Re: Groundbreaking?!
It is not 3g. it has Edge, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wifi though. It is running a full version of os X. This is going to be a sweet phone. Check out Engadget.com for the live blog of the Apple Keynote.
It will come out on Cingular BTW.
Re: Does the 8125 support WPA2 for wi-fi?
I tried it on my home Linksys router and had no luck.
Re: Google Maps
Works fine for me. I just d/l'ed it and booted it right up.
Re: 8125 calendar and alarms--HELP!!!!!
I had this problem as well for awhile. I checked and made sure that my timezone was correct. Mine was wrong so I changed it and it fixed the problem. If you checked this already I don't know what to do.
Re: A couple of very quick questions (please help)
This is the best pda on Cingular right now. They do have an updated version of this coming out and I would suggest getting that. It should be out at the end of this week or so. It will be the Cingular 8525. It has a faster processor and some other tweaks. I don't know of any on line deals though. Sorry.
Re: message sent notification
There might be a way to do it in the registry but not an easy way through notifications or anything like that.
Re: Ringtones on card
You can put songs on your card and then touch and hold over the song to set it as a ring tone. That will copy it to your ring tone folder for you. You can't set songs as a ring tone with out having it on your phone's internal memory though.
Re: screen protector question
It takes patience and practice. I had the same problem with my Nintendo DS when I got a protector. You just have to be careful and practice.
Re: 8125 HELP!!!
You would have to check around the internet for programs for Windows Mobile 5 or WM5. If you can get it for WM5 you can put it on this phone.

Re: shutting the phone down
Right but his question was when programs freeze. That won't work if the device is frozen. That only works if the phone is working at the time.
Re: MDA VS. Sidekick 3
It has Wifi and Edge. That means you can use any hot spot and you can use your wireless carriers data as well. Just not their Wifi hot spots. Unless you pay of course.
Re: Cingular 8125 Questions
You can't sync Via Wifi or GPRS. It was a function of active sync and they got rid of it.
You can run and edit MS office docs on this device.
You can't sync wirelesly for anything. Outlook or MP3's.
As for signal it doesn't have the best signal. From my own experiance it does "ok" but not as good as it could be. How rural are you talking about? Also you have a 30 day window to return the phone ...
Re: Navigation
They are offering navigation. It works only with the Treo 650 and is kind of like Tom Tom. You Bluetooth a GPS receiver and it navigates for you.
Re: change from 39.99 plan to old 29.99 plan or prepaid?
If you talk to retention they may be able to get you that plan. I don't know their options but you can provision it in the billing system so it isn't our of the question.
As far as moving to Pre-paid I don't know if that is an option or not. Hopefully someone else can help you further.
Re: looking for a new phone
The only review I have heard was on the Engadget podcast last week. They said that Palm finally got it right and were very excited about the device. That is all I know.
Re: SLINGBOX
I bet it works great when your 8125 is on your Home WiFi network.
Re: how do i connect to the internet with fido

Re: Slow Wi Fi
Use My ISP for your WIFI.
Go to Start>
# From the "Start" menu tap Settings.
# Tap the Connections tab, select the Connections icon.
# Select the Advanced Tab.
# Tap Select Networks.
# Select My ISP.
Remember to change this back when you want to use non WiFi.
There are better ways to do this but it would take forever to explain in a post. If you want more info leave your e-mail and I will corespond with you about the best way to ...
Re: looking for a new phone
Does it need a QWERTY keyboard? If it doesn't I would get the HTC P3600. It's a PDA form factor but doesn't have a QWERTY Keyboard. It will also make calls if needed. It hasn't been launched in the USA yet but it should be soon. If not go with the Treo 750w that was just released in Europe. Cingular will be getting it.
Re: How to overclock an 8125/MDA
You can do it with a program from the XDA developers forums. It's called OmapClock. It will over clock your device untill it goes to sleep or you hit the power button. you can fix this with a little programming that they show you how to do in the forums.
Hope this helps

Re: Distribution list for text for the 8125
Entering their name isn't that hard. for example in the text message "to:" box you can type Steve. It will pull up all the steve's and you can then pick the number. It doesn't take long at all.
Re: shutting the phone down
Take your stylus out. Just to the left of your Ir port there is a small hole. Stick your stylus in there. That will Soft reset your phone.
Hope that helps.

Re: signal loss
I work for Cingular as well. I work in Business to Business Sales support. I get calls about this phone all the time but never anything bad. As far as dropping a data signal before you can make a call I have never had a problem. It turns off my data and places the call or turns off my data and rings my phone.
Example: I have Agile messenger on my phone. I was signed in and my GF ...
Re: Rom Update for the 8125 PPC
Yeah. It gets rid of everything not stored on your memory card.
Re: 8125 Question
No you can't but if they have the USB can't they just tranfer the file to the computer and print it from there?
Re: AIM
It's free from their website. Search for Agile Messenger and you should find it.
Re: Cingular 8525
I have seen some of our device roadmaps and it show this device comming out before the end of the year.
Re: signal loss
I have agile installed and the new firmware on my device. I don't drop calls or loose signal.
Re: Pop email and Medianet
I agree that they shouldn't have done that, if that is what they did.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Re: AIM
You can. you can download AIM itself or your can get Agile that works like Trillian and combines a bunch of messengers together including AIM.
Re: Discussion: The change back to at&t
They might as well say "Resistance is futile. The mother ship is comming."
Re: Pop email and Medianet
Ok. I work as a Cingular Sales support rep. Basically my function is to teach our authorized dealers about our services. I don't claim to know everything but here is what I know as a rep and as an 8125 owner.
You can use the $19.99 plan or any other media-net plan. According to Cingular though you should be on the 44.99 data only or 39.99 data w/voice PDA plan.
The differences are confusing even to me but here it ...
Re: Cingular 8525
Not to mention a faster processor.
Re: Script Alert ActiveX downloading please refresh
I have never been able to veiw those types of flash videos on my device. Sorry.
Re: on off switch using holster
Most Blackberries have that. It is magnetic switch in the phone. When you holster the phone there is a magnet in the holster that flips that switch and turns off the screen. I use the power button on my 8125 before I put it in my holster. It does the same thing basically.
To answer your qustion simply. No the 8125 doesn't have a holster that does that. Blackberry is the only device I know of that has that feature.
Re: help with 2gb mini sd card
I have a 2gb scandisck. It worked right out of the box. My phone detects it and everything works fine.
Re: Question on Xpress Mail
Wrong. For the Redirector it does for the full fledged Blackberry enterprise server it doesn't. The server costs about $4,000 to buy. The redirector that comes with the blackberry itself is free.
Re: Question on Xpress Mail
Xpress mail is just like the Blackberry or any other desktop redirector. You have to have your desktop on to receive your mail. It will only forward e-mails in your Inbox so if you have different sub folders with rules that sort your mail only the mail that stays in your inbox will be forwared to your phone. It will allow you to delete your e-mail on your phone and it will delete it out of your outlook as ...
Re: Stick with Sprints Fusic or Port to TMobiles MDA???!!!
The main reason for the price hike would be the amount of data you are going to use.
As an example I have the Cingular 8125 and work for them. Our plan for a regular phone for unlimited data is 19.99. The price for a PDA phone with unlimited data is 39.99. I had a SE W600I and used the internet all the time and never went over 5mb of data. I use my 8125 and I have over 20MB ...
