Compatible with T-Mobile cell phone service, this Pocket PC phone features Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition, and functions both as a high-quality cell phone and a serious PDA. It features pocket versions of Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, and IE, as well as MS Reader, Media Player, and Terminal Server. Plus there's a speakerphone, microphone, voice recorder, and a whole lot more, and it's all displayed on a large, 240 x 320, 12 bit 4,096 color PDA screen.
For calling, the dual band phone works on the 1900 MHz band and features call timers, redial, missed call indicator, call log, any-key answer, auto-answer, auto-redial, speed dial, mute control, no-answer transfer, one-touch 911, vibrating ring, differential ring, and a phone book capacity of 250 entries but expandable via memory card.
As a PDA, the T-Mobile Pocket PC phone offers all the wonders of the 2003 version of Microsoft Pocket PC Phone Edition: 32 MB RAM with a 206 MHz StrongARM processor, loaded up with Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and Windows Media Player, so you can play MP3s and movie clips with your device, as well as downloadable WAV-format files for ring tones, a large step above the usual options available for phones to date. The e-mail client supports POP3, IMAP 4 and MS Pocket Outlook, and can be used online, or offline via ActiveSync. Outlook also provides a familiar calendar, datebook, and other organizer functions. Data storage can be expanded via MultiMediaCard (MMC) Secure Digital (SD) cards, and PC sync is accomplished via infrared and ActiveSync software. For getting online, Pocket Internet Explorer supports not only WAP, but also i-Mode, HTML, and AvantGo channels.
This Pocket PC phone weighs 5.2 oz. and measures 4.3 x 2.7 x 0.7 inches. Its batteries are rated at 210 minutes talk time and 150 hours standby time.

1 poor receiving but great feature
I like the phone but little dissapointed with the receiving - very very poor - the primary purpose of a phone is to receive calls so if that does not work properly why else do I need a phone? the same place where my Motorola phone has 5 bars this has only 2 bars. Other than that it is very nice and easy to use. I found that the HP PDA phone is much better but I do not have more money to buy it
battery life is good but the memory slot does not accept bluetooth connection cards so you can never use bluetooth with it.
2 I've had this PDA Phone for over a year...
..and I'm hooked. First of all, you should realize that if you're going to own a phone like this, you get a PDA which also doubles as a phone. It's first and foremost a PDA. So, if you just have to have the tiniest device possible, don't want to spend hardly any money on the device, and don't want to spend any time learning how to use it, then this phone is NOT for you.
But, if you're like me, this PDA phone (XDA) is perfect! Besides serving as a phone, I also use this device extensively to read offline web pages (using AvantGo - free), to read ebooks (using the free µBook from www.gowerpoint.com and Microsoft Reader), play games (free and otherwise), and I even use a portable Targus Universal Wireless keyboard (Model # PA870U) to type up notes & journal entries using Microsoft Word which then synchronizes back to my computer. You will probably also like WisBar Advance from www.lakeridgesoftware.com which does a number of other useful things for you (like program control, skins, etc.)
Besides the portable keyboard, I also recommend that owners of this phone immediately obtain a hard case like the OX-0313 at www.styluscentral.com. My phone has survived a few drops, but it has some small dents from dropping it before I had the case. Since I got the case, it has sustained no more damage, despite a few more drops. A friend of mine used to carry his phone (same model) without any case and it met its end after only one drop on concrete.
One last thing you'll want to buy with this phone is an extra SD memory card. That actually is essential, as the internal memory of the PDA itself will fill up quite quickly once you start loading µBook, games, ebooks, etc. I use a 64 MB card and have mostly filled that up. I would recommend starting with a 128 MB card. That may seem too big at first, but you'll quickly use up the space.
You should know that I have NOT used the phone with the T-Mobile internet service so I can't vouch for the quality of that service. As far as standard phone functions go, the phone has done OK. Like many phones, you won't be able to use it in buildings and some locations, depending on antenna, etc. but it has been decent where I live (Minneapolis, MN area).
In short, this has been a great phone for me. I have almost completely stopped lugging around a laptop since I got this phone as it does everything for me that I used the laptop for. Obviously, this won't do everything a regular computer does, but it does everything I need, and more. If you already use a computer daily and would like to carry some of that functionality around with you without lugging around a laptop, this phone is probably ideal for you.

