I have Cingular's version of it, the 8125. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. As for storage space, I do have a 2 gig mini sd card in it, so that solves any issues about space. I did do a firmware update on it recently because supposedly the firmware that came with the phone was burning out my sim card (many a times the phone shut down saying that the sim is invalid or missing). Since the update, no problems at all. I got the info for the firmware update from Cingular when calling tech support. I have the link for the update at work, if you want it...

I have this phone and love it. You have to be familar with all the custom ROMs out there because the T-Mobile ROM sucks. You can find all kinds of hacks, mods, and tricks for the phone at www.howardforums.com

I am really familar with the phone so if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

I purchased it off the internet. You should be able to search Google and find it.

You can also download PocketTV which is free to view videos under other video formats.

How did you manage that on Windows Movie Maker? It does not give me a option to set it as PDA just 4:3 and 16:9.

I've upgraded the ROM on my ebay Tmobile so many times to custom built ones. They're the shiz! I'm not sure if this is allowed but [EDIT]

Nope, not allowed, sorry.
