Looking into the MDA...

I'm looking for a "smartphone" that will help me more with my scheduling or lack there of if you will. I'd like to get some first hand opinions of MDA users because so far that seems like the phone I'm leaning towards. I'd like to get some info on the internet (speed, etc.), battery life, etc. Just want to get all my info straight before I pay the 300 bucks to get the phone. I would really appreciate it!

The internet on the MDA is really good. Displays full webpages quite nicely and the speed for EDGE/GPRS is pretty fast. I get an average speed of 115 kbps, a peak of 174 kbps and low of 55 kbps in Dallas.

Battery life is effected by many factors. How much you talk on the phone, use the internet, camera, bluetooth, etc. I use a bluetooth headset at all times, internet for maybe around 15-20 min. and talk on the phone maybe 1-2 hours every day. My battery will go through 2 days without charging easy.

Definitely recommend this phone!

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I had been looking into the SK3 as well, but I had heard that the battery life is almost nonexistant and it had features that I just wasn't going to use so it seemed pointless to pay $300+ for things that I wouldn't use. But thanks again for your help!

This for the SK users, i heard people find the SK2 better than the SK3, is that true?

That's what I've heard from the people who have had both...Too bad because the new one looks better

Sidekick 3 is limited what you can do on the phone.

For example, you can not use Sidekick 3 as a modem for your laptop computer. The MDA can be used as a modem for your laptop computer.

Compare both phones to see which one you like better.

I haven't heard about that. I actually tried out the Sidekick 3.

It definitely improve the way you browse the Internet. There's less problems with it than the Sidekick 2.

the sidekick 3 is garbage! i sent that phone back within in 2 days! you cant send nothing via bluetooth only contact info! you cant get your own ringers you have to purchase them from tmobile! you cant send pics in picture messages only threw email! the phone is useless! no videos! its garbage! thats what i told tmobile! the mda is sick as ****! video! i send ringers videos pics bluetooth! pic messages! althoug the battery sucks for me. the reception is garbage in most places it seems cause my girl has the razr and she has rec where i dont have it. but i mean you can do anything with this phone! hands down its the sickest!
