Pretty cool PDA/Phone
It is about the size of some of the Nokia smart phones I have seen. Seems to work pretty well.
I like small phones and although this is a lot smaller than I thought it would be it aint tiny. We will see if like it enought to keep it.
The thing is i needed a PDA and I hate carrying around both.
it has
Wifi, edge, bluetooth and runs on WM 5.0., slide out qwerty keyboard
pretty happy so far, but I have only had it for 1 day.

 

I am totally posting from my phone right now...this thing is sweeeeeet

 

I cna psot frm my phneo 2

 

ahhh...but I can do it with my roomy QUERTY kewboard

 

updates? how much do you pay a month? does that include high speed internet? im very interested in this phone.

 

very nice phone. I opted for the SDA as I wanted a phone-sized smartphone. MDA is more a PDA with phone.

Congrats.

 

gotta let me know how the phone is. thinking about getting one. likes and dislikes

 

The best phone I've ever owned. The screen is 240 x 320 pixels QVGA; easy to surf the web, and very customizable.

If you are not planning to type a lot, this is the best "phone sized" smartphone around.

GPRS/EDGE, bluetooth, W-Fi, Outlook sync.

 

I have had this thing for almost a month now. it is great. I have an old tzones account for 5 bucks a month. It isnt the fastest, but fast enogh. I am always using this thing. It is great.

 

hahaha. I like reapting what I say. I guess that means i like this thing. It is great.

 

I just got the srint pocket pc 6700, which is better than the MDA. I did a lot of research and testing of both, but the pocket pc was beter. It's more powerful, has more memory and the wireless network that sprint and verizon are on rival my companies basic dsl speed. Also the build of the phone is much better than the tmobile phone. And watching movies on the phone is a better experience for me. My friend and i both have 2 gig cards and movies on his phone are jumpy and lose sync, while my PPC maintains frame rates and sync perfectly. The MDA is a great unit though, and it would have served my purposes equally as well. But, the Tmobile Edge network doesnt touch the EVDO network of the other guys.

 

I am getting an MDA (in the mail) and I am pumped.....

 

i also got the sda on 100 upgrade after rebate

 

Lets hear

pros & cons about this phone... I'm interested in a PDA phone... I looked at the reviews for this phone on cnet, but they said the software is a little slow and the keyboard is not well lit.


I'm in the market cause my Treo 650 is getting old..but performs remarkable

 

Pocket PC 6700, you wont be dissapointed.

 

Stupid question but do you have to pay for a service in order to browse the web via wifi?

Im thinking of moving from my moto A630 to the SDA.

 

No. You do not need any internet package to use Wi-Fi.

As a note, I believe you can even get the phone free after rebate at amazon.com with new service. NO internet connection required.

 

So can I go to any area that has wifi like starbucks and browse the web?

 

this thing is great!!
i have been logging onto wifi everywhere...in NYC i was using signals that i picked up from other people apartments!!!


and the the data speeds on the EDGE thing are just fine!

 

fawk it. I want it now.

i was thinking of getting a dell PDA with wifi instead of dragging my laptop everywhere but this will do me just fine.

SDA or MDA?

 

if you are gonna use the keyboard a lot, go with the MDA.

 

I called Tmobile and told them i was gonan switch to verizon.

They offered me the SDA or MDA for $199 without rebates. Should i do it? If so... which one.

also they said to use the wifi its like $25 extra a month for the service.

 

I looked at the SDA....screen is too small to really surf.
MDA met my needs perfectly. Big screen..can run aps.. great for surfing
I love logging on while in the car and downloading directions from wherever I am. That is fucking great!

 

Yea problem is the size of it. I dont want to carry it around in my pocket in fear of breaking the screen on somthing.

 

False advertising. Wi-Fi works WITHOUT any internet package. They are missleading as they try to sell you the hot-spot package, which will allow you the use of Wi-Fi on any place that has T-mobile Hotspots. But the truth is, the SDA or MDA will connect to any open router, or to any secured router assuming you got the passphrase.

That's why I got the SDA. But if they are offering you the MDA or SDA for the same price, the MDA is a no brainer, as the price difference is around $150 if not more.

 

Ok i just ordered the MDA for $199.

Now do i keep it or sell it on ebay for $300

 

^^ The fun just starts. Expect to run many applications for Windows Mobile 5. Check the MDA forum at howardforums.com.

 

How does the MDA differ from the Sidekick. I'm not looking for a phone REPLACEMENT, but like, a compliment to my phone. My problem with PDA's is lack of an attatched keyboard, lack of AIM/SMS, etc. I've already got T-mobile service and i'm pretty sure they let you get a Sidekick/possibly an MDA to your current service plan with their data plan. What are your thoughts?
