Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Upgrade your phone's software,
By 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.

You either love it or hate it...being a "geek" helps.,
By A Customer
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.

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)
