 T-Mobile(HTC) SDA is announced in 2004
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the SDA, T-Mobile(HTC) has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the T-Mobile(HTC) SDA is slender and not very compact handset at 108 x 47 x 20 mm and 100 grams. The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 176 x 220 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 SDA is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent T-Mobile(HTC) handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the T-Mobile(HTC) SDA emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the SDA boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as 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, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the SDA is also equipped with a 1 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 32 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) SDA.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the SDA, 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 SDA was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1050 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 6 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 157 minutes.
Availability
The T-Mobile(HTC) SDA is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
T-Mobile(HTC) SDA 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. |
