8525, Treo 750 or wait on iPhone?
jdmJan 10, 2007, 10:52 PM
I'm looking to upgrade and I'm looking at one of the PDA phones (just to make life easier).
I like the Wi-Fi on the 8525....which the Treo seems to be missing. I realize some don't like the WM5 OS, but I want to eventually use it with a Slingbox (would the OSX on iPhone be compatible?)
Are there any other features either missing from one device or that would be superior on one device compared to another? Even though it's much more than a phone...it is still a phone...which has the better reception? I live in AL, and travel all over the state with my job. Excellent reception is a must!
Any suggestions?
TIA

wait on the iphone, it is going to be revolutionary. If anybody doesnt believe me check out Steve Jobs' keynote on apple website.

i personally would wait for the iphone. it has got to be the most revolutionary gadget I have ever seen(next to the internet).
I do think that the slingbox will eventually be compatible. Many people are upset because the iphone doesnt have 3G. But IMO, who cares? I know I personally dont want to shell out 40 bucks a month for cingular's crappy data plans. I would much rather stick to free WiFi. But to each his/her own I guess.

The slingbox may work with the wifi on the Iphone but i wouldn't expect too much out of its edge service.

Should (?) work on Wi-Fi side. I use Slingbox Mobile on my 8125 on Wi-Fi. Won't work on Edge.

if you want a phone and an mp3 player, get the iphone. if you want a pda, get the 8525. the iphone will be a great media device, just not a great pda. it just depends on how much you are gonna use it as a pda. just my 2 cents. 😁
