Cingular's recently launched Parental Controls feature provides content and purchase blockers on phones so parents can restrict access to content that may be inappropriate for younger viewers.

Cingular's MEdia Net connection settings (proxy) can cause problems using Internet Explorer over WiFi which means you have to twiddle with connection settings. Not the right device for speed demons and those who want to play videos encoded at high bitrates (or larger than QVGA resolution) or run game emulators. Make sure you don't have more than 5 running programs or the phone will slow down (get a task manager to make exiting apps easier). Not a one-handed device (unless you want to do some hacking to change button assignments, a la Smartskey).

Cingular constantly tries to achieve something new in its endeavors. With a keen look at the market, it is forever trying to figure out the kind of products that appeal to the target consumer age group. Adolescents and young adults remain the key consumers for Cingular. The company has launched a set of video ringtones in view of this age group which is becoming increasingly techno-savvy. This consumer group has a very short attention span and does not hold its loyalty to any one company or brand unless it is offered something new each time. Cingular understands this psychology of its young customers and works accordingly.

The Cingular 8525 phone is powered by the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, which is very similar to those used by PC and laptop owners. For example, mobile versions of Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, and Outlook are all available for users on the go. The Media Player can play MP3s and audio files of various formats, and is capable of video files as well. The Internet Explorer function is perfect for fast net surfing, and Outlook is a perfect place to check email. Direct-Push technology makes it possible so that all these systems interact with the phone so that e-mail, calendar, tasks and contacts are seamlessly updated.

Cingular users who picked up a Palm Treo 750 will be glad to know that the phone runs Windows Mobile 6 with very little trouble. Ciccone over at Mobility Today got his hands on an engineering sample from HTC and made this video of the phone using WM6 instead of WM5. more
