Infosyncworld.com reviewed the new Cingular 3125 (aka HTC Star Trek). Here is what they concluded:
What’s positive:
Rich, clean screen. Lots of included functionality with Windows Mobile, especially on such a small, thin phone. Looks great.

What’s negative:
Not for power users who need to edit documents. Buttons are a little stiff and very flat, which makes navigating just a bit difficult.

Conclusion:
Overall, the Cingular 3125 makes for a powerful business sidekick given that it’s a relatively compact clamshell. Armed with Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition, the 3125 packs in push e-mail capabilities, an Office document viewer (no editing, but this is a flip-phone after all), robust contact and calendar management, and surprisingly impressive multimedia capabilities. The 3125’s design is certainly unique, but never feels cheap or simply cosmetic. If you wish your RAZR could do a lot more, but don’t need a full-fledged Windows Mobile device, the 3125 is an excellent choice.