3 Very handy but reception is poor, bulky too
This device is great as far as keeping appointments and so forth but the reception is not as good as other cell phones.
The internet access on this is vvvveeeerrrryyy slow, but it works. Only use it if you have a lot of time to spare or in emergencies. Example, I was in Orlando, FL and I easily pulled up Yahoo yellow pages to get Disney Worlds phone number. In that instance, it was very handy.
4 More than I expected! A wonderful surprise...
I purchased the T-Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition as a necessary replacement for both a failing cell phone and an outdated palm-pilot. At first, I was just going to purchase a new phone, but since I was not entering into a new cell-phone contract (just replacing the phone itself), the prices of cell phones nowadays didn't seem very much worth their limited functionality. So I decided to try out this PocketPC Phone Edition.
Let's just say that I am wonderfully surprised by the utility of this little unit. It does everything that I could desire, truly! It syncs effortlessly with other devices (my computer via IR, although you can use a USB connection; other devices by BlueTooth), making file transfer a breeze. I can view and edit documents in various common formats: Word, Excel, text/rich-text, PDF, Microsoft Reader, etc. The media capabilities allow me to store pictures, which display quite nicely on the large (~2x3") high-res screen; and I can play music and video, too -- although that is limited practically by the 32Mb internal storage (an expansion card is available). The PocketPC Phone Edition has a built-in IE web browser that functions via a GPRS connection. I have not paid for this service (appx $20/mo.), but I use the web browser often with download web pages, such as via AvantGo for news and views. Having your morning e-mail downloaded to the unit is wonderful, and makes my morning commute more productive. I greatly enjoy using the SMS message function on the phone, which allows me to text message other cell phones -- it's easier to use writing w/ a stylus than punching keys on a cell phone -- and there is an integrated In Box that stores and categorizes text messages, e-mails, sent items, etc. The Microsoft Windows CE operating system feels familiar, intuitive and functional.
I will add here that the one feature that to me makes this all worthwhile is that it syncs perfectly with Microsoft Outlook, using its addressbook. No more entering numbers into my phone! I just view the addressbook entry (which shows name, address, home/work/cell phone, e-mail, etc.). Tap on e-mail, and I can write that person an e-mail. I can send an instant text message to that person's mobile phone. Tap on a phone number, and it dials.
Some people may comment that T-Mobile's service lags behind other companies. In the past, I would have agreed. But, over the past few years, I believe it is on par with a lot of other companies, at least in Houston, Dallas and New York City, where I have lived, and major metropolitan areas, where I have travelled. This phone has great amplification of signal. The sound quality is good, too, and speakerphone is helpful when you are trying to talk on a noisy street.
Overall, this phone has proved jam-packed with features that I use and enjoy. I am pleased with this purchase.
5 Worth it, but understand it is practical not stylish
This is a great combination phone/PDA. Many small features that make it that much easier such as in your contacts on Microsoft outlook you can tap their phone number to call rather than dialing. The stylus hid in the antenna is perfect as well, it stays in no problem, the case that comes with it is great as well. Has the option of getting a digital camera and lots more memory if needed.
The practical side of it is blaringly obvious though. It is very light, but it is not in sync with the cell phone fashions of today either. It is not a phone you necessarily want on your side for a date or to hit the club.
For what it is meant for, the size and weight are great. I have had zero problems with it and am thoroughly pleased. Just remember its purpose and you will be as well.
6 Broken for the second time
Do yourself a favor and don't buy this product. At 11 months (just before the warranty expired), my battery died & wiped the machine clean. They replaced it. New one (refurbished?) had a three-month warranty. Four months later, guess what? It is dying again. My friend also bought one and had the same problem. Steer clear!
7 Don't worry
I shopped for a month for the right pda/phone. THis is it. I am very happy with both my phone and my service through T-Mobile. Everything works as promised, and the service in COlorado Springs is better than anyone else. I love th epda features and have enjoyed the easy interface to my pc.
8 Buy this Phone!
I switched over to T-Mobil and in the process I got a Pocket PC Phone Edition. As a phone it is very clear and it can be used as a speaker phone. It doesn't have any keys just a few buttons. I puts up a picture of a keyboard with large keys and you just touch them with your finger to dial a number. It can also receive and send email because it contains Outlook and many other Microsoft applications like Word and Excel. It is basically a PDA and a phone at the same time.
