All in all, I think that this phone is probably the greatest PDA phone ever made. It, by far, has the most features and upgrades available. The only downside that I can come up with so far is that the phone is a little on the expensive side. But to me it is definately worth every penny.

Pros: There is nothing that this phone can't do!
Cons: The phone has so many features that it takes awhile to learn how to use all of them.
It's all about the Apps

First off I am a Treo 650/700P user....loads of apps....goodlink etc. I had to get a WinMobile phone and decided to upgrade my spare phone which was on Cingular.
Amazing phone and I made right choice as I also have experience with Treo 750,700W,Q and BJack. The 8525 takes a dump all over those other devices.
It's all about the apps!!
1. SlingBox......get it and load the WINMOB client on the 8525.....and never be without again!! This alone is worth every penny of the data plan, if you are a mobile worker.
2. Synch with MS EXCH....this blows the doors off goodlink in terms of simplicity and speed. Good does have a few features like access to public folders and notes....but point the 8525 to the corporate owa server and BAM.....you have two way push email.
3. Google Maps.....there is a mobile client and I found it VERY helpful to have on the device....and only wish the 8525 had an OPEN GPS.
4. MSN works great.....IM, hotmail.....
5. Avaya IP Softphone.....perfect example of an app that can run while connected to WiFi. Once again the PDA version is required as well some VPN access...depending on your corp setup. Nothing like flipping the switch on the 8525 and transforming it into a full featured corporate telephone/with access to the complete telephony network.....no air time (WiFi).
So get your BT Stereo headsets/ear buds...load up the slingbox.....crank out some emails....set your appts...IM your friends and co-workers....proof your office docs....lookup your next calls directions....check your flight status....trade stocks....access the corp telephone network...and have a nice day. Only had the phone a week....give me a month and the app list will be really cranking!!!!

I bought this phone about a month ago, and I love it, i First started out with the old model the 8125, and i was hooked, i went from a piece of crap Razor which i had so many problems, to these PDAs.
I love the Keyboard, i can type fast and easy,. i Ablsolutly love the touch screen making it easy to use and select what you want, My battery lasts all day from texting to listening to music to the internet.
The Camera is great.
The price is high but its well worth it to be able to do everything and put anything from your computer on to it.
The things that bother me is i cant download any games,.. It tends to get slow sometimes, even when i turn it off nightly, not alot of memory. Its hard to find any cases or covers or anything for it. and randomly my signal goes out and my textsmessages dont send right. and alot of times myfriends dont know how to work it ha, but that has nothing to do with the phone.
Otherwise, I love this phone and wouldnt change it for anything in the world, The price isnt bad consididering i paid $300 when the Razors first came out and that phone was horrible. The keyboard is the main reason why i love it.

There is nothing that this phone cant do ! From mail, to messaging, to business, to pictures/videos, to music, then back to being a cellular phone. The battery life is great seing that phone's screen is so big. You can acess everything easily with the stylus, but you can also acess them via the track wheel and the 5-way navigation. The only downside I could think of would be the memory, but you can always buy a sandisk micro sd and add as much as you want. The phone is a little pricey but I would have paid more for this phone if I had to ! I recommend this phone to all business persons that would love to have the best phone available, or teenagers that want to have THE best phone at your school.

Cons: Battery life but you have to factor in phone size !

I had my treo 650 for about 2 years before this phone. im telling you having windows finally is so much better. (probably because iam a pc user) but there isn't anything this phone cant do, only if it had major storage, i can consider replacing my laptop! if your reading this review, and are considering to purchase this phone, well worth the price.
P.S. slingbox is awesome on this!

Good processor speed, amazing internet connection speeds and overall PDA funtions. Best I owned so far, The camera takes really good photos and video for a 2 MP camera. The only 2 things that I will love to see improve is the weight and the battery life but this will not keep me from repating this phone in the future.

Best set of features on any phone on the market today. This has all the best features of the treo and bb combined plus a very nice pull out keyboard friendly to those with bigger fingers.
This 3G phone is easy to use and does it all. Has Wifi (Treo doesn't), it has a scroll wheel like the BB, has expansion card (microsd) which many phones lack, infra redport (handy for beaming with Palms and other so equipped devices) has a 2 mega picture camera (not hi-def, but better than most). Email feature is easy to use (set it up right away), calendar is great, many alarms and fun ring tones standard. Literature says it is a quad band phone so you can use it in most places in the world (I don't travel that much but nice to know).
Included Microsoft Office (mobile) has excel, word, powerpoint etc. so great for heavy duty office user.
It is a bit expensive $350 after rebate but given that it is a little computer.
Battery: If I use the phone all day and constantly check email and browse the web I still get 9-10 hours. If I am not checking email or using the phone much it lasts two or more days.
Cingular should promote this phone more it is tremendous. I've had it 3 months and still love it. Cingular support on the tech and data plans has been suprisingly good and now that they are rolling out 3g all over why not have a phone to use it so you can browse faster.
I turn the phone off once a day and reset the windows mobile 5.0 operating system at night. Some people complain about this, it seems live a very small thing to do for a phone with so many features.
Given all the things that it does, it is essentially a computer and a phone, the price is reasonable to me.
Phone quality and speaker phone quality is very good. I use a blue tooth headset in the car.
If you are a "power user" and are looking for a phone with a lot of features and don't mind the price you won't be disappointed.

This phone does it all! I just got back from a year overseas and I was looking for something in the way of a new phone that was just more than i could ever need, honestly, since this was a treat to myself. And what a treat it has been! Great signal quality, sound quality, awesome on the internet, love the ability to sync with my Microsoft Outlook... touch screen is really great, too. Stylus is a little short, but if you are a clutter-junkie, buy a few Palm or iPaq styli and sit them around the place - worked for me... Only downfall is accessories are as rare as hens teeth, but all the accessory needs can be met on the cheap with some creative eBay shopping - I've got a dock cradle, a bluetooth headset, docking cradle, screen protectors, extra styli, extended battery, extra chargers - and I've spent less than $140 for it all!
The Windows Mobile and Excel and Word have come in handy when I'm on the go... I have been a huge Windows skeptic although I've put up with it, but now, I think I've truly come over to the Dark Side with this.
This phone does it all except ... well, you'll find out when you get one. Yeah, it's pricey, but if you're on the go, this phone will keep your life manageable. Enjoy!
