 T-Mobile(HTC) MDA Compact is announced in 2005
Design
Far better looking than the previous models, the MDA Compact appears both smaller and sleeker than its predecessor - a result of the visual illusion as the difference in size is marginal. There are however several other quite tangible differences, coincidentally leaving a larger area of the screen exposed; overall improved build quality and ergonomics; and some weight loss.Weighing in at 170 grams and measuring 108 x 58 x 18 mm, it's compact ad powerful for its size.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all T-Mobile(HTC) handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The MDA Compact is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent T-Mobile(HTC) handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the MDA Compact boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as HSCSD, GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, HSCSD support gives more speed when you browse with your mobile browser,and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the MDA Compact is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 0 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the T-Mobile(HTC) MDA Compact.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the MDA Compact, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the MDA Compact was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1200 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 180 minutes.
Availability
The T-Mobile(HTC) MDA Compact is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
T-Mobile(HTC) MDA Compact is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical T-Mobile(HTC) design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