I can highlight a name in the contacts list and either email or phone by clicking with the stylus. You can enter text by taping a keyboard which looks like a real keyboard, or by writing or printing and it will convert it to type.
My wife got one too and she uses AOL 2.0 for Pocket PC on it. The best part is that it synchronizes your contacts list to your PC so you don't have to reenter email address and phone numbers.
T-Mobil offers unlimited GPRS for $20 dollars a month which means you can use the internet or email as much as you want without worrying about minutes.
The only negative is that I can't use the phone as a modem to access the email and internet from my PC while on the road. I had this feature with my Siemens SX45. I am hoping that the upcoming Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 upgrade will solve this. The direct access to Email the internet from the phone is good but if your PC is available it is much easier with the full screen and keyboard.
9 Unbelievably Powerfull Tool-Excellent phone reception
I had a Motorolla MPX 200 with the outlook sync on the ATT GSA network in Sacramento. The Phone features were awsome. However, the actual "phone" portion worked terribly. Try calling ATT for customer service and if you can afford to spend 1+ hours on hold for them to tell you all is ok. Then the ATT phone may be for you.I was getting dropped calls all over Sacramento, CA. Downtown, south town, every major freeway corridor.
The T-1 Mobile Pocket PC which I have had for 2 weeks now is crystal clear. Not one dropped call in Sacramento County so far. The PC portion of it is flawless. Fax, Email Word and Excel documents to clients from the phone. I was at a ski resort on a week day, got a call from a client. Did some quick reasearch on the internet and faxed them a document. They never knew I was out of the office. With this phone you can make notes on the screen. UNbelievable. Fantastic. I cannot speak for all of the T-1 GSA areas nationwide, but I know that They have Sacramento COVERED. I hope my compeditors do not discover this fantastic phone.
10 Buggy without software upgrade
First I hated this phone because of the freezing problem. However, the latest upgrade from T-mobile fixed it. So now it is a pretty good device! How about making it smaller now?
11 Not for the Non-Geek (Geeks Only)
I love the phone, despite the fact that there are a lot of features that are buggy.
Just understand that you are getting a slightly buggy device, with erradic internet performance and a somtimes echoey(for the other user) speakerphone.
Thats all I got to say. Love it, but its buggy.
12 You either love it or hate it...being a "geek" helps.
I have noticed in my experience and in the reviews, people either love or hate this Phone/PDA. Wading through the reviews and then purchasing this phone myself, I have noticed some trends.
You will love this phone if you: 1) have good GSM phone service; don't mind a rather clunky device for the sake of features; 3) you actually want/need a Pocket PC i.e. either you are a "techie" or you have specific portable software needs; 4) you don't mind chasing down fixes and/or software to make it work the way you want. A great example of this is the doctor's review. The doctor loves the thing because it has portable PC functionality with a phone to boot. In my case, I love having PDA software, Quicken, email, and I am excited about programming software for it.
You will hate it if you : 1) have bad GSM phone service; 2) really want a PDA phone NOT a Pocket PC; 3) can't do without a sleek, intuitive design; 4) aren't a geek.
In the end, this sounds like the classic Mac verses PC debate. If you want the ability to tweak and run any kind of software or add a 1 GB smart card or GPS, then buy the Pocket PC Phone. You will love it. If you can't imagine why in the world anyone would ever need a gigabyte of memory in their phone, buy something else. You probably want something more robust and user friendly and not with so many dizzying features. Maybe the T-Mobile Sidekick is for you.
Don't get me wrong, it is fairly easy to use. It's a matter of degree and what you like.
For the record, I haven't had much trouble with dropped calls. It's pretty much like other T-Mobile phones. It is a PC and thus fragile. I recommend the handset insurance right away.
13 .Net Features
Does this CellPhone support .Net software development ??
Please advicse ASAP
Thanking You
Smit.
14 Nice Intergration ... for the first generation!
Wait for the next generation due out in March 2004 offered by T-Mobile. If you want something to lump your email addresses, phone numbers and snail addresses into one device that you will carry most of time, then this may be the phone for you. I have used this phone for almost a year now. I would still recommend it if you were simply want an integrated device that can dial out.
