TMobile MDA

I just got mine, and I haven't got a clue what's next. I got it on eBay and all the guy included was the phone and AC adapter, no book, no cables, no CD or box. I was able to downloaded the manual thank God.

I am trying to use a mini USB cable I have from a external HD and the PC doesn't detect the MDA. Anyone know if this is a special cable the MDA needs.

Next, cannot get the Active Sync to work, either. Maybe the cable, I guess?

And finally, I need to update the software on the MDA, and guess what. I need it to sync, and so on.

Does anyone know where I can find the MAC address for the MDA. I looked all over the place and can't figure it out. I was trying to get it to see my wireless network at home.

So much for buying this thing on the cheap!!!

Any help would be great, Thanks

Word to the wise on those Ebay purchases.

Look at Handango.com and see if you can find what you need there.

Also go to TMobile and or MDA website and download usb drivers. search for tutorials on your phone.

I did a search for you and this is what I found;
How Do I Perform a Device Upgrade? (T-Mobile MDA®)

OK, as it turned out, the USB cable I was trying to use was not compatible with the MDA. I had to order one from TMobile and then it all worked. The sync, the upgrade and all. Thanks for everyone's advice.

some advise: dont buy the cabe from a TMO Retail store! The cable is a USB Mini connector. The TMO Rtail Store charges like $20 for that cable when Radio Shack (hell even Walmart) sells a USB Mini for $8 or $9.
