    Summary: I Was the Canary in T-Mobile’s Coal Mine I began researching Blackberries a few months ago after my little Nokia phone started to fade. I was either going to have to continue to suffer through screaming “I’M SORRY. CAN YOU PLEASE ... read more

  • If someone offers you an MDA, turn your back on them!

    Jan 30, 2009
    Pros: Nice graphics, Fun games
    Cons: Freezes too much, Slow interface, Junk, Junk, Junk

    Summary: April 15, 2008 was a glorious day for me. Yes, I filed my taxes that day. More importantly, I also got a new phone, to replace the worst smartphone ever--the T-Mobile MDA. Rather than focus on how wonderful my life is now that I don't use ... read more

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 6, 2008
    Pros: Tons of features, ease of use, reliability and quality, keyboard, screen size, funtionality
    Cons: no GPS, no FM radio, no second camera for video chat, no vga screen pixelation

    Summary: Believe it or not I received this phone for free with a new plan when the phone was just being released and retailed for about 400 dollars. I will never again revert back to a typically simple cell phone, although simple and easy to use can just as well ... read more

  • Nice features, poor quality

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 7, 2007
    Pros: can go on the internet
    Cons: cheap body finish, very slow everything

    Summary: I've had this phone for about 2 years. I bought it because I had been searching for a PDA that had a touch screen, could play music, and had a camera. I bought this one because it was the one T-mobile at at the time. I didn't want a Blackberry ... read more

  • Overwhelming PPC for Basic Users, but MDA is Full of Potential

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 10, 2007
    Pros: wifi, loud, upgradeable OS ROM, touch-screen, large LCD, 128mb RAM, quick sleep mode
    Cons: weight, low microphone volume, no dedicated alphanumeric keypad, no T9

    Summary: Upgrading from a basic cell phone to a smartphone/pocket PC/PDA is an overwhelming jump. Those who are not tech-savvy will find this phone to be quite bulky and hard to use. And those who are upgrading from a previous smartphone/PDA will find this phone ... read more

  • MDA - not for the meek

    Jan 22, 2007
    Pros: Wifi, great keyboard, Outlook compatibility, bluetooth, Edge, quad band
    Cons: Slow processor, stylus needs improvement, not as easy to use as pure phone.

    Summary: Lots of people make stupid complaints about this phone. Sorta like complaining about the cup holders in a Ferrari. Really, who cares if the camera isn't high res? In a pinch it's adequate for quick low-res photos that can easily be emailed. So it isn't ... read more

    Nov 13, 2006
    Pros: Great looking unit
    Cons: No service; no customer care; no recourse

    Summary: My new T-mobile MDA, purchased in September, was only good as a phone for a month. After several calls [some with my IT guy in attendance] I got my emails. Another month later I was able to get my other outlook components. I spent about 20 hours on

    Pros: Its pretty
    Cons: Read my review! Oh yeah, the camera is a piece of crap.

    Summary: I hate this phone! It is slow. The touch screen often does not work. I have tried to contact tmobile, but I was put on hold for a long time. I went to a tmobile store, almost got satisfaction, but was waived aside for another customer and eventually