Yes, it is bulky and a bit heavy for a phone but not a PDA - but I still manage it to put it in my back jean pocket (without the case). It is not SDIO compatible and not a bluetooth ready device. It is limited with 32 MB internal memory. The headset is proprietary but you can easily purchase 3rd party headphone. The hand recognition input method is not too bad but like Palm, it has its own limitation.
Service is same as Cingular in my area. And all cellular companies are pretty much the same to me nowadays. Don't expect way too much of their technical support until you get to at least second level tech support. It is true that you should figure out your own internal email network compatibility before you purchase this device. However, with a third level of tech support I was able to get it working (sort of).
Internet service is slow for GPRS network. So forget it. Wait for a better connection offered at cheaper price.
15 Simply put... Unreliable.
I wont write much about this phone because I do not think it deserves the time and effort... Simply put, the phone is horribly unreliable and I myself have owned many cell phones in the past. There are times where it just doesnt want to work and there are times when it just freezes up for a few minutes which is very annoying when your a busy person like I am (I'm always traveling and need my calls *period*) This coupled with the even worse service brings it even lower. The phone itself has a big screen and is hard to handle without smudging up the screen and the way its designed makes it easily slip out of your hands. The car adapter for this also does not work well... What were they thinking? You plug it in and maybe it might be connected or it might not and youll have to try again and hopefully it will work this time... The way it works as a phone is very uncomfortable and not reasonable but the PDA funsctions work very well and has a nice interface but since it doesnt work half the time and is a hassle to even use It's not worth it. It just can not be tolerated so please save yourself some trouble and not buy this phone and instead pay the extra and buy the PCS Phone Samsung I500.
Hopefully I have helped you in staying away... no, FAR away from this phone
16 Great PDA......... OK Phone
If your main use for this product is a PDA, it is an excellent choice. If you will primarily be using it as a phone..... maybe other options would be better. I have no complaints about the phone service. As with EVERY carrier you will experience a droppped call now and then. It's not your home phone DON'T expect it to be! My only problem is it's size. Excellent for a PDA, not so great for a phone. I use thousands of minutes a month of phone service and by the end of the day I feel like I've worked out. I KNOW someone will say get a head set, they include one. I don't know about you but I don't want to wear the thing everywhere I go and by the time you find it, untangle it and get that little nub into your your ear not only have you missed the call but your car could be wrapped around a tree!
In closing I will say I'm very pleased with this product. The few short comings are greatly out numbered by the positive aspects that it contains.
17 Great Phone
The PocketPC Phone is an excellent combination of PDA and Phone. I have used the Treo and this one is way better. Although GSM coverage is not as good as CDMA in USA. Where I live i.e in Boston area the coverage is excellent. My next step is to buy a GPS for it. Also guys please buy atleast 256 MB sd card as you will need it. Another thing you might want to get is a better browser than the IE that comes with it. I use thunderhawk from bitstream.com and it makes such a difference when you are surfing the web.
Pros
. Everything
Cons
. Little bulky (But then again, this is sooo much better than the competetion)
18 Very good overall
I have used this system exactly for one year.This has been a miracle for me as a Health care Professional. Telephone with a speaker, SMS(Text messaging), Schedules with reminders, Contacts, even internet on the tip of my finger right on the front lines!
Not that wasn't enough with addition of an external card I have loaded the device with multiple medical books from skyscape.com and free calculator, and last but not least epocrates with latest on meds and lastest on journals and medical events weekly from MDCONSULT.com on the RAM which has been a heaven. I just can't believe it still its like a dream coming true...
downsides with every new system is expected but only a smart man knows how to resolve problems rather than expecting to be provided with a "perfect system":
#1 battery at max is 1.5 days (no problem I have put chargers in the car too).
#2 slow internet (I don't use that much internet only for emergency and I remember during my vacation I was able to purchase two items by this device from e-bay!)
#3 e-mails at max you will get 2 lines of your e-mails (and if you put don't foward on your ISP side you will get only the headers ) why? because only in Europe they have overcome this problem not USA yet (a simple translation to english of what I was told finally by the third level tech.)However on SMS you could send a page at a time with 300-500 SMS a month for couple of dollars a month that is unbelievable.
