I just noticed that the MDA/Wizard is no longer on the T-Mobile website. All they have is the SDA and Dash! I like the touch screen and true PDA style of the MDA. Has anyone tried a similar, and unlocked PDA style phone with T-Mobile?
There is a new version of the MDA shipping in the US "real soon now(tm)."
That is why the existing MDA was dropped.
its called the htc atlas aka tmobile wing.. comes out in 3 weeks.
There are numerous discussions on this subject over at Howard Forums, in the HTC, Windows Mobile and T-Mobile forums. Too lazy to link, just go take a look.

Anybody knows? T-Mobile doesnt carry the XDAII.
www.gsmphonesource.com
That's where I bought my phone, 750 Bones.. Currently cheaper than www.expansys-usa.com Plus it's the T-Mobile MDA II which looks better than the XDA II.. Same hardware though.

NeoCole: MDAII is not listed on the T-Mobile website (under handhelds). I also called T-Mobile and they have no idea what MDAII is. Did you bought it here in US? Thanks
MDA/XDA III
Where can I get info on the up coming XDA/MDA III?
I would like to purchase one but I can't find anything but one picture of it on a Czech website. Its great but where can I get one in the states?
Thanks,
MrBizi
The MDA III/XDA III is pure rumor and speculation at this point. It is NOT a product you can purchase yet, because it is not a product yet.
The XDA II/i-mate can be purchaed at eXpansys.com.
There is speculation that T-Mobile will carry the new iPaq 6300 PDA/Phone sometime later this year, but until I see it on their website, I won't hold my breath on that one either.
HTH!
I got mine at www.gsmphonesource.com, the company is in vegas where I live and was very helpful! Adam (the guy who owns it) even upgraded the firmware in my hbh-65 bluetooth headset to the latest version. (small fee)
I found that if you are looking for the latest GSM phones in the US then adam usually has them or can get them. I check his site regularly to see whats new, as he usually has it first. I have purchased several items from him. p800, p900, mdaII, bluespoon, hbh-60, hbh-65.
Check it out.
Hi
I'm a newbie, have checked but can't see anyone has asked this specific question before:
I'd like an xda trion but I've been told by O2 it won't be coming to the uk.
So my question is, if I got hold of an unlocked HTC Hermes or one of it's equivalents and put in my o2 3g sim - could I use all of it's features?
i.e. would this be like using a Trion but without all the O2 software etc..
Also is there a recommended model to buy? - i.e. HTC or imate etc
Thanks
Do you really need to stay with O2 ? Because the T-Mobile and other operator deals can give you a 12/18 month contract + Hermes for the same price as a device without contract.

I bought an unlocked TyTN from mobilefun.co.uk aswell as a 1GB microSD (the UltraII one). Works a charm, no rpobelsm(LOL leaving that for irony) whatsoever (apart from ones ive made hehe). Its the HTC branded TyTN but ive flashed it with the imate JASJAM ROM and used the HTC ext rom to get the standard green content etc.... (having tried the updated unnofficial HTC rom, aswell as the dopod rom). 3G works a treat and im still on my O2 online contract (sim only.....1 month rolling contract...£25 line rental...1000 txts and 1000 off-peak minutes)
O2 is pretty good for me and im ok with not having the full speed internet and settling for (around) 1mbps on 3G.
kevino - I wish I could, my current contract doesn't finish until April though.... there's no way out is there?
mrvanx - thanks for the info that's great. Think I'll look for second hand though, it's expensive isn't it.
Also I'll have to look in to all this rom update stuff to get it all sorted.
Thanks guys - very helpful.
Kenny
Kenny,
April is a long way off. I just moved to T-Mobile because of W'n'W. Depending on your usage it may be worth your while to just get a new contract anyway. You can, I believe, buy out your contract if you want to keep your number. Anyway I'm sure you'll know what's best for yourself.
Tempted by the MDA Business offer - Free Europe and USA calling on Business-1.
ButI like the Universal though it is a bit big...and SIZE does matter.
Also, the T-Mobile site say it is 300Mghz, but ohter sites like this and Buzz Lightyears say it is 400 Mghz, which is it??
So the question is:
It seems like Tmobile is replacing its Wizard Version (MDA) with a newer HTC device namely HTC Atlas.
The news seems to be true as Tmobile US has taken MDA off of its website.
More on this Here
hmm interesting.. theyve been offering me a new phone because ive already had 13 mdas.. maybe they'll offer me this next time i call into warranty.. thatd be sweet lol
Win Mobile 6 software upgrade to MDA?
Is Tmobile going to post the ROM update (WM6) on their site so we can grab that and put it onto our MDAs ???
Does anyone knows this for sure???
Thank you!

I talked to a guy from t-mobile when setting up my replacement mda to be shipped, and asked why mda wasnt on the site anymore, he told me about the new mda with wm6, but there will be no rom update for mda, just the dash.
I am really disappointed with T-Mobile...this is going to be their 4th pocket pc here in the U.S. (excuse if I am forgetting any of the others)...the HTC Atlas looks nice and all, but it's lacking the speed that Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon pocket pcs have...my friend even told me that the replacement of the vx6700, the vx6800 is come out with over 600mhz processor...I might just buy a 8525 from one of my friends that have Cingular...
Looks like it, cause i recently checked it on their site and its not showing up plus i heard about the HTC Touch Pro 2 aka WING II is making its way in its place sometime this month
lol, its not aka wing 2, its just HTC Touch Pro 2!
Well, the carriers all give the phones their own branded name. T-Mobile may wind up calling it Wing II. I have no idea.
The official release date right now is August 12th, but in the cell phone world, all dates are soft dates. The discontinuation of the Wing might be more aligned with the release of the HTC Magic (branded as "myTouch").

If you're talking about T-Mobile no longer selling the Wing, that happened a while ago...
