T-mobile SDA review

This review has been a long time in coming mostly because I don’t think it’s a good idea to review a phone before you’ve had a good chance to put it through the ropes.

I’ve had this phone now since last april, and despite the fact that i’ve dropped it, scratched it, and let it fall in a cup of water, it’s still working just fine (I’m writing this post on it right now). So the SDA passes my test for being sturdily built; it’s been in my pocket for 7 months.

By now the phone is a bit older than some of the hot new phones, but it does e-mail and browses the internet just fine. Plus it has a built-in wi-fi card, which is nice for tapping into free wireless networks if you’d rather not pay for the additional internet service from T-mobile, which is $30 per month. In fact, this price is my only real complaint. The blackberry internet connection is $10 cheaper per month.

Like I said, I’m writing this review from the phone itself, so it probably feels a lot longer to me than it will look when I post it, but the bottom line is that it is a solid phone that I recommend to anyone who wants their PDA to feel more like a traditional cell phone. I never liked the new, extra wide models myself, so this is the right phone for me.

Also, I’ve been worried about the control stick breaking since I bought it, because if anything goes, it will be that. But so far there haven’t been any problems with it.
