Cell Phones : T-Mobile MDA Vario

All in all TMOBILE has a winner with this phone a must for any tech savy geek who needs the net 24/7 or use the Wifi to access any Windows 2000/2003/XP terminal server. It has pocket office which syncs up fairly well with ActiveSync software provided with the phone.



The only negative thing I can say is that the dialing keypad can be a challenge if you are driving and need to make a call.



Out of the box with Windows mobile 5.0, Outlook2002 and all cabling needed!



TMOBILE MDA gets a 5 out of 5 starts in my book. Hide Full Review

I purchased the T-Mobile MDA and I just have to say it is GREAT. The phone contains Windows Mobile so it also works as a PDA so it can be used as a navigation system, music player, personal planner, and much much more.

The screen resolution is sharp and crisp and the touch screen is easy to maneuver with the stylus or just with your fingers. Connectivity with Bluetooth earpieces is effortless. A feature the phone has that is very good even though I don't use it, is the customizable button configuration. The retractable keyboard is also very nice and gives the phone a cool feel aswell. The keyboard has decent lighting and nicely spaced characters, this makes texting and IMing a breeze.



The down side to this phone is its minimal memory of 47.46MB, which is really pathetic but that is what mini SD cards are for so it isn't so bad. Another thing is the 1.3 megapixel camera. The quality isn't very good but this is a PDA phone not a camera if you are looking for pictures with awesome quality then get a 5 megapixel camera if you don't care (with this phone you really shouldn't) then you are just fine.



In conclusion this phone really does raise the bar for the American Market of Smartphones, it gives Americans a look into real function filled devices instead of those wretched Sidekicks and Blackberrys. Hide Full Review

I've dropped this phone on concrete so much, and it still works perfectly. I have many friends with phones like this but they can't compare them. Its a great phone. My biggest complaint is that the phone dial screen is plain and boring. Another complaint is I can't get the screen any lower, not for battery use just because its so bright. The battery is amazing. Lasts me about 3-4 days and I send and receive about 200 to 300 text messages and are on the phone for about 100 minutes a day at least using my blue tooth headset. But just what I expected in this phone. Amazing. Couldn't have done better. Hide Full Review

I've been using this phone as my primary phone for the past few months. It's an awesome smart phone. Some things I've done with it -



-synced my office Outlook and Yahoo email

-surfed the internet with IE mobile via high speed wi-fi at a t-mobile hotspot

-moved all my contacts onto my phone with pics and full address info, im names, and much more.

-played .mp3s from a 2gb storage card via Windows Media player



In other words, this is a full-fledged pocket PC that also makes phone calls. That's perfect for me but if you're just looking for a cool phone/text messager you might consider the cheaper Sidekick.



Also, being a Windows device, there were inevitably some frustrating moments, like...



-to put any programs on the phone, you have to first download to your PC and use active sync. Lame.

-the video playback of even the tiniest clips on this phone is often jerky. So much for pocket porn.

-the camera sucks big time. Worthless except for the smallest resolutions. Hide Full Review
