Ok, here is the phone I’ve been waiting for. T-Mobile’s version of the HTC Wizard – the MDA. Neat device, I was able to test this very unit back in October/November.
It has EDGE Quad-Band services which are much faster than straight GPRS bandwidth. The keyboard is a trade-off, but I was able to adapt quite quickly to it. The screen is razor sharp, bright and clear, sound quality was good, phone quality as well.
One handed operation was a little iffy – and was the source of most of my suggestions on improving the product. We’ll see if they incorporated any suggestions. The pull-mail features of Pocket Outlook were fantastic – I had it pulling mail every 15 minutes for 5 accounts. I also had a number of software packages that pulled data from the ‘Net on a regular basis as well – like weather, news and such.
Performance suffered a little with the 200MHz processor, but I think a person can adapt what they run. Overall a good phone when a person makes an effort to adapt to the device a little.
Well I’m looking forward to the release of the T-Mobile MDA & SDA in February. Just so everyone knows, Engadget has dug up pricing on the two new models and the scheduled release dates.
It seems Opera has made the beta version of their Opera 8.5 Browser available for download! Mobile Gadget News is reporting many details including support for Windows Mobile 2003 and 5.0!

Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
