Upgrading to 8525

[dcdivenut]

Hey guys, I was wondering how many people would be upgrading to the 8525 from the 8125 and what sort of timeline you guys were looking at. I have been drooling over it, but it seems that a lot of the talent as far as cooking ROMS and customizing the devices resides with the 8125. As much as a love shiny new devices I also love devices that do what I like them to do, even if they are not a shiny!

I plan to get one, but not until HSDPA/UMTS is deployed in my area. The faster processor will be nice, but I can't justify dropping the clams on it for just the faster processor. Of course, who knows what may be available by the time HSDPA/UMTS gets my way (Upstate, SC).

I'd like to buy one today, but from cruising the Hermes forum, it seems as there are a lot of issues with the phone such as screen alignment, A2DP which doesn't work, etc.

I love my 8125. It works well when I flash a clean ROM but once I add all the software I like to run, it slows down too much. (I started up my old Blue Angel the other day. It has a 400 mhz processor and even though it's old and only uses GPRS, it seems quite fast).

I hear the TyTNs with a 640xx serial number have some of these issues fixed. Can anyone verify this?

Also, I'll bet the Cingular 8525 is a bit more refined and has a bunch of the bugs worked out (too bad no camera for video conferencing).

I'd like to hear what other think. I'm itching for a Hermes (TyTN) but want to get the best one.
