The Cingular 8525's basic form factor is similar to earlier HTC developed QWERTY Pocket PC devices, such as the T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) and the Sprint PPC-6700 (HTC Apache). It is a 113mm x 58mm x 22mm (4.5" x 2.3" x .87") block form traditional PDA that weights 176g (6.2oz) and has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. When the keyboard is exposed, the screen is used in a landscape format. When the keyboard is hidden, the 8525's display reverts to the normal portrait mode common to most PDAs. The keyboard is made of of closely fitting, domed rectangular keys. The keys are reasonably attractive and are also easy to use. They offer good, solid tactile feedback and are easy enough to locate by sense of touch alone.