#4 device kept falling from its lose connection from my belt in going in and out from the car(no problem I purchased a great holder from Marware.com now it doesn't move)
So again it is depended on what you are doing and expecting, for me this device has saved lives!
19 Upgrade your phone's software
I was an early adopter of this phone. It was almost unuseable at first because it froze up all the time. After upgrading the operating system on the phone with a download from T-mobile, all of these problems went away. Most of the bad reviews I have noticed are from early adopters who hadn't discovered that their software was defective and could be fixed.
That's sad because the phone is excellent. It can do far more than any Palm/OS PDA or phone I have owned. And because it integrates so seamlessly with Outlook, I always have a complete set of information on my contacts everywhere I go. Because there is so much software and hardware out there for this platform, the phone has limitless potential. You can plug a GPS device with maps into the phone. I added a briliantly written star chart that is updated in realtime. And don't worry about where to store all the software and data: you can slide in up to 1GB of memory in the form of a tiny memory card.
The phone has virtually infinite battery life. In practice, it never runs out. I've gone away to another city for the weekend without bringing a charger and without concern.
The phone has provided me with excellent reception from Chicago to Patong Beach in Thailand. Sadly, the reception is poor in many parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, although Silicon Valley and San Francisco are quite acceptable.
The antenna on the phone is one of the least obtrusive. Since it is curved and thick, it doesn't get as readily caught and damaged as those that protrude from other phones.
20 Needs a lot of WORK still
I bought the Pocket PC the first week they came out. I love the way everything synchronized flawlessly with my PC. I love the FACT that I do not have to carry two (2)separate items with me (pda and phone). I love my plan with T-mobile--- it gives me enough minutes I need every month without me worrying about my monthly bills going out of control. The problem started when the phone first froze and all the calls to third level support from T-mobile can not do anything to help fix it. They did exchange the phone with a new unit after 2 weeks (more or less). The main problem I had with the Pocket PC is when I tried to use it as a PHONE....it does not work..plain and simple.if I want to use it as a PDA, it works flawlessly, If I want to use it as a phone, 98% of the time there is no reception or the bar indicator will only show 1 or 2 bars. I went back and bought a regular phone (Nokia) and I can use it as a phone nowadays and I am using a sony clie as a PDA right now. If you are thinking of buying this ,,pls be warned..unless you need a very expensive paperweight...coz it can only works as a pda (if you want to carry this versus a smaller pda - size that is available out there) and it is literally useless as a phone. Until the manufacturers can clean up their act. I will be carrying 2 things with me. ....
21 Bad phone; worse service
I received this phone/pda from Amazon. Unit was defective. T-mobile replaced, but only after spending HOURS with tech support (which by the way takes at least 20 minutes to reach after the CSR transfer the call). T-Mobile's coverage was really bad -- could not make calls in urban areas in California (e.g., LA, SF). I cancelled the unit during the 14 day trial period. I just received a bill from T-Mobile for "partial service"! Would not recommend this phone or service to anyone.
22 Road warrior and email
I'm a heavy traveler with limited access to the traditional WIFI connection we all enjoy. The solution boiled down to the IPAQ or the HTC/ Siemmens SX56/ Pocket PC unit. My choice was made for me. The size of the piggy back unit required to run the GPRS card on the IPAQ is too bulky and heavy. FWI: the Sierra Air Card chews up batteries so the heavy duty optional pack is needed for anything more than a quickie a couple of time a day. Also the Texas heat diminishes the amp hour rating ... major. So in the IPAQ series your talking about a brick. If your needs are cellular based GPRS and not WIFI based this IS the animal. Now for email tie in ... If you trying to get into corporate email some IT department have shut down their POP3 entry points due to security issues. Typically your first thought is VPN and a hard coded IP address to have access. I don't know if this unit has that feature. I have chosen to take advantage of the ability of our servers to take advantage of the new embedded technology and run MAPI in our Outlook Exchange Server which was included from Microsoft. It allows me to get into the server SECURE via https://owa.mycompanydomainname.com in my browser window. If your corporate is running exchange servers try pulling it up and entering your log on name and pass code from your desktop. If you get it there, you get it on your PDA through its browser. This information was hard to get and was not mentioned in the tech tips etc I've exhaustively read out there on the web. I hope this technical note can help other corporate road hounds out there needing a GPRS/56kbs solution. I hope to see software in 2004 that will address the need to reboot often. Lets hope ... otherwise your out of options till something else hits the streets in Nov - Dec 03. Starbucks and Border's and WIFI/T1 looks better all the time.
