The Cingular 3125 proves that you can have your sexy, slim flip phone and get it with brains too. The 3125 is the most recent variant of the HTC STRTrk (Star Trek, in full-voweled English) which appeared several months ago overseas as the QTEK 8500 and i-mate Smartflip. While the QTEK had reception issues, the Cingular has none of those and improves on the previous models by doubling flash memory and increasing battery capacity by 50%."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060925-3125Review.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Is that a hump on your back, or do you actually have a larger battery? The answer of course, is the larger battery. ;) Oh, and more memory too. The hump we've seen on previous operator branded Smartphones has been to improve reception. However, in this case, it's actually to hold a larger battery. The hot new Cingular 3125 is making waves at review sites around the net. MobileTechReview has spent some time with the device and written a pretty lengthy review. I know a couple of our staff have already picked up the 3125. So you'll be seeing some posting on it from us soon enough. :D

My local Cingular "store" does not have the 3125 in stock so I can't get a look at the phone. When an alarm goes off from within Outlook is there any indication on the outside display of the alarm? Is there detail or do I have to open the flip for that?

I have not seen this mentioned on any review.

I will try to get a picture of it but what it shows is a small calendar with the time range of your appointment and gives you the option of dismis or snooze. In order to see the details like what it is you have to open it up.

I just got the 3125 a few days ago. But I fear I got it too close to my TyTN. I can't decide which one to use half the time. :crazyeyes:

The hump, btw, is barely noticeable.
