Introducing the first Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone flip in the U.S., The Cingular 3125. With the 3125 smartphone, you get EDGE data speeds, and GSM quad-band support, while the Windows Mobile 5.0 (non-touch screen version) operating system lets you quickly access your real time corporate and personal email accounts. Other features include Windows Media Player 10, Bluetooth connectivity, 64 MB RAM, 128 MB flash ROM, a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recorder, direct push for email, and more. Packaged in a stylish black clamshell design, the super slim 3125 is the ultimate mobile workhorse, and the perfect complement to Cingular wireless service. Design
The 3125 design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with its impressive smartphone and data capabilities while maintaining a stylish and cool exterior. A large 240 x 320 color display with over 65,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 128 x 128 full-color display that can display pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. There's even a feature that allows you to display a large analog clock on the external display. Convenient music player control buttons reside just below the external screen, and the 1.3-megapixel camera lens is housed above this display while most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. A USB data port is provided, as is a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot. Lastly, the internal antenna is safely tucked away, keeping the phone's design compact and portable.
Calling Features
The 3125 has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect from a high-end handset. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Speaker independent voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names, while the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible. A ringer and picture ID system makes it easy to identify your most common callers. Lastly, the phonebook capacity is only limited to available memory.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Meet both your global business and personal communications and productivity needs with the 3125's superior, high-speed email and Web browsing experience all wrapped in a slim and stylish package. Quickly access your corporate and personal email in real-time with built-in applications like Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile and Microsoft Direct Push, Good Mobile Messaging from Good Technology, Cingular Xpress Mail, and Internet email (including MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL, etc.) at your fingertips. Outlook Mobile features integrated calendar and email functions, as well as a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too. Lastly, rich Internet browsing is available with the included Internet Explorer browser.
Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via Bluetooth or USB).
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 3125, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile text messaging users.
Imaging and Entertainment
In addition to the 1.3-megapixel still camera, the 3125 is capable of recording video clips to its built-in memory, or to a memory expansion card. The inclusion of Windows Media Player on the 3125 opens up a whole range of possibilities for this phone. Use it as a digital music player, or sync the device with Windows Media Player on your PC to download last night's TV shows so you can watch them whenever you want, or watch streaming content from the Web.
With EDGE support built right into the 3125, you'll be downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. And because the phone is media capable, i.e., fully compatible with Cingular music, MEdia Net, and Cingular mail, you'll never be at a loss for something fun to do.
With features like stereo Bluetooth headphone capability, and support for Java based applications and games, the 3125 shines in the entertainment department. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced music player, and because the 3125 sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately).
