Internet
The Cingular 8125 has both EDGE and WIFI. The built in pocket Internet Explorer works amazing over WIFI. When you have the keyboard out the screen is in landscape mode, which makes it a lot easier and more practical to view webpage’s. Another good feature about the built in WIFI is that it is very fast, and almost feels like you are surfing the web on your laptop or home computer.

If you do not like the restrictions of pocket Internet Explorer, there are many other internet browsers as well. Opera is an excellent web browser because it has many more features than internet explorer but on the other hand, it does cost money while internet explorer is free and comes pre-installed.

Storage
The Cingular 8125 has 64 Mb Ram and 128 Mb Rom. Although the 8125 has the exact same specs as the T-Mobile MDA, the amount of available memory is different. It seems for some reason that the Cingular 8125 has almost 10 Mb of extra space compared to the MDA. It might be because the OS is a little smaller in size or it might be because the Cingular 8125 has less preinstalled Data.  

Connectivity
The 8125 has both EDGE and WIFI built in. In my opinion WIFI and EDGE both have their pros and cons, and sometimes it is better to use one over the other. But overall it’s great to have both features handy. The 8125 also has Bluetooth connectivity which allows you to connect a headset or sync with Active Sync wirelessly.

Although you cannot send files via Bluetooth, you can download an excellent file explorer called Resco Explorer to enable Bluetooth file transfer. The 8125 also has infrared built in so you can easily send info with another infrared device quickly and all wirelessly.
