T-Mobile Germany Announces MDA IV - Phone With 3G and VGA
News sites are positively buzzing today about T-Mobile Germany's announcement (English translation here) of a new Pocket PC phone -- that not only has UMTS 3G support and a VGA screen, but also has a flip+swivel design, exposing a wide thumbboard. Arne, over at PPCW.Net, has found a nice large picture of the device, which I've taken the liberty of brightening up slightly:
Other features include WLAN, Bluetooth, triband GSM/GPRS, a 520MHz XScale processor, and 2 cameras (8O) to help support video telephony. I've got two emotions: :drool: as this is the Pocket PC I want (bye-bye MPx!) and :cry: as T-Mobile US will probably never carry it (as it stands, their UMTS network is delayed). Hey, Cingular, are you thinking of carrying this device (at least, a version with 850)? It would be a perfect unit to showcase your new UMTS network! Are you listening?  Availability in Germany is slated for this summer. (More pictures and information can be found at the German sites pocketland.de, PocketCenter.de and Heise.de; as for English sites, see msmobiles.com and Mozongo.com.)

This is LOVE pure and rare! I wonder why this never showed up at CES, perhaps it just goest to show that Europe cares little about the NA market if at all. Way to go, I want one so bad!

I think this is what we have all been waiting for, simply briliant, although a year or two late in coming. 8)

If it runs WM 2005 and has ample memory we're looking at THE device. Now what more can we want?

Wow... the ultimate device... it would be a miracle. Sounds like I can scratch the mpx off my wishlist.

The real question is HOW MUCH? I'm thinking it would be $700-900
