thoughts on the MDApro

After nearly a month with the MDApro from T-mobile some plus and minus points: + hardware (VGA screen, backlit keyboard, mini USB for syncing AND charging, 3,5mm audio port, reset hole on the outside, cameras...) + UMTS (EU/Asia), GPRS (900/1800/1900), WLAN (IEEE802.11b), Bluetooth - no EDGE (this is a big minus, as UMTS coverage is still quite spotty!) - no UMTS on US frequencies, no 850MHz support - no HSDPA, now that we finally have HSDPA, my portable device doesn´t support it - Windows Mobile 5, no Mac syncing yet, neither MissingSync nor PocketMac, unfortunately you can´t move a few thousand addresses via Bluetooth as one .vcf file to the MDApro - Pocket Outlook: no way to select more than one email, so if you want to delete a dozen junk mails, you have to delete every one of them! - Pocket Internet Explorer: no way to save a page, no tabbed browsing - SIM locked for T-mobile, but there are workarounds

All in all, I would say: the first mobile device, worth to be criticized. Compared to the HTC Universal/MDApro no portable communication device comes even close! Highly recommended!
