The MoPR Blog Cam
Battle tested in the most challenging of environments (the MoPR road trip), the Cingular 8125 is the MoPR camera phone of choice. It has a 1.3 megapixel camera that was able to capture almost all the important moments of our lives, three seconds after they took place.Melissa’s takes pictures only in sepia now (on purpose).
This phone rocks! It has Windows Mobile 5.0 with Outlook, so we get all our email right off our server. Synchs our calendars and contacts. It has Word, Excel and Powerpoint. It even has Adobe Acrobat! I read my efaxes right off my email on my phone! (Yeah, they’re all spam faxes, but that’s not the point… I can read them on my phone!).
We used the speaker phone on mine for a conference call in Vancouver.
The best feature, besides the camera of course, is Bubble Breaker. Bubble Breaker is Tetris on acid. We’re all competing now for high scores.
The Cingular 8125 is made by Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC under the name “the Wizard.” (If anyone from HTC marketing is reading this blog, we love your phone and want to represent you in North America.) T-Mobile sells a version, and I’ve seen this phone all over Europe. There is a web community dedicated to it, too.
When you see pictures on this blog of any of the MoPR gang, chances are it was taken by “The Blog Cam” — our much beloved Cingular 8125 mobile phone.
