Oversized Antennas - Cingular 2125 & T-Mobile SDA Compar
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Cingular 2125 to take a good look at that hump that so many of you are upset about. I was also lucky enough to get my hands on a T-Mobile SDA with hump. Personally, I don't like the look. While I'm sure it offers some increased reception, I find that my i-mate SP5m does very well without the extra antenna. Regardless, the US carriers appear to be on the extra antenna kick. Take a look at the pictures below and let us know your thoughts.
Figure 1: If there is a hump size difference, it's pretty small. At least it's nothing that I could really notice. From left to right - Cingular 2125, T-Mobile SDA, i-mate SP5m.
Figure 2: The Cingular 2125 hump looks smaller because of the two-tone colour design. I think it fools your eyes and makes it look smaller, but once you hold it beside the T-Mobile, they are the same.
Figure 3: The two-tone colouring of the device combined with the gentle curve fools your eye into making you think the hump is smaller than it is.
Figure 4: The true height of the hump.
Figure 5: The T-Mobile SDA doesn't hide the hump as well. It has a more boxy look and feel.
Figure 6: Without the gentle bends that Cingular has, the T-Mobile version appears larger and has a rougher look to it.
