The secret of T-Mobile MDA lies in styling and form factor, the 125 x 72 x 19 mm, 210 gram phone is another one of those sexy slider phones. Also, its 2.5 mm hands free kit jack, as well as the 0.3 Mega pixel camera lens. The MDA III offers quad-band GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz with GPRS Class 8 and 10, Blue tooth and Wi-Fi 802.11b. Signal reception for all three frequencies proved on average very good, and it includes a new Blue tooth stack rather than the profile-anemic atrocity found in the MDA II. Profiles abound, and for Wi-Fi the MDA III supports WEP and WPA, as well as 802.1x for added security – a boon for both enterprise users and security-conscious consumers and runs the Second Edition of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC platform.
