There's even a feature that allows you to display a large analog clock on the external display.

I can just "record a memo" to replay back to myself to recapture that idea. It's been my favorite phone ever. The Good:. Of course, make sure you have an unlimited data plan or it'll cost you a fortune). Therefore, it's simple to install additional applications. I currently do NOT use the microSD card.
There are better smartphones for entering in data. It keeps me focused on the basics the phone does and not try any elaborate software packages. 2) A phone that won't be really heavy or attract a lot of attention. 1) The microSD card is badly placed (yes we know this). 3) Be careful cleaning it. (Try that with a QWERTY keyboard).
1) A phone that will sync with Outlook. 5) Works quite well syncing with ExchangeServer, so you can keep current on the go. 3) ClearVue applications - not good. 2) Not a lot of applications available (compared to Palm). However, should it somehow become loose while it's behind your SIM card, it can have a bad affect on the quality of your calls.
What's so special about it. If you clean any part of the large hinge, and it stays wet, it can affect your phone display. I wouldn't use this phone in that way. (It's not quite so easy for BlackJack users). That can wait until I get back to the office.
3) A phone that would excel as a PHONE and have decent PDA functionality. Easy to see and use the buttons in the dark while driving. 1) Easy to use as a phone. If you're not that fortunate, then you might want to invest in a "documents to go" program for your phone - or consider a different smartphone. So, enter in the AT&T 3125. (Again, have an unlimited data plan). The Bad:.
It's okay when typing in an appointment, but typing out an email or a document would be quite slow. My favorite applications: Facade 1.4 to customize my display; Oxios ToDo List (helps with task list); SmartphoneNotes syncs Outlook Notes (not wirelessly). This is perhaps a good thing for me. 2) If you grip your phone in the wrong way, it's possible that you'll slide your battery cover off, and the phone will turn off. (Just find the "Accessories" folder and you'll find "Internet Sharing". It'll turn white with some "busy vertical lines". I hope you enjoyed my balanced review of AT&T 3125. If you do, make sure it's FIRMLY placed where it should be so it doesn't interrupt your call quality.
4) MP3 buttons on top - sometimes it can turn on without you intending to turn it on. I don't use this phone to view attachments in emails. It takes a good minute or two for it to boot back up again. Keep in mind that once it dries, it'll work just as it did before. I searched for a smaller PDA-type phone so I can have functionality, but not have a target for theft on my belt. I have my phone activate a "button lock", so it eliminates this problem.
Connect via bluetooth or USB and you're ready to go. If you just want to keep on top of things, this phone ROCKS. I frequently get good ideas while driving or other times when I don't have a pen to write down ideas. Now, what was I looking for.
1) Entering data into the device. 3) It's suprisingly easy to connect this phone to your laptop and use it as a wireless modem. The Ugly:. 6) VoiceNotes - what an ingenious application.
4) It syncs PERFECTLY with Windows Mobility Center with Vista. It's not good for reading ebooks (nor are there many available for this format). 2) Bright, clear, crisp display. Saves money too.
Hi,. I feel this is ridiculous. I bought this phone 6 months back and I feel this phone is ok. I think the speaker quality needs to be improved much better(need more sound), the micro memory card slot need to be given outside, now it is behind the sim card and also removing this card is too scary.instructions are very bad.Overall I would say is average. The cons are some times it works crazy(few hang offs), it restarts again(well I feel it is rare), the internal memory is too little and when the memory is filled, it gave me a warning to "Clear Storage", when I did that it even cleared all my contacts and I lost so many contacts. The pros are excellent battery backup, good signal reception, nice mp3 capabilities.
It's a 5 keystroke process to turn on bluetooth on the phone, then you have pair up with the headset - a 2-step process - it's a royal pain. or smash it with a rock. You can only set one alarm time. I haven't bothered with the mp3 player because I have an ipod. Lots of them and all different kinds and brands. The camera's decent.
The few good things: Solitaire game is kinda fun (but tiny). Syncing it with my pc was impossible. The keypad keys are larger than most, so you almost never hit the wrong #'s. But none of this is enough to justify the price of this pda flip phone. Reception is spotty.
I hate this phone. The battery life is short and takes forever to charge. It drops calls ALL the time (my razr almost never did). Maybe I'll run it over with my car. The font on the main screen is difficult to read because it's too small. I've had cell phones since 1994.
My main source of irritation about the 3125 is that the keypad light goes out too fast and there's no option to change it. I gave up on that. I stupidly upgraded to this annoying phone from my razr, which I loved. I have to say that this is one of the most inconvenient phones I've ever had and I can't wait to get rid of it. The phone is well-made, solid and sturdy. Same for the cool blue clock on the outside of the phone.
Internet is excrutiatingly slow. The interface is dull and unimpressive.
I use it at home, work and everywhere there is coverage (I hike a lot). To solve the themes issue, I edited the xml files. Some history: I have owned a cell phone from the days of the Motorola "brick" to the Motorola flip phone to the first Nokia candy bar phone with a Palm Pilot to the Audiovox 5600 which integrated my Palm functionality and a phone into one device. It synced great, but reception was poor. MicroSD card is under the SIM card. Bought a 3rd party case that works well ($7). I had reception everywhere - even where noone else's phone worked, but I had my Outlook contact on my Palm.
With a bluetooth keyboard you could do a lot. It is a basic mobile computer for simple tasks. Reception is great. By far, the Nokia was the best phone. I sync my phone with all of these.
I couldn't use it from my home or work. Battery life is better than the 5600. Color displays suck lots of power. Clear bright display - easy to read. I use Outlook for contacts, calendar, email, and notes. Easy menu navigation - hint: you can hit the 1-9 keys to navigate the 9 icons. Speaker phone works well.
Not as good as the Nokia or Palm which would easily last a week. Nice big tactile keys that automatically light up when needed. I also missed the protection of a flip phone. Bluetooth with a Plantronics earpiece has good range and audio works well for the listener and talker.
My biggest beef with the themes were the large icons and space taken by "advertizements" like MSN or Cingular. Pros:. Now I have the 3125 for about 2 months. Themes supplied have too much junk. Syncing is great and it is a flip phone so I can toss it in my pocket without calling some random number. You can also buy programs to modify the themes.
Easy to hear and to be heard. I used mine in China with a China Mobile SIM. 4 band phone works in all countries using GSM. I wanted a device that works as a phone first and then as a PDA.
Proprietary connector - can't use std headphones. The 3125 does both well. My old applications from 5600 work. No on-phone help - my old Nokia had menu help 10 years ago. Much improved navigation keys (left, right, up, down, enter).
hint: call Cingular and they will unlock your phone for free. Cingular staff and instruction manual don't tell you much. Reception almost as good as my analog Nokia of 10 years ago. Cons:. Voice recognition works once trained (bluetooth and phone).
I wanted one device so I got the 5600. Had to buy SmartNotes program to sync with Outlook Notes. Notes: I am a PC user (not a Microsoft fan, but surprisingly like windows mobile). I had to figure out a lot on my own.
My one grievance is the camara on it. In all, I highly recommend this phone. The call clarity is great and the menu system works very well. This phone works amazingly well in most aspects. I especially find the hot bar menu system on the start screen very convienent. The mp3 player function workds remarkably well and with a 2 gb smartchip, this think becomes a monster media device. It lags horribly when you try and take a piture that is not staying perfectly still.
