My third Windows Mobile Smartphone, the Cingular 2125 is the one I plan to keep. The potential of Windows Mobile has always been great because of its ability to work so well with the majority of computer desktops. The reality hasn't been great until Windows Mobile 5.0. The Cingular 2125 is the first US Smartphone to include this OS. That in and of itself makes the phone attract attention, the fact that the 2125 represents an excellent implementation of the OS is even better. My first Windows Mobile phones, the troublesome Moto MPX 200 and the styless Samsung i600, were disappointments. The earlier versions of Windows Mobile these phones carried was a significant part of the problem, but Moto and Samsung contribued to those problems with dumb design decisions and poor implementation. I swore off Windows Mobile after these two experiences. I amback because Windows Mobile 5.0 is signifcant comeback for Microsoft. It is a stable, effective and flexible OS and allows manufacturers and operators to offer creativity of their own and create some distinction among brands. If the Cingular 2125 looks familiar, it should. Versions of this HTC built phone have been around for a while. The 2125 fixes some problems with these earlier versions without adding any new ones of its own. Chief among the fixes is the use of a rather tiny joystick for navigation rather than a cumbersome rocker switch. The famous hump at the top of the phone is also an actual improvement. The hump houses a longer antenna than the previous models, and this pays off handsomely. I really get "more bars in more places" with this phone than I have ever seen. Some reviewers have complained about the power switch on the 2125. It is not hard to use but it pushes down, not in, as many people are accustomed to. That just shows how good this phone is: the major point of complaint is the power switch. Any Smartphone needs to work as a phone first and a PDA second. The 2125 excells as a phone. And Microsoft has vastly improved the PDA features in WM 5 over what I experienced before. The 2125 screen is QVGA quality, very bright and easy to read. I particularly like the choice of uses for the buttons on the sides of the 2125. Besides the usual volume control on the left side, another left side button gives quick access to silencing the ringer, as well as Bluetooth and ActiveSync settings. A right side button controls the 1.3 megapixel camera. To me, these are practical choices for these buttons. I dislike the so called smart button on the side of some Moto phones. The function changes depending on what you are doing, which for me is impossible to remember. The 2125 is lightweight at 106 grams. It is no RAZR but I have been able to carry it in shirt pocket without feeling weighed-down. The phone is EDGE accessible and at least around the Puget Sound area I have found that service fast and reliable. After just a few weeks the shortcomings of my earlier Smartphones had become apparent and annoying. After a month with the 2125 I haven't found a nit to pick yet let alone any major issues.

this is my first phone purchase and i had a hard time making up my mind as to which one. with the salesman's help i decided on a 2125. it's a little overwelming for a first phone but i didn't want to buy one dumbed-down only to want more later on. a printed manual would be nice but all of the information is available on-line, plus who carries a manual around with them anyways? the reception is awsome everywhere i need it to be, even in areas that friends report as dead. voice volume is good but the phone needs to be held just right to hear, i haven't tried the ear buds yet. the battery shows almost a full charge even after being on all day. on-line speed is fine even on their slower network. so far all of my needs have been exceeded and i am just starting to learn the potential this phone offers!
