Cingular/HTC 8525 / HSDPA (APPROVED)

**IMSReady** · 10-23-2006, 11:55 AM

I just talked with Cingular's reginal manager of Maryland and Delaware area, he assurerd me that the 8525 will drop before the end of October 2006, with the worst scenario slipping into the first week of November. He also said the local stores and online purchase will be synchronized in the release.

I hope this will make all of us happy as people started losing temper to each other after suffering long painful hopeless waiting torture

The premier site we use at my office to order phones / service is being updated right now. I tried to access it but it said to try back since an update was taking place. I would LOVE to login an hour from now and see the 8525 there!!!

hey...just logged into premier...nothing yet however isnt today the day roc a fella had quoted. I know my source still avidly says October 29th/30th, but I was hoping for it to sneak onto the premier site a few days early. Either way we are less than a month off, which of course I thought we were about a month ago, so only time will tell

Looks like Cingular redesigned their website over the weekend. This webpage must've been designed to fit in with this new site setup. This person must've gotten an inside link. Release looks immenent.

Looks like a screenshot for the premier site ..

**exchguy** · 10-23-2006, 02:12 PM

Must be some kind of internal link. Can the poster say if this came from Cingular's intranet?

I'm not seeing it on Premier. Premier customer service does not have any information on it (at least the person I spoke with). Definately looks like it will be soon either way.

I just sent over the image with our corporate order form to see if they can get this for me. Will let you know what happens.

I remember seeing the 23rd, and then the 25th. For some reason I put the 24th in my calendar as the first possible tentative date. So keep an eye on it between now and the end of the month. <Praying>

**leaky** · 10-23-2006, 02:34 PM

I remember some of us saying that we would give them to the 26th.

**webtoker** · 10-23-2006, 02:35 PM

Roc a Fella said the 24th as the early release date . . . but he said that could change. Is it just me or is there a tingle in the air?

**jimalaiyah** · 10-23-2006, 02:43 PM

Looks like their web and marketing teams are pre-staging the info. Cingular phone reps (including Cingular Business) still don't know anything about it.

Yes I am. If the Treo comes out within 30 days of when I got the 8125 (seems unlikely,) then I'll exchange for the Treo. But if the Treo doesn't and the 8525 does (which seems promising,) then I'll exchange it for an 8525...and still buy the Treo (both.) I haven't decided to keep both or sell the 8525 if I got both. Basically I want either one to come out before Nov 2 so I can exchange. But just as easily neither will and I'll just get the Treo (and just keep or sell the 8125.)

For some reason when you go to www.attwireless.com it will take you to the Business Center site where this screenshot came from.

Yep, but if you go into phones it doesn't list anything but the current phones. Nothing on the 8525, which I think the marketing slick posted by the earlier poster is not out there..at least not for the public yet.

www.attwireless.com redirects you to www.cingular.com. If you are business user or if you've selected business use, then it will redirect from there to the business site.

Question For Y'all,

I am looking at the 8125 for now or the 8525 when it becomes available. I've never used a PPC before, and my biggest need is to use for running GPS software with a BT GPS receiver. Beyond that, the basic PDA address book and calendar functions, some basic web browsing and email, this thing will be mainly a phone for me. I'm not what you'd call a serious business user, and I don't know how much of the application stuff I will use, but that could change if the capability is there....

I need a touch screen cause of the GPS, but beyond that requirement, does the 8525 still sound like the right phone for me? I was thinking maybe I will like less OS and maybe the palm OS would be better for me. Any thoughts?

**Jakaroe808** · 10-23-2006, 03:28 PM

It could really be happening.. the 8125 showed up early and then disappeared a day or two before it's release.. Could it be?

I have had the 8125 since its release and it has been a great experience as my first PPC. I came from Smartphones and would have a hard time going back to anything else including the palm os.. It sounds like you may take advantage of some of the capabilities including Wifi, 3G, at first but I have a feeling once you see what else it can do you will find other uses for it.. I would highly recommend it over palm and if you dont think you want to spend the cash for an 8525, the 8125 is an excellent device and by the looks of it, you'll be able to find one very well priced in the next few days/weeks..
