GSM, to be used on Cingular

Would prefer touchscreen w/ keypad (slide out keypad like 8525 is good, is there one w/ numbers on the keypad too, besides the VOX?)

Doesn't have to be unlocked.... work is paying for it.

Must have at least EDGE, but UTMS/HSDPA would be nice for 3G.

Need push email.

Currently leaning towards the 8525 (not sure how my work is on getting unlocked phones from a place besides Cingular)... but I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks!
 
Do you need a phone immediately, or can you wait? There's the HTC S730, which comes with WM6 and has the sliding keyboard and keypad on the front, just like the S710. No touchscreen though. There's also the HTC P4550 Kaiser, which is the upgrade to the TyTN 4500. However, both are scheduled to be released by June/July 2007. I've also read that ATT/Cingular would pick up the Kaiser later down the road. If you need it right now, I would just go with the 8525. Then perhaps if you need to upgrade, you can get the Kaiser later on. I still like my 8525, and I'll hold on to it until I'm eligible for upgrade, and hopefully the Kaiser will be available by then.

You can check out other models on sites like PDAdb.net and such.
 
The Kaiser looks nice, but I don't like the green writing on the keys. I doubt I need a phone w/ a tiltable face like that, but it would be somewhat nice.

I'd prefer the touchscreen due to the fact that I'll be accessing my company's database through it, and it'd be much easier to get through the database w/ the touchscreen due to the program used for it.

I still have to get approval from my boss to get the phone anyways, so I'm not in a huge rush. Finally not having to pay for my monthly bill will be worth it though!

Thanks for the link!
