I was unsure- between the MDA and 8700G. I decided on the MDA and took delivery of my first MDA on Wednesday. I struggled with poor phone reception, synchronization problems and frequent lock ups. Through all the frustration, I found the ergonomics better than I expected and felt I could make good use of the device if I could get one that worked properly. I opted to try another one and got lucky. This one rocks! Good reception, stable performance and a very useful suite of applications. There is no doubt you are using a Windows device and navigation through the OS is nearly identical to a desktop. I had a Treo 600 previously and still love the device. Some tasks are simpler on the Treo. Overall, the feature set of the MDA is superior. The MDA with higher res screen, browsing, wi-fi and MS apps is much more convenient than pulling out the laptop for most of my remote connectivity needs. I am very pleased with the MDA and recommend it for anyone looking for a "laptop light product".

  To start off with I read all of the reviews. I want come it on the siginal. My MDA has had a better siginal and better receipen than my blackberry (both used t-mobile). My MDA is much easier to navigate and comes with alot more software than the blackberry. The WiFi was a little hard to setup, but it's nice to have. My only other complaint is it's a little heavy, but great phone.-- Jack, VA
