You just first "eject" the card from the menu, open the back cover and take out the card. Much better than the Sp3i which did involved me taking out the back covers.

My 8125 got left in the rental car a week ago and I just got the E62 as a replacement. While I grumbled about the 8125, I now miss it. E62 pros: * Beautiful screen * Perfect Bluetooth * Better address book E62 cons: * Horrible signal problems. I'm right by a tower at work and the signal keeps dropping to 1-2 bars. At home, I can barely talk on the phone the signal constantly moves between 5 and 0 and drops me constantly. This is a critical problem for me and may necessitate a new phone soon. * Slow (the 8125 wasn't exactly a speed demon though) * Not very customizable * Too many key presses to get where you want. It should be smarter. * And others (like not autofilling a contact's name when making a txt msg). I think it’s interesting you like the E62 better than the 8125.

If can’t wait for the 8525 with its HSDPA enlightenment, then the Nokia E62 is undoubtedly the way to go. The E62 is available now for $149.99 with a two year contract and the BH-800 Bluetooth headset can be had for about $120.

I live outside of Princeton, NJ and I have a Cingular 8125. Over the past few weeks I have been thisclose to going to a Cingular store to trade in the SIM, thinking there had to be something wrong. It has been terribly slow, often going completely offline (icon is two arrows with an 'x' meaning there is no GPRS or EDGE at all). I spent the last two days in Columbia, SC and it was so much better. I could have sworn I was connected to a hotspot. Smooth, fast, continuous connections that I never see here. And New York city is the worst for EDGE, in my experience. When it works, which isn't every time, it's passable but nothing outstanding. My connections in South Carolina were outstanding.

On my e61 I get about 500kbs... blazing compared to my Treo 650. How slow is the EDGE connection you are getting? On my e61 I get about 500kbs… blazing compared to my Treo 650.
