Cingular 8525 Quirks
1. You no longer see the active sync icon/symbol in the signal strength area when the unit is going through the ActiveSync DirectPush process
2. E for EDGE never shows on the signal area. Only G for GPRS. Also, 3g is U for UMTS and doesn't show H for HSDPA. It doesn't differentiate between the two.
3. No standard 2.5mm headset jack. They've removed it and you now must use the mini USB jack to use a headset.
4. Keyboard no longer has the symbol "$" and you must go into the symbols mode to get a $.
5. Very easy to inadvertently change the volume with the jog wheel during a call.
6. Jog wheel implementation is poor, just like in the Motorola Q. Sometimes turning the wheel fast will cause it to go the opposite way you want and sometimes it advances a page, sometimes a line. (Motorola Q has the same problems.... maybe issue with Windows Mobile both in Smartphone and Phone editions and a jog wheel?)
Good Qurks!
1. However, good things is the unit is noticeably faster.
2. It also has a "windows" and "ok" button now (well, it has 2 ok buttons now).
3. Jog wheel, though the implentation is quirky in that sometimes one click goes a whole page and sometimes one click advances or goes back 1 line.
4. Job wheel doesn't adjust volume. From the home screen, you can no longer push the job up and down to adjust the system volume. You must touch the on screen speaker in the menu bar.
5. No problems with bluetooth handsfree so far. Haven't tried a2dp yet. Though a2dp works well on the Moto Q.
6. Number pad is in the shape of a phone pad, which makes dialing much easier than the 8125 layout spread across the top.
7. the quick dial from the phone screen seems smarter.
