two dif 8125s?

[shadytwin]

hello, im researching to get a 8125 and ive come across two diffrent types of 8125s. i dont know the dif other than they have dif types of keyboards. i thought maybe it was the 8100 w/o camera, but then i saw both keyboards and both were discribed with cameras... so what is the dif? i would like to get the newest version. or is it just that maybe one is a tmobile style and the other is the cingular style? one keyboard has rounded keys, and the other has a keyboard that looks like the tytn. please help!

There are two different versions, the T-Mobile MDA and the Cingular 8125. The 8125 has the Hermes-style keyboard, and the MDA has the small round keys. Same crap, different package :D

I'm surprised more People don't ask that. it seems like a dumb question but it really isn't . it really makes no sense as to why there would be two of the same exact product that look very different.

preciate it... what about the i-jam version?

[shadytwin]

so is there any dif in performance or reliability or anything? other than the button layout... also, is the cingular version the same size as the 8525? cause i know thats one bulky mofo... thanks for the answer btw.

i know im asking alot, but its a bit of money. i didnt do much research before buying a bb 7290 and just went off of word of mouth and ive ended up with a phone i absolutely hate. i mean, in general im a happy person. i dont really hate something inanimate. but this phone pisses me off 10-30 times daily. i hate it! so thats why im trying to find out what i can bout the 8125 and make sure i get the best one for me. seems like a qual phone, just need to know which version i should get. i have a cingular chip, but if the cingular version is as big as the 8525 then ill get an unlocked tmobile or whatever... anyway, i appreciate the feedback.

You can see all the differences; looks, keyboard and all that. I've never had an 8125 and 8525 side by side but it looks like they're REALLY close as far as size. The MDA version is smaller (I held mine next to a 8525). Mine has been totally reliable and the reception is insane, I can talk in elevators and in some underground buildings.

the mda might be a little smaller, but it's only because of the rounded corners. Also i perfer the look of the 8125, it looks a little more clean compared to the mda. These phones won't disapoint shady, they are know to be the best on the market. I have the mda, and not only is it a really nice phone, it provides me with hours of entertainment with rom flashing and trying to find cool new programs. its just a nice experience

the differences are the keyboard layout and one edition does not have a camera.
versions are wiza 100, 110 and 200
go to start/settings/system/device information/identity to find out which yours is. most will be wiza 200
