Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 T-Mobile's WiFi-less Excalibur based MDA Mail is now displaying on their website! The thin QWERTY equipped Smartphone has been around a while now both as the HTC S620 and T-Mobile MDA Dash (in the USA), but the T-Mobile release follows hot on the heels of the Orange release as the SPV E600. Where Orange opted to retain the WiFi functionality however, T-Mobile have specified a non-WiFi version (much as they did with the MDA Compact III). Nonetheless, it's a great device, that comes highly recommended by yours truly (despite the rather questionable 'JoggR' control method). Basic specs are as follows: - Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone (T-Mobile USA are releasing a WM6 update, no such info from T-Mobile UK as yet) - 200MHz TI OMAP Processor - GPRS / EDGE connectivity + Quad Band - QWERTY keyboard - JoggR - Quad-band - 116mm x 63mm x 13mm - 130g - 5 hour talk / 218 hour standby (claimed) As well as visiting the product page, if you're a current or prospective owner you should check out http://Excalibur.MoDaCo.com - your dedicated area for Excalibur devices.

I've been wanting the dash for ages, and i'm just at the end of my contract with Orange ;) Wow, i had no idea. :D --Edit: Never mind, i see the post now! :( -Raz Edited March 9, 2007 by RazorD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lextre Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Prospective buyers of this device from T-Mobile should note that it does NOT have a 2 mega pixel camera as stated in the specifications on the link in the original post. It does of course have a 1.3 mega pixel camera as per all the other flavours of the HTC s620. Also note that I ordered one by telephone and got a much better deal than those advertised on the T-Mob site. Push hard and you will most likely get the MDA for no cost, even on the most basic package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrcoyote Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 It's not business users only as I picked mine up from the local t-mobile store yesterday. It was the first one they'd sold so they weren't too clued up on it tbh, but they let me have a play and eventually I chose it over the SE M600i. All for free and a £5pm discount on my tariff as well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacerace Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm really surprised they've pulled WiFi on this one. I thought we'd got past that sort of thing now. I've had the S620 since last October and it is an excellet phone, but while I don't exactly live on the WiFi it's very handy to have for things like Skype since there is no 3G on board...

Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Presumably its a cost thing and they'll be putting it up as a cheap blackberry alternative. All i want is wifi, 3g and preferably gps, in that formfactor and i have my perfect device ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
