HTC MDA Review - Construction & Conclusion
Construction & ConclusionThe Wizard design is very precise and includes a lot of features in a small package. The Wizard is also very high quality and is built to last. The display however is very sensitive like all touch screen phones but the case that is provided helps keep it safe. The phone is also very durable and can go through some serious falls. Although all phones are bound to fall, with this phone you have to be extra careful because of all the sensitive material inside.
One major downside to the design is the loose stylus. I have heard many people who have this problem with the Wizard. It is true, after a while the stylus becomes very loose and you might loose it. I did loose one of mine but good thing it comes with a spare. For most this is not a big deal because a replacement stylus is only a few bucks on the net, but for some it is very annoying!!
The Wizard is one of the most elegant Pocket PC’s on the market right now. Now consumers can enjoy this phone for a lot cheaper than retail because T-Mobile has branded the Wizard under their own name. The T-Mobile MDA is currently less then $300 dollars with contract from T-mobile U.S.
The best thing about Windows Mobile phones is that the possibilities are endless. There are countless programs for everything you can imagine from business tools to games. The reason there are so many programs for these Pocket PC’s is because making new applications is similar for both mobile and PC’s, thus providing a large pool of potential developers. In conclusion, the HTC Wizard is a must have device because:
- It is inexpensive now that T-Mobile is carrying it, watch for the prices to drop even more over the coming months
- It has endless program capabilities
- It looks awesome and is practical to use as daily phone and PDA
- It is a mini computer in your pocket giving you access to movies, music, productivity applications, games and anything else you might want to run!
