i have that piece of ---- too. i am on my 2nd one. its like they are selling you protoypes to test. i have never used a bigger piece of ---- phone in my life. hopefully those ******** will give me my $400 back. i have been extremely careful with it and havent installed any software at all. it locks up all the time, i have to restart it 5 times a day to make it do anything

how about an HTC/T-Mobile Wing?



i have been thinking about getting one of those...

VERY good phone

I rocked the SDA when it first came out, then upgraded to the MDA when it came out a couple weeks later. Loved the MDA but it was buggy and not as well built as the Wing.

Wing has better keyboard, microsd, better software (less buggy, more features), better camera, and spring loaded keyboard that doesn't wear out like the mda's slide. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have more system memory and still uses the same 195mhz processor as in the MDA.

HTC definitely (in my opinion) builds the best smartphones. Motorola, no. Samsung, not too bad. Try to get an HTC though.

battery life will own you with these smart phones.


I have had the Wing and Dash from Tmobile. Neither of them would last a full day on a full charge.

If you plan on using the "smart phone" for moderate usage of programs and internet surfing and such, I suggest at least another battery with a stand alone charger for that battery along with a wall charger for home, a wall charger for work, and car charger.

Uh I'd really have to disagree. My MDA and Wing both last over a day with moderate use, 2 or more days with "normal" use, and even if I use it heavily (on the internet the entire time) it'll still last 5+ hours.

Here's a few reviews to back it up:

They all say excellent, I've seen talktime tests going almost 8 hours...sooooooooooo...either you have wifi sitting on all the time, or are on a 3g network for hours, have crappy software, or a crappy battery.
