Total Mobile reviews T-Mobile MDA Vario
February 04, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Overall result of the review is 87% what is not bad. Lack of 3G (i.e. UMTS) is however mentioned as disadvantage and it slowly is becoming a problem in Europe for many Windows Mobile phones. Please note: T-Mobile MDA Vario will be sold very soon (February or March) also in USA but under name "T-Mobile MDA" simply...









Pros
  • Great screen
  • Excellent Qwerty keyboard
  • Windows Mobile 5.0
Cons
  • Below par battery life
  • Quite bulky
  • Not 3G
T-Mobile MDA Vario is available now at T-Mobile UK on contract only and T-Mobile is also selling it in a bundle with ALK CoPilot live GPS navigation software, that includes mini-SD card of 256 MB size (includes maps of UK and Ireland). Installatin of CoPilot into MDA Vario is extremely simple: one inserts mini-SD into MDA Vario, automatically installation program starts, and within minutes one can use MDA vario also for GPS navigation!

Generally this review is very positive and calls MDA Vario "the best compromise between a full-on business PDA and a mobile".

Since in UK there is no flat rate mobile Internet access and GPRS/UMTS transfers are very expensive (would you like to pay 1 dollar for 1 megabyte?) the lack of 3G/UMTS may not be such a big problem after all. Anyway: T-Mobile MDA Vario has built-in Qwerty keyboard and built-in Wi-Fi (802.11g inclusive), so it may be a perfect phone for many users.

Above mentioned review was published in issue 140 of Total Mobile - a monthly magazine available at every respectable newsstand in UK. This is an independent magazine about mobile phones and one can rely on its opinions - it is not biased.
