    Great Phone!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 28, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this T-Mobile SDA review helpful

    Pros: Excellent speaker, big screen, easily customizable, good camera

    Cons: memory card slot not easily accessible (behind battery)

    Over all the SDA is a great phone. Some complaints that I have are that the keys are rather small and the mini SD slot can only be accessed when the phone is off. Not very good for people who use more then one memory card. Other then that the phone i...s very easily customized, you can set your own ring tones (actual songs) and change your background with any picture. The phone is also easy to use, not complicated what so ever. Read more Less

    Great Phone for business users

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 15, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this T-Mobile SDA review helpful

    Pros: Calendar Syncing (activesync) just works… no screwing around They have excellent screens Good speaker phone Decent battery life (many days if you don’t use it, full day if used heavily with WIFI and lots of other fiddling) Charges over usb, so you can charge on any computer Automatically goes to quiet mode when you’re in meetings (optional) Good connectivity, BlueTooth, Wifi, Edge, GPRS Access to email everywhere It’s windows. I understand Windows. Lots of people know how to “tweak” things here

    Cons: Keypad too small

    Hey, You should get one of those windows mobile smart phones. These things are really super outstanding. You can get sizable discounts on amazon for new tmobile customers ($200 rebates in my case). I hardly know where to start, but here are s...ome of my favorite things: • Calendar Syncing (activesync) just works… no screwing around • They have excellent screens • Good speaker phone • Decent battery life (many days if you don’t use it, full day if used heavily with WIFI and lots of other fiddling) • Charges over usb, so you can charge on any computer • Automatically goes to quiet mode when you’re in meetings (optional) • Good connectivity, BlueTooth, Wifi, Edge, GPRS • Access to email everywhere • It’s windows.

    Great Swiss Army Knife Phone/PDA

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 18, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this T-Mobile SDA review helpful

    Pros: 99% PDA functionality in a compact phone

    Cons: Tiny Keyboard, Windows Mobile Quirks

    This is an awesome phone. It looks chunky in the pic, but it's actually pretty small. You can do almost everything on the phone that you would with your PC - music, calendar, tasks, internet explorer, full-featured contacts, camera, sync with you...r PC and more. You can connect via Bluetooth, EDGE (no 3g, alas), and Wi-Fi (either free ones or T-Mobile HotSpots). A must-have is a mini-SD card which will allow you to put more apps on the phone.. There are tons of programs are available, everything from Java games to encrypted eWallet. You can modify also modify the entire appearance of the phone (themes) or create your own. There is also a large community of Windows Mobile "tweakers" to help you customize your phone.. A few caveats- 1) This is Windows Mobile for Smartphone. It does not have Mobile Word, Excel or PDF like the Pocket PC does. You can read them, but you need to download an extra program to write them. Likewise, the Tasks program is bare-bones. I recommend Oxios ToDo. 2) It will not sync with Mac without an extra program. I found Missing Sync which is an awesome program. 3) Like most camera-phones, the image quality is pretty pathetic. 4) Windows Media Player is not quite the same sound quality as an iPod, but the "one-device" convenience factor trumps that for me. 5) Believe it or not, there's no way to close an application from within the application itself! You have to go into the Task Manager. Lame. 6) The tiny keyboard sucks. If you're a huge texter (I'm not), don't buy this phone, get the Sidekick. Read more Less

    Great Features Bad Design

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 10, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this T-Mobile SDA review helpful

    Pros: Outlook synch, 1.3 megapixel still camera & video, WiFi & MS Explorer, Bluetooth, battery life

    Cons: Buttons way too small, no paper manual, not intuitive enough, poorly placed buttons

