The new T-Mobile MDA, a cellphone powered by Windows Mobile 5.0, has so many features that you may just leave your laptop at home.

The 5.6-ounce MDA supports four international cellular frequencies and can connect to newer EDGE networks. It has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for tapping into wireless hot spots, including T-Mobile’s international hot spot network. It has a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, an MP3 player and a MiniSD card slot. It comes with a 2.8-inch color touch screen, a slide-out keyboard for messaging, a stylus and ear buds. It is estimated to sell for $400.

Total talk time is about five hours, with five days of standby time. The built-in software supports Yahoo, MSN and AIM instant messaging and mobile e-mail.

The MDA is a much better phone then the Sidekick II. Its true that the mda is more of a palmtop computer then a phone, Thats why I love it so much.

I created a website about hacking / modifying / tweaking the MDA, https://www.mdaTweak.com
