Reviews of the T-Mobile MDA
-
CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile MDA is fully stocked with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and EDGE support. It also has a 1.3-megapixel camera, Windows Mobile 5, and a Mini SD expansion slot.
The Bad: Unfortunately, the T-Mobile MDA's keypad suffers from poor backlighting and lacks dedicated numeric keys. The MDA's camera also produces so-so images, and the phone doesn't ship with a Mini SD card.
The Bottom Line: Hobbled by a poorly designed QWERTY keypad and sometimes sluggish performance, the Wi-Fi and EDGE-enabled T-Mobile MDA makes for an enticing but ultimately mediocre addition to T-Mobile's smart-phone lineup.
