I played with one for 15 minutes at a cingular store and one of the things that impressed me was how solid the 8125 felt.

Can anyone post how to unlock this phone. Thanks

I would also like to know how to unlock this device for use on Tmobile. Thanks!

View,

The phone feels very solid and not plasticy at all. It's slightly heftier than my 7100g, but that's a good thing. I've never liked how thin the casing on my blackberry felt - always been worried about it cracking. I don't have the slightest worry of that happening with the 8125.

**phaijai** · 02-09-2006, 07:32 AM

I was wondering if you guys can answer two questions for me.

1.) When we receive the 8125, is there any need to train the battery (e.g. charge it all the way up, deplete it, and repeat three or four times)?

2.) I used to have a Dell Axim x50v with the old version of Activesync and have been on the Treo 650 for about 8 months now. With the new Activesync, am I am able to sync on two computers? I remember with my Axim, I could only have a partnership with one computer and syncing with the other became a big pain in the butt. Any experiences with the new version of Activesync?

Thanks.

Yeah I am upgrading from my treo so I am curious as well. Also how do I put my contacts from my treo onto my 8125?

Andru, aren't your contacts synced with your outlook? I am assuming that once you sync your 8125, the contacts from outlook should be synced, along with your tasks, notes, and calendar.

It may sound easy, but I am anticipating problems. That way, I am not overly surprised when it happens!

No they are not, and the reason is that I work for a company that has over 15,000 employess and don't want all fo there contacts in my phone. Can you choose which address book to import? That is what I am concerned about.

**trojan9x** · 02-09-2006, 07:59 AM

Send them via bluetooth? That's what I plan on doing with mine from my T637 hopefully.

seemed to have gotten overlooked earlier.

Thats what I plan to do. Cingular should overlook this. I'm not willing to pay the Unlimited Data plan at that price.

Where have I been... I guess the first shipment of 8125s have been picked up by all of you. I would put in an order today but I cant seem to find them online.. Who should I call and what is the best price we have seen so far?
