VPA Compact mini Pocket PC phone is now on sale at Vodafone Germany
April 14, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

No, it's not available yet at Vodafone UK, but it will clearly be available in UK soon too!

VPA Compact Pocket PC phone

This phone costs 199,90 Euro on "Vodafone 100" tariff or 519,90 Euro without any subscription.

Vodafone VPA Compact is based on "HTC Magician" design, that is available also under such names as T-Mobile MDA Compact, i-mate JAM or Qtek S100. While this phone doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi, it offers full Pocket PC compatibility for a price similar to prices of Microsoft Smartphones + it has abilty to connect Wi-Fi cards through SDIO card slot (the latest generations of SDIO Wi-Fi cards are much smaller and protrude much less than the older models - so you can carry your Wi-Fi card with phone without the need to take it out).

Here are some highlights about this phone - as provided by Vodafone Germany:
  • up to 180 hours of stand-by time
  • Windows Mobile 2003 (they don't mention but it is indeed Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC Phone Edition; Second Edition = with tiny icon in the home screen to switch horizontal/vertical orientations quickly)
  • 1.2 megapixel camera
  • color display with 65536 colors
  • modem with Bluetooth and USB
All in all this news story is important for Microsoft powered phones because it means that the biggest mobile operator in the world - Vodafone - is now starting to sell also mass market Pocket PC phones! .. and not just those phones that were targeting mainly business or enterprise customers like Vodafone VPA III is.
