ericsson p990 vs 8525

i have a very hard choice.... i dont know which one to purchase

i love the style of the 8525 and every other feature that it has, however, it does not have infrared and i really want a phone to have infrared.

the 990 has infrared and basically does everything the 8525 does, but i dont really like the look of the p990.

i also heard that the software for the 8525 is way better and more compatible with all other applications so im likin that also..

this phone does have picture id i presume, but what i want to know is, when i assign a picture to a number, when that same number calls me, does the picture take up the entire screen and when i am on the phone with the person, will the picture continue being displayed?? basically what i am tryin to ask is, if a picture is assigned to a number, when that number is called, would the picture display on the phone when the call is active??

does anyone know whether the phone that cingular provides come with the wifi, because i see that some versions do not offer the wifi...

i just looked at the reviews and someone said that this phone has infrared... however when i spoke to the cingular guy, he said that it doesnt? does it or does it not??

It doesnt come standard with a full pic but photo contacts pro will give full pictures on incoming call. Once the phone is answered, the pic goes away and goes to a timer and the name of the caller.

The cingular version does have wifi.

This phone is far more compatible than the SE.

Yes it has IR.

thanks alot... it helped me alot.. i think i will get the 8525....

wat else should i know about it..... how is the battery life and stuff

how does the phone function as an mp3 player

without the sd card, about how many songs can the phone hold

the more songs you add, does it slow down the phone...what are some pros of the phone and what are some cons..

this will really help

well with 3G, it will suck some battery life but you should be ok. It is probably the most powerful device that cingular offers at the moment. I dont recommend putting songs on the phone itself. I have a 700wx and I put all apps on phone and all mp3's on sd card. You can get a 4 GB SD card for a fair price on ebay or newegg.

im already excited about this phone.. the main thing im excited about is the wifi.... i have wirless in my house and have a laptop and also a pc, but havin a phone that can access the internet as easy as that is a plus... its a benefit that i dont have to pay for it also

i saw the sd card on newegg for about 50 dollars which is a pretty good price... what size do you recommend i get... i love to have ringtones assigned to certain people and certain groups and i love to have pictures assigned to people also... like almost every number in my phone has a picture assigned to it....

if you are thinking, i have the w600i which has 256 stock memory which is why i could have done all that.. and when i am on a call, the picture stays up, that...
