T-Mobile launches 3G HSDPA MDA Vario II
The time has come: T-Mobile is launching MDA Vario II. This is the first HSDPA cell phone to be made by a German network operator. HSDPA offers bandwidths of up to 1.8 megabits/second across the whole T-Mobile UMTS network. Users of PDA phones can surf the Internet via web’n'walk at an ultrafast speed and access the information and entertainment services they need from anywhere. Those using the device for business will appreciate the high speed when downloading emails with large attachments or researching online for example. Besides HSDPA, the integrated EDGE and W-LAN technologies in MDA Vario II also enable high-speed experience whilst on the move.
Innovative technology, sophisticated ease of use, high quality manufacturing and the smart range of colors on offer - anthracite, Bordeaux and black - are the cornerstones of the unique make-up of MDA Vario II. As a real all-rounder, the phone also offers numerous Office Mobile applications such as Word Mobile and PowerPoint Mobile based on the operating system Windows Mobile 5.0 for use on the move. Users can completely synchronize their Outlook with contact details, calendar entries, messages and so on with their device. MDA Vario II supports current email standards as well as the Microsoft email push service which T-Mobile provides as part of its MDA messaging solution. The BlackBerry Push Service can be easily installed on the device and software is supplied. For high resolution photographs and video recordings a 2 mega pixel camera with close-up mode and flash is built-in. A second camera enables the owner to be shown during video telephony via UMTS. The side track wheel, the slide out QWERTZ keyboard, a button to end completed programs and soft keys which can be allocated on the large touch screen color display mean all functions can be used quickly and easily. The large internal memory can be further extended by a plug-in micro SD card.
The MDA Vario II will be available from August 14, 2006 at a price of EUR 359.59 on the Relax 100 tariff on a 24-month postpay contract. The Relax 100 basic charge of EUR 28 includes 100 free minutes to the German fixed network and all German mobile networks.
