Reviews of the T-Mobile SDA
-
CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile SDA boasts a sharp, vibrant screen, as well as outstanding battery life and call quality. In addition, the Windows Mobile 5 smart phone is equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and EDGE support.
The Bad: The T-Mobile SDA's Mini SD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery, and the keypad and navigation controls are a bit cramped.
The Bottom Line: For those who want to do more on the go, the T-Mobile SDA offers a winning package of productivity tools, multimedia, and great performance. We just wish the smart phone had a better keypad layout.

Review Summary: Internally it's much the same as the C500, with the same processor and OS beavering away, although the increased memory allocation is great for storing pics and music. The big changes are visible on the outside - the screen blew us away with its clarity.

Review Summary: T-Mobile's SDA is a highly connected data device wrapped in the garb of a music phone. Yes it has dedicated music controls, but it also has WiFi, Bluetooth, and EDGE data as well. The QVGA display certainly doesn't hurt, either.