    This phone looks great! The viewable area is nice and big and the colors are vibrant. The button arrangement is pleasantly aesthetic too. It's a respectible size for a bar-style phone, and the SDA can synch with Outlook, take pretty nice pictures... at 1.3 megapixels, and shoot some short videos either with or without sound. It's even got a space for a mini-SD card to store extra pictures or music. But "form" and "fuction" are two different beasts. Those aesthetically pleasing buttons may look nice, but they are just way too tiny. Then there's this flat rocker button that's used to navigate around the screen, but it's nearly impossible to push just right. It seems to produce one of two results: either nothing happens, or a wrong selection is chosen. Also, I was hoping this phone could replace my PDA but it falls just short of that. I love that I can synch my appointments, tasks, and contacts from Outlook -- and that alone makes it a big improvement on other phones with a simple manually-entered calendar function. The 1.3 mexapixel camera is really nice, but I find the shutter button to be poorly placed and I often end up turning on the camera or taking a picture just by picking up my phone. It comes with almost everything you need right out of the box. There's a USB cable for synching or charging your phone, a regular wall-outlet charger, an installation CD, clip-on carrying case, and stereo earbud headphones. What the box lacks is an operation manual. Yeah, sure, there's a "Getting Started Guide" but that's like using your powerful computer as a paperweight or a simple digital clock. The phone does so much, but there's no hardcopy manual to read while you learn to use all the features you bought it for in the first place! OK, there's a .pdf manual on the CD but who wants to read through almost 160 pages on their monitor? Bottom line -- was it worth the money? Yeah. Almost. This phone would be best for someone with tiny fingers or long nails who wants to spend $30 a month above and beyond their regular rate plan for full internet and Wi-Fi T-Mobile Hotspot access. I just don't need all the features it offers and find it not intuitive enough to learn how to use them anyways. Read more Less

    Compact phone with excellent features

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 12, 2006 | 2 out of 3 found this T-Mobile SDA review helpful

    Pros: Very compact and best for business

    Cons: In convenient key board

    It has everything required for a Phone and PDA. It's light weight. It got a music player, blue tooth and IR communicator. The clarity of the pictures and crisp display makes a lot of difference. It is not too large like black berries or treo.... Only inconveniece is it's keyboard. But since I don't send emails too much from my phone it just works best for my needs. I recommend this for those who doesn't send emails all the time and more than 10 instant messages/SMS messages a day. For short IMs/SMS this key board is okay. I don't think carrying a VHS cassette like phone just because it has a QERTY keyboard makes any sense. Read more Less

    Don't Buy This!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 25, 2008

    Pros: PDA phone, Windows compatible, SD card expansion, large screen

    Cons: poor quality, SD expansion slot was difficult to find and use, must buy & download windows, no support from t-mobile due to HTC contract with t-mobile

    I had this phone for less than a year and it broke down on me. I asked t-mobile to fix it but they said they couldn't because HTC wouldn't let them. I asked HTC to fix it and they said they wouldn't because they think it's water dama...ged, voiding my warranty. I asked the phone insurance to fix it, they changed their email! * the faceplace came unglued and pulled my hair out until I finally broke of the piece that was loose and taped the 2nd piece that came loose. * the phone would decide for itself when it wanted to be on meeting, airplane, normal or any other profile...causing me to miss important calls and receive loud calls when I didn't want to be disturbed. * the phone finally crapped out on me and now I can't get any of the data out of it to move to my next phone! * no one will help me and a new phone of this comprability costs 100s Read more Less

    Good entry level smart phone

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 1, 2007

    Pros: Nice screen, Media player,Syncs great,Good Camera

    Cons: Small Keypad, Center button does not work consistently, No shortcut keys

    This is a good entry level phone for those that don't fully need a smart phone.For those who really need a smart phone for business this is not the right phone.

    No downloads!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 27, 2007

    Pros: Outlook sync, MP3, camera

    Cons: poolry placed windows media button, other buttons small, no ringtone downloads

    I was excited to find a small phone that I could sync up to my Outlook, but I was bummed to get hom eand find I was stuck with the standard 5 or 6 ring tones with no downloads from T-mobile. I guess that will save me some $ though!
