Any Current 8125 Users Who Once Had SX66?

Hi All. I am still using my SX66. I have learned to live with some of its quirkiness like frequent soft resets to get the phone and bluetooth to work sometimes. But besides those, this phone has been a workhorse. I have not used a device since that offers the power, functionality (lots of hardware buttons), screen size and great slider keyboard that the SX66 has. I am reading a lot of good things about the 8125 but a few things have me concerned.

First, I have a great Krussel case with my SX66 that allows me to easily slide open the keyboard and use it. The side-sliding 8125 seems kind of a pain. Is there a good case out there for the 8125. I know its keyboard is larger, but I have never had problems with the one on the SX66. Comments on the side keyboard?

Second is of course the seemingly slower processor and lower RAM (I do realize that the 8125 won't suffer memory loss from hard resets like my SX66, but with Sprite backup that isn't a problem for me).

Have any of you had problems with the phone periodically not working on the 8125. Every once in a while the SX66 will dial out but you cannot hear the caller on the other end, requiring a soft reset.

Same question with bluetooth. Any probs on 8125? The SX66 sometimes requires a soft reset in order for bluetooth to come on.

The speaker phone volume on the SX66 is pretty poor. Is the 8125 any louder?

Last but not least, is anyone running Goodlink successfully on the 8125? If so what version? Goodlink has been nothing short of the sorriest piece of software ever written on windows mobile 2003.

Any other general comparisons between these two would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have used both...i like the 8125 for the size compared to the sx66. I notice subtle differences in the software. 8125 is of course faster and has the camera. I love the keyboard on it. if it didn't have the wifi i would still use the sx66...make the switch my friend

The volume was very loud on the SX66. It also is on the 8125. Get the proporta case. I have it for both.
