Only the front camera is missing. Otherwise, it's all Hermes.

Though there'll be a camera-less version, no doubt.]]>Aug 20th 2006 11:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 1:16AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 1:17AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 7:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 8:41AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 10:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 1:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 21st 2006 1:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/
I've got the Tytn and I have had 0 problems with the phone part of the device. i talked to my brother on the speakerphone and he said it was the clearest speakerphone he'd ever heard from a cellular device. And mind you, i didn't have the phone held up to my face. the phone was on the coffee table while i was sitting on the couch talking at a normal volume. he had no problem hearing me, and i had no problem hearing him. not much more i could for from a speakerphone.

I've had a very good signal everywhere i have been. no problem with the signal dropping for no apparent reason. UMTS drops out every once in a while, but i would blame that on Cingular fiddling with the network.

Volume wise, no complaints here. Then again, i don't have iPod headphones jammed into my ears 24/7, so my hearing is still pretty good.

Bluetooth signal quality has also been good for me. i mostly use BT in my apartment which has been notorious for interference. on my mpx220, i couldn't really wander into other rooms of my apartment. with the Tytn, i can roam around the apartment with a lot less problems. Can't say it's perfect, but a lot better than my last phone.

battery life is surprisingly good. let's face it, if you constantly watch videos or listen to music, you'll probably have to charge it every night. with my usage patterns, after about 2 full days of use, the battery meter shows 60% remaining.

as my first pocket pc device, i gotta say...i love this thing!!]]>Aug 21st 2006 2:04PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Shame on Cingular.]]>Aug 21st 2006 5:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Aug 22nd 2006 12:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Sep 5th 2006 11:38AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/
http://berrybusyblog.com/2006/cingular-8525-review]]>Nov 7th 2006 5:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/Comming from a treo 650 I had to realize I've lived with a few problems that some developers solved for us like the volume and sound quality(an update fixed that), volumecare resolved the volume on the 650, just to metion a couple.
Now the 8525 has some of the same issue. I could hear people okay in my car or in my house or office, but the second I go out on the street or in a parking lot wow, I find myself saying "what" a lot and it appears that the issue is the same or worse with bluetooth headsets (I got one on order and should be able to comment on it shortly). I'm anticipating that a volume control Hack/program/update will be needed to make this excellent phone workable. Now the search is for those programs that make the program shine.]]>Dec 20th 2006 7:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/This is my first PDA and I was really disappointed. The signal reception is really bad and the call drops at least once when anyone calls me. I never had any call dropped when I was using the moto razor. I was so excited when I bought this pda now I wish I had not wasted 500$ on this stupid piece when it cannot perform as simplest of the tasks as making a call without any problems. :-((
I checked with cingular and their network is not the problem. and thats true..it can't be cause my moto razor shows me full signal in the same area. ]]>Feb 6th 2007 10:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/08/20/cingular-8525-htc-hermes-renderings-leaked/
You need to upgrade our Radio to the one that works for your area. The Stock radio included in the 8525 does not necessarily work great on all areas of CING/ATT coverage.]]>Jun 17th 2007 5:37PM
