I'm thinking of upgrading to a PDA phone and am debating between the Cingular 8125 and the Blackjack. I was wondering if anyone had experience with them and could give me a good comparison of the two.

Cingular 8125 vs. Blackjack - opinions?
- Thread starter Gherkinhead

I have an 8125, a 3125, and a Blackjack. I like all three of them, but the Blackjack is my favorite right now. I like the size and having the full keyboard. It reminds me more of the Treo and Some of the Blackberrys I have had in the past. it is very easy to use one handed, something I couldn't do very easily with the 8125, and the 3G internet is awsome. If you are considering these two, I'd look at the 8525. The 3G is better than the Edge, and it has the full keyboard.
Thanks

As much as I'd love to have th 8525, it's just more than I want to spend right now.
Does the Blackjack have WiFi? I doubt I'd get the data package, so that would be huge for me.

The Blackjack does not have WiFi. I suggest you look at the specs for the phone.
I did look at the spects of the phone, and as I stated above I didn't see where it had wifi. Someone else said the main difference was that the Blackjack is a 3g phone - to me wifi is a pretty major difference so I was just trying to make sure I didn't miss it somewhere. Thanks for tring to make me feel small, though.

If it's not listed in the specs, then it's not offered. And if that's a deal breaker for you, then don't get it. How hard it that? And in what way was DubDub making you uncomfortable?
I had both and I haven't regretted switching to the BJ for a second. The 8125 is a BRICK! It was a pain to carry around, and ended up using a backup slvr or razr most of the time when I went out. It is cumbersome to dial a number on the 8125 as soft keys suck, and there is no such thing as one handed operation.
On the other hand, the BJ is one handed, has 3G (huge plus for me, it's worth it if you're in a market area), thin and light, stylish, and can do almost everything the 8125 could do.
I use the data connection a lot, but it is also my cell phone, so I needed more functionality out of that aspect. I suppose if it was my minicomputer first, and I used the phone sometimes, I would look at the 8525. However, if you're not even planning on getting a data plan, I'm assuming it will be a phone primarily with some internet/email/pda functions. If so, why not look at an alternate smartphone that has wifi?
