T-Mobile MDA Basic

Announced during the CeBit show on January, the T-Mobile MDA Basic is, as the name suggests, a touch screen phone which is fairly basic in the sense that the features aren’t really much to brag about, but is a handset which you would prefer to have as your second phone.

The T-Mobile MDA Basic weighs in at 110g and is 16mm thick, which is quite something considering that a phone much more advanced like the HTC Touch Diamond2 is only 13.7mm. The phone makes use of a 2.8 inch TFT resistive touchscreen which displays upto 65k colors. The TouchFLO user interface can be found, which really makes finger-navigation a very pleasant experience.

The T-Mobile MDA Basic has a RAM size of 128MB and a ROM capacity of 256MB, which is fairly manageable for a mid-range phone. Connectivity options include class 10 GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v2.0 with stereo bluetooth support. The missing party here is 3G, whose absence is quite surprising considering that the phone has support for Wi-Fi!

A 2 MPIX snapper is on board, which can shoot photos upto 1600×1200 pixels in resolution. Videos can also be captured with the camera.

The MDA Basic runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, which has become the norm for non-Symbian phones. Contact features include SMS, MMS, e-mail and instant messaging support for most of the major email service providers. Another surprising absentee comes in the form of an FM radio, which is generally considered as a must for mid-range phones. Why these phones don’t have a simple feature like FM radio is fairly hard to understand. The usual Pocket Office (used for viewing and editing Word, PowerPoint, Excel files and viewing PDF files) is present, as is a media player which supports MP3 and AAC formats.
