Run on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 with Direct Push Technology, the 8525 allows users to retrieve their information in the familiar environment found on most desktop computers, including mobile versions of many of the familiar Microsoft features found on their desktops, such as mobile versions of Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and Outlook.

The feature pack also provides advanced security features, including remote device wipe, remotely enforced IT policy and S/MIME support.

The Cingular 8525 Pocket PC is an ideal device for the power business user both during work-time and downtime. Corporate users can have their company email pushed to their Pocket PC in real-time with Microsoft Direct Push or Good Mobile Messaging wireless email solutions. Thanks to the combination of BroadbandConnect and Windows Mobile 5.0, they can quickly open and edit large Word and Excel documents and view PowerPoint, PDF and photo attachments. People can also get their personal email pushed to the device using the popular Cingular Xpress Mail service. The Cingular 8525's QWERTY, backlit "slider" keyboard makes creating or replying to a message an easy experience.

With TeleNav GPS Navigator, Cingular 8525 users now can get turn-by-turn voice and on-screen directions directly on their device for use when driving or walking.

During a break in the day or after business hours, users can relax by listening to their favorite music on Windows Media Player 10 Mobile using wired or Bluetooth-enabled stereo headsets, or enjoy video clips courtesy of MobiTV. The Cingular 8525 also comes equipped with a 2.0-megapixel digital camera and video recorder for sharper photos and video. With an optional 1 GB microSD card, customers can store about 250 songs, more than 1,000 games or over 2,000 standard resolution photos. In addition, the Cingular 8525 provides users with seamless access to integrated Wi-Fi (802.11 b and g), Bluetooth 2.0, and infrared.

Cingular's UMTS / HSDPA-enabled BroadbandConnect service is based on the global standard and natural 3G evolutionary path for GSM providers. BroadbandConnect is currently available in the U.S. in 134 markets (with populations of more than 100,000 surrounding more than 50 major metropolitan cities. The company said it will continue to expand coverage to additional markets in and around major metropolitan cities in the coming months. Internationally, there are currently 142 UMTS networks in 61 countries and 72 HSDPA networks.

BroadbandConnect provides average downlink data speeds between 400-700 kbps with bursts to more than a Mbps and uplink speeds to 384 kbps. When traveling outside the BroadbandConnect coverage area, the Cingular 8525 seamlessly enables service on Cingular's EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) network, available in more than 13,000 cities and towns and in areas along more than 40,000 miles of highways.
