World Of PPC Reviews The MDA Compact/HTC Magician
"The development is clear: If those were regarded to pocket PC Phone of edition devices (PPCPE) long time as niche product and supported of few manufacturers at all, the number of the devices at the end of of 2004 goes suddenly rapidly upward. With the t-mobile MDAIII and iPAQ 6340 is two PPCPE of the "old guard" available, and with the t-mobile SDA first in Germany of a carrier refugee Smartphone with Windows operating system. With the MDA Compact, which already geistert some months as "HTC Magician" by various forums and web pages, the taiwanesische manufacturer HTC now equipment sketched, which lies exactly between PPCPE and Smartphone. From the size near the SDA, of functionality with Touchscreen and dissolution completely clearly a pocket PC."
Humorous English translation (link) aside, this continues to look like a sweet device to me. Check out the pictures and see how close in size to a compact cell phone it is. :drool: Unfortunately, Andreas had trouble with its Bluetooth support -- it seems the BT headset problems that the HTC Blue Angel has is present here as well. :|

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS POCKET PC PHONE! 
:drool:
I don't think I've been this anxious about getting a new gizmo since waiting for the first iPAQ w/ wireless to come out a few years ago... 
I've already given my SMT 5600 WM Smartphone to my partner and have switched over to an old work T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition (XDA) so I can start getting back into the PocketPC world.

I placed an order w/ Expansys US last night. Their "estimated" ship date is 12/9, but after watching the SP3i issue they had, I'll be happy to get the phone before January!

it has the same bt prob as PDA2K? meaning even if this uses MS stack the problem is there? so is this a hardware related issue with the BT problems?

I haven't seen a review that talks about that problem, but most of the reviews are 'initial' reviews. That, plus only a few people have the JAM right now. I'd guess in a week or so we'd know for sure.