23 Shaky platform, worse service
I bought this pocket pc phone thinking it would solve my problems of juggling phone, organizer, and e-mail functions. Was I wrong!
The phone works alright - for the most part - although its signal is noticeably weaker in my home area than another mobile phone I had that was also operating on T-mobile's network. You also have to re-boot the pocket pc somewhat frequently because it locks up on phone calls -- a big pain.
The real problem came when I tried to get my business e-mail connected via the pocket pc phone. T-mobile's advertising was very friendly -- call us and we'll help get you up and running! Meanwhile, after four or five calls with their wireless data group support, I still am only receiving message headers (useless) rather than the full text of e-mail messages. At this point, I was told by level three wireless support that "it might not work with your VPN" (business network). So I moved over to T-mobile's customer support to resolve my problem, figuring that after multiple support calls amounting to eight or 10 hours of my time, the phone was not all it was cracked up to be.
They told me it was my problem, that I should have investigated the compatibility of my office network with their pocket pc phone before buying the item. You can call me a fool for not running all the traps, but as a prospective consumer, be wary of this platform as it still has many, many kinks. Be warier still of signing up with T-mobile because of their "buyer beware" policy. Keep shopping. This phone is probably not going to give you what you're looking for, unless it's a few hundred dollars less in your wallet.
24 Excellent product, spotty reception
Its not the device's fault, but GSM reception where I live is terrible. The device worked beautifully throughout Thailand, and had good reception in Chicago. But despite the poor reception, I make do because the phone is brilliantly implemented in most other respects. Synchronization is flawless. Data entry is easy. And I can run just about any application under the sun on it. One handed operation could be a lot better (it is better on the Kyocera).
25 Phone is great, coverage not so good
Was originally a Palm user, switched to an iPaq Pocket PC 2 years ago (for the screen quality -- I'm usually anti-MicroSoft), and just got this PDA/Phone combo a month ago (made by HTC, the same company that makes the iPaq Pocket PC). PDA functions work as expected (for a long time iPaq user). The integration of phone and PDA address book works well (although not perfect). Download the latest OS patch -- it does help.
As for coverage (T-Mobile), it's decent in most urban and interstate areas, marginal to non-existent everywhere else. I just had to have this phone (I'm a gadget freak) and the only alternative carrier was AT&T, who has ZERO coverage in NY state where most of my family lives, so T-Mobile it was, spotty coverage or no.
By the way, you can use any .WAV file as a ring tone. Here's a tip to minimize disruptions from receiving calls in a meeting -- use the PDA voice recorder to record yourself clearing your throat or coughing, then set that as your ring tone. Might even get some laughs.
One other note -- the old Pocket Streets (street map program) which came free with your first iPaq can be installed on this phone -- no need to buy the new 2002 Pocket Streets
26 The best PDA that I've ever had!
I was a palm user for many years and thought to give a try to pocket pc. I really wanted to combine the phone and PDA features together and carry 1 less device. This phone/pda is the answer to my prayers. It does everything that I wanted it to do and a lot more. I added a SD memory card to it and I play musics, carry all my pictures with me, use ms-money and flexwallet excessively, have all my contacts, tasks, appointements,... in my PDA phone. The reception is also so great in my area (Los Angeles). In simple words, I love this device. Thanks T-Mobile and HTC.
27 This phone rocks!
Have been using it for about a week now.. this thing does it all! I have put south park episodes in here and everyone says it looks just like TV. Buy a BIG memory card because you are going to want it! :) Wish the CF slot was CF/IO so I could add a wireless card though. Also wish it had bluetooth built in. Worth every penny. BUY IT! (And no I don't work for T-mobile ;)
28 + features - quality
Boy was I excited to get this new all in one phone. Unfortunatly the cell coverage was poor to non existant. At time I could get one bar of signal strength but when I made a call it sounded like i was talking through a tunnel from the moon. The main reason I got the phone was for the cellular connectivity to the internet. I signed up for GPRS service and could not get a strong enough signal to use the service. I'll keep my toshiba e740 and live with internet connectivity limited to the home and office!
