Is the MDA for me?
I heard about the MDA last November when I was prepared to upgrade my Blackberry 7230 to the 7290. My t-moble rep told me that it would put my Blackberry to "shame" and that I should wait until its release in 1st Quarter 06 to upgrade.
I read up about the phone here and thought it sounded great (being the gadget-head I am), but now that the date has arrived, I'm having second thoughts.
I really do not want a phone with a camera, b/c I'm in court a lot and they don't allow camera phones.

If you do a lot of typing, one thing you have to consider is the QWERTY thumb keyboard vs. typing on-screen with the stylus. Windows Mobile does a bit more in the way of attachments and editing, i.e. Word and stuff, and if you are around Wi-Fi networks a lot you will get faster internet.

I would recommend the blackberry instead as well.. If your in session alot it would be a hassle to leave the device in your vehicle.. And to top it off the MDA is going to be 100.00 if not more than the blackberry initially.. When all is said and done, you wont use the ftrs of the MDA so why pay for them?? 😎
