Overall, the Cingular 8525 is fast, memory-efficient and well-designed smart phone made particularly attractive by an intelligent keyboard design and relatively large display. It’s an excellent choice for corporate road warriors and geeks on the run.

While the Cingular 8525 is a solid performer in most regards, it fails to show any real greatness. It has a good display, a good keyboard, and great connectivity options and data rates. But it is also very bulky, quite heavy, and more than a bit cumbersome to use at times.

The Cingular 8525 Pocket PC answers the call for more speed by being the first smart phone in North America to support HSDPA, Cingular’s mobile broadband network, and the first 3G-enabled PDA in the U.S. to have international 3G capabilities. Add in a couple of other welcome refinements and you have one of the most versatile Windows Mobile devices money can buy.

I’d been waiting for a smaller format 3G connected Pocket PC for a long time, and the TyTN lived up to my expectations. It’s neat, tidy, well designed and pocketable. The keyboard works well and it is nice to see the scroll wheel return.
