Thanks TJ - and congrats. I still love the 8525, even though it doesn’t get as much use now that an iPhone is my main device.

Excellent review..influenced me enough to go buy a 8525 today. Upgraded it to WM6. I’m a happy camper.

@ bustabo - I think that is going to depend on how much you loved the Blackberry OS. Personally I think you’ll love the 8525 compared to the 7250… completely different classes of device IMHO.

i was wondering if the 8525 has the same “3-D Speakerphone” as the 8125. i really am think of getting this phone, but i love the speakers on the 8125.

Nice. My stylus on my second (purchased, not review) unit has been easier to get in and out from Day 1.

After about the 4th day of owning my 8525, I found I suddenly could barely get the stylus out anymore, and it wouldn’t push back in either. It was literally almost completely stuck halfway in and out. I thought for sure something had gotten in there. Come to find out, there’s a tiny square piece of rubber-like plastic up inside there that keeps the stylus in there really good. Well, on day 4 or so, it decided it wanted to come out. It finally came out after I pulled the stylus out (had to pull pretty hard). Now my stylus is easy to get in and out, and it doesn’t appear to have affected its use in any way, it only seems to have helped with the stylus difficulty issue!

Nowire - can’t do it - not after hearing about your endangerment and mistreatment of that super-cool Dash of yours …

Ah… Great review Patrick!

Now make sure that you pack it nicely, and mail it to me ASAP. Thanks.

Thanks Netsyd.

Case = yes, sometimes using the leather ‘puch’ type case that I had for the 8125.

Great little read Patrick. Sounds like you really love that device, especially since I know you were waiting a while for it. I find that when I wait a long time for something I build up expectations of perfection and they never meet that — I’m glad the 8525 has for you!

Out of curiosity - are you using an 8125 case for it until some 8525 cases are available?
