (i removed it to put on my new 6700, didn't realize it wasn't re-useable) but the screen is still in perfect condition.

The phone still includes all the original accessories plus a handmade leather case from Piel Frama.

Now for the best part... I have dropped the price to $350 plus shipping.

Please send a PM if you are interested. Thanks.
