Pros:
It has everything! |

Cons:
A little Bulky and Hard To Drive and Dial! 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.

Top-notch mulitasker |

Cons:
Too much stylus action for heavy phone use 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.

When a PDA and a phone collide they want to be MDA

Pros:
PDA side has everything, Phone is exactly what you want. |
|
|
|
| Cons:
After dropping it a billion times, slider doesn't work as well. 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.

Pros:
acts as a modem has all the windows features |
|
|
|
| Cons:
the phone dialing can be difficult This is a great device. It has everything from the camera to the high speed internet. I find the modem component to be a great feature. Though the phone dialing is taking some getting used to it is not as bad as people made it out to be. The camera is very clear and the screen for pictures and video is very clear. This is one very necessary device for any person on the go. This device is something that i would highly recomend to anyone. I will never go back to just a cell phone again!

Pros:
great functionality, easy to operate, cool sliding keyboard |
|
|
|
Cons:
needs a better camera and more memory 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.

Pros:
Does just about anything! |
|
|

Cons:
Needs a little more 'program' memory, skeptical about the durability I have always been a satisfied PPC user... I decided to get the device as I was tired of carrying my ipod, personal cell, PPC, and company cell in my purse (I travel ALOT).
Now, the only thing I carry is my MDA, and company cell..
This little device does just about anything. You can purchase 2 gig mini SD cards for about $40, and store MANY different programs, music, etc... Only drawback is program memory. Not a lot of it, just need to ensure that you really CLOSE all of your programs when done. I would say that was my only disappointment, as the device does not come with a program 'closer' like iTask (HP devices). Not a huge deal though. The other bummer is that my GPS is not compatable with my device... again, not a huge deal, I can figure something out. Best part was the price, after rebates, I will have only paid 50 bucks for it! If you decide to buy, search for online vendors, you may get a much better discount than if you go to Tmobile. Highly recommend this device!

Bulky & a lil Costly Tmobile hasa good thing with the MDA its one of the few SOlID Smartphone on the market. though it's a bit bulky and some users tend to have phone dailing issues. I still have to say it's a competitor within the smartphone ranks.

| Cons:
have to close files through the memory in settings, touch screen is off sometimes I've had this phone for a long time now. The phone has a couple of quick touch buttons on the outside that makes easy access. like the two main ones is internet and text which everyone uses so thats a pro. While on the internet there is no picture that you can't save to your phone even if its one of those googles that say you can't have it all you have to do is press down and hold on the touch screen and save the image. Easy connecting the bluetooth functions. The battery last for a very long time. Especially in stand by mode. Can go to the web and take some ringtones from regular sites and place them on your phone. you can active sync pics vids and ringtones to your phone. Full songs. Its the best phone out there right now.

no ringtones, to many to type I got this phone for Christmas and my goodness it was the best thing since sliced bread for me! Than....the phone stopped ringing (people would call me sitting right in front of me with full reception) and the call would go through. The speakerphone turns itself off and on whenever it pleases and sometimes it has to be on because when it is off I cannot hear ANYTHING so I have to sit there in front of people on speakerphone or call them later. I'm looking for a new phone now - something lighter and easier to use while I'm driving because I don't care what the law may be I'm texting while I'm driving and with this phone its a little harder...
