cingular 8125 V BlackJack II Jan 11 2008, 9:54 PM EST i have had my 8125 for about a year and half now and i am leaning towards getting a bj2. i am tired of the weight of the 8125, the slow and internet connection, the touch screen, and the constant restarts. a few friends have the bj1 & bj2 and these phones seem to eliminate the issues i have with the 8125. any have opinions from own experience switching or from reading reviews or just using a friends. they have dropped to 99.99 but am tired of buying phones every year or so i want one that will be good & last. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: cingular 8125 V BlackJack II Jan 21 2008, 7:25 AM EST I had a Blackjack for about 3 weeks. Quite a few nice software features, can't beat the size & weight. My issue was sound quality. A few of my clients asked if I was in a hall, this using just the phone, no headset. I'd previously used a cell phone and a Dell Axim. I like being able to load Microsoft reader and download books from such polces as Gutenburg Project. I absolutely HATE standing in line, but if I can read, that makes it more tolerable. Can't load Reader on smartphones, of which the blackjack is one. Also a couple types of documents you can only read with the blackjack, no editing. Considering the weight of carrying a Dell AXim PLUS a cell phone, I find the heft of the 8525 to be only a small nuisance when compared to what it can do which the Blackjack can't. That being said, I spent a good deal of time trying to talk myself INTO keeping the Blackjack. The telephone sound quality was a big issue as I use my cell for business. I keep my 8525 in my lower smock / jacket pocket at work, bought a mini usb mono earbud ( just haven't found a bluetooth headset I really like ) and snake the wire up to the collar. I keep the earbud in the upper pencil pocket, phone rings, just pop it in my ear, hit the button on the little mic section & talk. Check out other folks experiences with Blackjack at epinions.com and techies reviews at z-net.com AT&T lets you try it up to 30 days & return it if you decide you have an issue with the phone. When I took mine back, no guff, no problems. Do you find this valuable? |
