    AT&T 8525 Finally Gets Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade

    The official AT&T 8525 upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 is finally here after months and months of delay. You can download and install it directly from the HTC website (as opposed to the AT&T website), but you only have from November 1 to February 1, 2008 to do so. You'll probably still be able to find the ROM online after the deadline, but you can take 25 minutes out of your schedule to update before then. Even if you're planning on ditching the phone and upgrading to its WM6-having big brother, the Tilt, you might as well upgrade your old phone now to increase its Craigslist resale value. Either that, or you can offer up your body as a bonus like everyone else on Craigslist does. [HTC - Thanks Rich!]

    AT&T and HTC Update the 8525 (Sorry, Not WM6)

    We were pretty bummed to see that AT&T and HTC America released an update for the Cingular 8525 that wasn't a Windows Mobile 6 ROM. But if you've been waiting for bug fixes (like Daylight Saving Time) along with Cingular Video, AT&T Music, Push-to-Talk and BlackBerry Connect support, this is the update for you. More »

    Unofficial Windows Mobile 6 for HTC Hermes (Cingular 8525)

    If you've got an HTC Hermes, TyTN or Cingular 8525, today's your lucky day. The guys on the XDA Dev Forums have hacked together a bunch of Windows Mobile 6 code together to make a version that works on your phone. It's very unofficial, to be sure, and is missing stuff like voice calling, PTT, Live! Mobile, Smart Dialing and Windows Mobile Update. More »

    HTC Stereo Converter

    If you've picked up an HTC Trinity, Artemis, or TyTN/Cingular 8525, you probably noticed that the only headset port is the 11-pin mini USB kind. Pretty gimpy if you want to use your Shure or your V-Moda Vibe headphones to listen to music. Brando's got the HTC stereo converter shipping December 27, which allows you to use any standard headset with your swanky new HTC phone. We're sold. – Jason Chen More »

If you're using a basic cellphone like the RAZR, we can definitely say it's worthwhile to upgrade. More »

    Frankenreview: Cingular 8525

    The Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes) smartphone is unimpressive at first glance, looking remarkably similar to its predecessor, the Cingular 8125. In a day when even Blackberries are getting cosmetic surgery and going organic, the 8525 keeps pounding Krispy Kremes and Whopper Jrs. Despite the persistent odor of onion rings and special sauce, you might just fall in love anyway. More »

    Cingular 8525 Pictures Surfaced to Mixed Reactions

    Over the weekend some pictures of Cingular's HTC Hermes knockoff hit the web over at the Brighthand.com forums. This is supposedly an upgrade from the 8125, but unfortunately it has had the front-facing camera removed, therefore making video conferencing null and void. We'll keep you posted as more info about this smartphone arises. – Travis Hudson More »
