Review: T-Mobile SDA



The Good: T-Mobile has long been known for pushing the boundaries of mobile technology and the SDA (Smart Digital Assistant) is no exception.  Sporting the modern Windows Mobile 5 operating system, Bluetooth, WiFi and EDGE, a 1.3 megapixel camera with a variety of enhancement options and full media support including DRM, it has everything for the mobile traveller.

The Bad: Lacking a QWERTY keyboard and with a rather cramped keypad, typing longer messages may be difficult for those with longer digits.  Adding additional memory is also a little cumbersome with the expansion slot resting underneath the battery.  Also the limitation of being able to view but not edit Word; Excel and PDF documents may be problematic for business users.

The Bottom Line: All in all this is a great offering for the modern mobile user with an ideal balance of features for both productivity and entertainment.  The long talk and standby times adds extra appeal as does the large 64MB internal ROM and RAM memory banks.
