They have got to be kidding over there. I have the 8525, and used to love it, but the web browsing sucks on it, and with 3G, it drops calls frequently when switching between 3G and EDGE. It's also bulky and frankly ugly next to the iPhone. But what isn't?
I am holding on to it because I don't think anyone will buy it given that it's $100 refurbished now, and I can use it as a Pocket PC for editing docs on-the-go.
