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...............

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.
