Early review of T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) points out weak UMTS/3G signal reception ! July 02, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Clearly T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) is not on sale yet, but already some journalists received it for testing! The most popular in Germany magazine about mobile phones - Connect - in issue July 2006 is reviewing T-Mobile MDA Vario II which is a HTC Hermes Pocket PC phone branded by T-Mobile Europe (it will be on sale, starting July or August 2006, in Germany, UK, Netherlands and other European countries where T-Mobile is operating). Here are some highlights from this review:
To learn more about Connect magazine click here (getting subscription outside of Germany is also possible) or buy it at any respectable newsstand in Germany. * * * * * Conclusion: for some people QWERTY keyboard that can't be used with single hand is a deal-stopper, but for many others this small Pocket PC phone will be ideal and future-proof purchase! Main new feature of this phone is support for 3G - both UMTS and HSDPA - but since 3G coverage still is weak in many areas (even on the route between London city centre and Stansted airport there are problems), these problems with reception may be detrimental. The only hope is that HTC will release some software upgrades that will improve this dodgy 3G reception, but if the problem lies in hardware, it could be unresolvable.
