Review of Cingular 2125 - new MS Smartphone that is coming soon to USA
December 04, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.
Cingular 2125 is not an American incarnation of HTC Tornado but it is a bid different construction - HTC Faraday. This is the first real review of this phone. It lacks Wi-Fi and UMTS but it has EDGE and in combination with availability of flat rate mobile Internet access in USA - it can therefore still be a perfect mobile phone for some people! Read on!
Well the device doesn’t have WiFi. As I stated earlier, I don’t really care. With EDGE I have been seeing speeds between 150-210kb/s. I ran 6 tests on the Mobile Speed Test at dslreports.com. For the tests I selected either the 200kb or the 600kb file size. I think they best represent actual speed of the device. On average I would say I was seeing about 175kb/s for either file size. Sure it would be nice to have the 1mb/s+ speeds of WiFi, but with the relatively low cost ($19.99) for unlimited data on Cingular, I’m ok with not having it. With a device like the wizard which has a larger screen, it would be a different story, but the small screen really doesn’t need it (IMHO). If you HAVE to have WiFi, you’ll be paying the $499 for the SP5(m) or waiting who knows how long for the TMobile device.
