Put unprecedented power in the palm of your hand with the impressive Cingular 2125 Smartphone. It's amazingly small, it runs Windows Mobile 5.0, it's got Bluetooth, it supports EDGE high speed data, and it's a quad-band phone. In a word, this thing is loaded. With all the tools you need to stay connected and organized -- plus a few things to help you have fun -- the 2125 is the perfect choice.
The 2125 lets you do things you'd typically need a PC to do, like email, text messaging, instant messaging and web browsing-- all from one integrated phone. What's more, the phone's software is designed to sync seamlessly with email, contacts and calendar information on your PC. The 2125 also offers great mobile music and video options, thanks to Windows Media Player.
Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via Bluetooth, USB, or IR connection). Users who want high-speed EDGE data connectivity on the road with their laptop or PDA can select a Cingular data plan and tap the 2125's wireless modem capabilities.
 The Cingular 2125 puts unprecedented power in the palm of your hand. View an interactive demo of the phone's features. |
Design
With a 240 x 320 screen, the 2125 has extremely high resolution when you consider the screen measures just 2.2 inches diagonally. Below the screen, the 2125's controls maximize available space on the small unit. Contextual menu select keys are arrayed just below the display, just above a five-way selection button that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. A mini-SD memory expansion card slot is provided, and the rear of the phone sports a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture capability. The power key and an infrared port are housed on the top of the unit, while a universal charger/data port and headphone jack are on the bottom. A mini-USB port is also provided for wired data transfers.
Calling Features
The 2125 has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect from a high-end handset. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible. And a ringer and picture ID system makes it easy to identify your most common callers.
Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 2125 is designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them. The unit comes packed with mobile versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. Outlook Mobile features integrated calendar and email functions, as well as a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too.
 The 240 x 320 screen displays all your vital info in one place. |
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 2125, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. T9 predictive text entry technology is also included.
Imaging and Entertainment
In addition to the 1.3 megapixel still camera, the 2125 is capable of recording 176 x 144 video clips to its built-in 64 MB of memory, or to the miniSD memory expansion card. The inclusion of Windows Media Player on the 2125 opens up a whole range of possibilities for this phone. Use it as a digital music player (with the included stereo headset), or sync the device with Windows Media Player on your PC to download last night's TV shows so you can watch them whenever you want. Or watch streaming content from the Web. For gamers, the phone supports Java-based and Windows Mobile game downloads.
Vital Statistics
The Cingular 2125 weighs 3.74 ounces and measures 4.57 x 1.81 x 0.69 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 6 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
Product Description
The AT&T 2125 is AT&T’s first Smartphone to support Windows Mobile 5.0 and EDGE. This device targets mobile professionals and enterprise users who want a voice/date device with international roaming capability and the ability to support enterprise email solutions in a sleek, phone-centric design.

This phone is fantastic. Cant believe that it is now free with rebates from Amazon, I paid $[...] for it just 3 months ago but it is still great!!!
I was using a treo 600 earlier and now use this. As long as you dont need a full fledged keyboard (T9 input is great), then this is the phone for you. If you need one occasionally, get a bluetooth keyboard or Moto Q.
Pros:
1) Looks great
2) Highly functional - replaced my treo 600 which crashed all the time. Also it retains everthing even if the battery dies unlike the treo.
3) Easy to use
4) Great multimedia functions, you can even load your Audible content onto this phone. I got a miniSD card and I have my music on it as well
5) Easy to take voice notes (for quick reminders)
6) Easy sync with Outlook. I sync using mini USB at home and bluetooth at work and it works flawlessly.
7) Get gmail and internet on the go (i have the unlimited data plan for 20 bucks)
8) decent camera (no flash though) for quick photos/video
9) Excellent software add-ons
Tips
To get the best out of this phone:
1) Get Facade and Papyrus - it improves the calender/task function a great deal (it is like datebook/agendus for palm, similar cost)
2) Google local for mobile (a java app you download) - you have to use it just once and you are hooked, it is like google maps/local search combined. you can enter your location,then type pizza(gas) to see all the revelent searches on the screen and can even call the location for you. Outstanding and free.
Saved me a few times (found directions once when I got lost)
3)Audible player : if you have audible
4)Configure your mail: any pop3/imap will work
5)Try One Note Beta : Incredible, you can take pics/audio notes and sync it with one note, a great app. This is beta and a trial version is available from Microsoft. (I am not affiliated with them or Google in anyway)
6)Power button - easy to use once you know how, pull down dont push
7) Keypad lock - press the call hang up button (red phone icon) a little longer
8) Set phone setting to automatic mode, this automatically sets your phone to vibrate for meetings set in your calender. You can do a quick settings change using the power button see 6
Future addition:
1)GPS over bluetooth - I am getting Copilot live - will test that. too bad tomtom doesnt sell the smartphone version in US
2) Bluetooth headphone - for music and handsfree
Cant go wrong with this phone.

I've been a long-time Treo user (300, 600 and 650) and while I always liked the capabilities it bugged me carrying around what essentially was a small laptop on my belt.
The 2125 is exactly what I wanted - a PHONE with most of the Treo's capabilities - in a much smaller form factor.
Interface has some quirks and takes a bit of getting-used-to, but once you're familiar with it the software - both operating system and applications - work very well. The T9 text entry software works well too - I really don't miss the full keyboard (and I certainly don't miss the space it took). Overall, the unit hasn't crashed yet (all of my Treos crashed regularly). The hardware build quality is very solid too.
Just remember - it's a smartPHONE, not a full-fledged PDA - but if that's what you're looking for this is a great unit. Highly recommended.

This is my first "smartphone". I am not a business person, so I don't need a lot of applications road-warriors may. However, I'm an email addict and don't always have access to a computer throughout the day. I have been happy with it overall. For perspective, I am switching from an extremely basic Nokia phone which was with Verizon. I've had the phone for about 8 weeks.
Pros:
1. Pocket-sized. Very important for me. I'm a woman who often doesn't carry a purse, and my phone needs to fit in my pocket.
2. Reception is better than any phone I've had. I get reception where other Cingular customers do not.
3. Easy access to email. I program the phone to check for new emails every 15 minutes.
4. Screen has excellent resolution and color.
5. Best of all, Cingular's "smartphone" unlimited data plan is only $20, whereas for Blackberry, Palm, etc, it's $49/ month.
6. 2G memory card-compatible, for files, music, etc.
7. Battery life fairly good for such a small phone.
8. Very easy to import my contacts/address book from SBC Yahoo and to add new contacts.
9. Love the toggle (mouse equivalent). Makes searching quick.
10. Phone was FREE through Amazon w/2-year new activation (purchased in June 2006).
Cons:
1. Easy to use up memory. Because of the windows-based platform, you need to remember to "clean up" and close open applications to free up memory.
2. EDGE is very slow, if you're used to broadband.
3. Easy to make unintended calls if you don't always lock the keypad (which is easy to do).
4. Ringtones could be louder. No "standard" ring.
5. No QWERTY, but it's the price you pay for small size.T9's adequate for the short emails I send, but it's cumbersome for sending longer messages.
Overall, this phone is perfect for my needs in terms of size, reception, and capability.
