Free AT&T 8525 Pocket PCs for Microsofties

The price just doesn’t get better than free, especially when the device is this awesome. I just picked up a couple of AT&T 8525 Mobile Devices for myself and my son. My husband and daughter are still deciding if they want the extra weight in their pockets. It is a little bulky for those who are only interested in making phone calls.

 

You do have to sign up for the two year data plan but it’s heavily discounted for MS employees. Unlike the iPhone, this one is 3G-enabled. It’s running Windows Mobile 5.0 now but you’ll be able to upgrade to 6.0 in the next couple of months. Check out the Satisfy Me blog post on this device or CNET’s (8 out of 10) review.
