Default MDA vs. SDA: T-Mo Showdown

http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/23/...s-t-mobile-sda/

"You know it's a good day when the FedEx guy shows up and drops off an SDA and an MDA, both of which are due out here in the States from T-Mobile real, real soon. Click on for some hands-on pics of each."



A plethora of pictures from Engadget! If you're not too sick of MDA & SDA news of late, check out the side-by-sides and info they have to offer. Of course, they include a picture of that famous hump!

By the time they release this HTC will come out with a few other models. I will hold off and wait for HTC Hermes or maybe something else with a decent CPU. I would rather have smaller talk/standby time than heave a 200MHZ CPU.

First thing that comes to mind is watch decent quality movies or play mp3s and browse the web at the same time. From what I understand Wizard can handle one of these at a time more or less but not all at once as I am used to on my HX 4705.

I could listen to music in TCPMP on my Wizard while web browsing.

Don't know why you would want to watch a movie while web surfing though. Kinda takes the watch out of it :P

With the question marks still remaining on the RIM vs. NTP patents issues still up in the air, I really hope that T-mo is going to offer MDA/SDA as a replacement/competitor to the Blackberry(currently using a 7290 on T-mo)

Personally, with the RIM/NTP issues, I am getting out of the Blackberry wether or not the service is going to be shut down or not. I just don't have a good feeling about it anymore.

I just hope that T-mo has put some thought into to these devices enabling them to get unlimited e-mail(with in a reasonable time), IM, and data like my current Blackberry plan.

We all know this is possible with just a data connection, T-mo just needs to be forward thinking about these devices.

If T-mo would create a hosted exchange service like www.4smartphone.com allowing push e-mail, contacts, and calendar( tasks is coming, IIRC), market the fact that the Pocket PC has more software available for it, I believe that you would be able to convert many Blackberry users.
