Pocket PC Phone (T-Mobile)

Average rating: Stars

poor receiving but great feature

I like the phone but little dissapointed with the receiving - very very poor - the primary purpose of a phone is to receive calls so if that does not work properly why else do I need a phone? the same place where my Motorola phone has 5 bars this has only 2 bars. Other than that it is very nice and easy to use. I found that the HP PDA phone is much better but I do not have more money to buy it
battery life is good but the memory slot does not accept bluetooth connection cards so you can never use bluetooth with it.

I've had this PDA Phone for over a year...

..and I'm hooked. First of all, you should realize that if you're going to own a phone like this, you get a PDA which also doubles as a phone. It's first and foremost a PDA. So, if you just have to have the tiniest device possible, don't want to spend hardly any money on the device, and don't want to spend any time learning how to use it, then this phone is NOT for you.

But, if you're like me, this PDA phone (XDA) is perfect! Besides serving as a phone, I also use this device extensively to read offline web pages (using AvantGo - free), to read ebooks (using the free ÂµBook from www.gowerpoint.com and Microsoft Reader), play games (free and otherwise), and I even use a portable Targus Universal Wireless keyboard (Model # PA870U) to type up notes & journal entries using Microsoft Word which then synchronizes back to my computer. You will probably also like WisBar Advance from www.lakeridgesoftware.com which does a number of other useful things for you (like program control, skins, etc.)

Besides the portable keyboard, I also recommend that owners of this phone immediately obtain a hard case like the OX-0313 at www.styluscentral.com. My phone has survived a few drops, but it has some small dents from dropping it before I had the case. Since I got the case, it has sustained no more damage, despite a few more drops. A friend of mine used to carry his phone (same model) without any case and it met its end after only one drop on concrete.

One last thing you'll want to buy with this phone is an extra SD memory card. That actually is essential, as the internal memory of the PDA itself will fill up quite quickly once you start loading ÂµBook, games, ebooks, etc. I use a 64 MB card and have mostly filled that up. I would recommend starting with a 128 MB card. That may seem too big at first, but you'll quickly use up the space.

You should know that I have NOT used the phone with the T-Mobile internet service so I can't vouch for the quality of that service. As far as standard phone functions go, the phone has done OK. Like many phones, you won't be able to use it in buildings and some locations, depending on antenna, etc. but it has been decent where I live (Minneapolis, MN area).

In short, this has been a great phone for me. I have almost completely stopped lugging around a laptop since I got this phone as it does everything for me that I used the laptop for. Obviously, this won't do everything a regular computer does, but it does everything I need, and more. If you already use a computer daily and would like to carry some of that functionality around with you without lugging around a laptop, this phone is probably ideal for you.

Very handy but reception is poor, bulky too

This device is great as far as keeping appointments and so forth but the reception is not as good as other cell phones.
The internet access on this is vvvveeeerrrryyy slow, but it works. Only use it if you have a lot of time to spare or in emergencies. Example, I was in Orlando, FL and I easily pulled up Yahoo yellow pages to get Disney Worlds phone number. In that instance, it was very handy.
