8525 FIRST TOUCH!!!
Had a meeting this morning and I had the chance to spend 10 good mins with the coveted 8525. In just going menu to menu it blew the 8125 away!! The back lit keyboard was just great. The ability for PTT when it launches is awesome! 3G its there and it rocks! The only thing it didn't have is built in GPS, but hey beggers can't be choosers! est. launch in about 2 weeks!! can't wait, but then again im looking at the pearl as well..... but yeah i was one of the first to touch it 🤤 i feel accomplished...............
...
of course it doesn't have built in GPS! the Cingular stores need to sell the bluetooth GPS add-on!
...
i know but still one can hope
...
Was it smaller than the 8125?? Give me the details! I want one so bad!
...
nope just about the same size it has a blackberry scroll wheel on the left hand side right atop the ptt button it is far more rounded. a little bit lighter. the back lit keypad was wonderful!!! it was a great experience now i want one more than ever
...
So the telenav app coming out requires additional hardware?
...
from what i heard there would be 2 ways to do it. one using data over you pda. and two there will be a bluetooh adapter that acts as your satallite. (i know spelling)

the telenav service requires a gps antenna. The one Cingular is selling right now retails at about $99.99. You'll need that, or built in GPS, and then the telenav service.
There are current two packages of service, but I can't think of the prices right now. One gives you ten routes per month, and the other is unlimited routes per month. You phone will need internet to get map updates, which average about 35k per update.
