My assistant and I have both been using one of these for about 2 weeks now, as we are considering upgrading our "fleet" of 8125's. So far, however, we have noticed a couple of quirks that have stopped us. One of these quirks is that, quite often, although the device shows internet connectivity is active (either via GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS), we cannot open any web pages. We just keep getting the internet connection lost error in PIE. Another quirk is that bluetooth sometimes just shuts itself off all on its own. Another quirk is that sometimes it takes several presses on the activation button on my bluetooth headsets to get the phone to wake up and activate voice command. Another quirk is that sometimes the device will lock up, requiring a reset, and when reset several alarms will go off at once. Another quirk is that USB chargers which worked for the 8125 will sometimes fail to work with the 8525 (this can be fixed with a soft reset). Another quirk is that sometimes the phone will not allow me to hang up voice calls, requiring a soft reset. And yet another is that you can no longer dial phone numbers with programmed in extensions using the smartphone applcation (such as 555-5555,,,1234 or 555-5555pppp1234). I am not saying this is not a good device, but all reviews I have seen must not be taking into account real world testing, because they seem to be overflowing with praise, without mentioning the negatives. This could very well be because the tests being done are not completely comprehensive. Perhaps a real world user test would give us a more accurate view.
