New 8525

[jongscx]

Ugh... most people impulse-buy clothes... or food...

I am now sitting on a $200 Cingular 8525, so I guess I have a few questions.

1)Is there a good ruggedizeing case that will work with an extended battery? or should I just buy another normal battery and swap them out every so often?

2)Does it have USB Host capabilities, through hardward hacking or otherwise? I'm handy with a soldering iron... not so much with circuit diagrams and pinouts (yet...)

3)Does it have BT 2.0, aka can I run more than 1 BT device on it at once? Can it handle such a load?

4)Pinouts? I know it doesn't have many ports, but are there pinouts to these? are there circuit diagrams of the inside, if I wanted to add my own?

cool beans, thanks

At BoxWave, they have something similar to what you're looking for.

I have never used it, so you might want to research it around first.

2, I have no idea. 3. SUPPOSE to, so you just have to try it to find out

how did you get it for $200??
