The AnderNaut

Well it seems that we can be expecting that HTC Hermes device showing up at Cingular, the 8525, soon. Like, I’m there too, for sure. As I’ve talked about before this will be a great step up from my i-mate JAMin, and dependently the way to go for those out there with a Cingular 8125 and a look toward 3G. Couldn’t say it any short or clip it much more, so I quoted the whole thing. 

I’m just going on what he told me about the reports. But I did get to play with it for 30 minutes and was really impressed with the phone as an upgrade from the 8125 / Qtek. The phone was noticeably faster both in the software response and the internet speed. I did have time to install and try out slingplayer on the 3g network and was very impressed with the quality. It was pulling 250 kbs which gave a very good quality picture. The keyboard was nice. I haven’t used a 8125 so I don’t know what the difference is between the two keyboards, but I loved the keyboard more than on my Qtek. The additional buttons for “ok” and the start menu are very nice and makes it clear to me that HTC listens to their customers and makes improvements.
