Like the i-mate K-JAM, it's an extremely capable device. Check it out.

Strange everyone (including this article) seem to refer to the RAM memory of the 8125 as 128M. This was Cingular's misinformation from way back. It only has 64M of SDRAM (and 128M of ROM):

people need to recheck these things on launch day, they have a habit of changing

I just got 3 of these in today, and have already changed over to the 8125 from the QTEK 9100. For one thing, it seems peppier (though time will tell), and, best of all, I can use my bluetooth headset to activate voice dial while it is in suspend mode without it hanging. Overall, I really like this device.

Can anyone confirm if this device comes unlocked? A (knowledgable) Cingular rep indicated to me the she believed none of the advanced PDA phones from Cingular come locked to Cingular SIMs. Is that true of this phone? If not, has anyone been able to unlock it yet?
