Pocket PCs and smartphones were two entirely different categories not so long ago. But as the technology advances, the differences in features, performance, size, weight are blurring rapidly. The MDA Vario is one step further to unify these two separate devices. The MDA Vario can be best described as a Pocket PC with the convenience of a smartphone.
The MDA Vario is surprisingly small when compared to any Pocket PC but looks a bit bulky compared to 'slim' phones. But with the unending list of features packed inside, you'd be easily amazed how could anyone squeeze in so much into something so small. With dedicated keys for calls and a navigation pad, the MDA Vario looks like any smartphone, but things get hotter when you horizontally slide the display to reveal to Qwerty keyboard. The display too changes from portrait to landscape once the keyboard is out and so is very comfortable to write as well as to browse the Internet.
The MDA Vario works on Windows Mobile 2005, have a 200 MHz processor, 64 MB DDR SD RAM, 128 MB ROM, memory expandable with miniSD cards and supports all the four bands GSM mobile network. The PDA can format MS office documents and also sports an improved mobile Internet explorer. The Direct Push technology used in the MDA Vario allows you to receive emails instantly without instructing softwares to check for mails.
The Internet connection speed is comparable with broadband with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. Many other connectivity options like USB and Bluetooth 2.0 is available with the 'old fashioned' Infra red. The PDA also boasts of Class 10 GPRS/EDGE.
Click a snap or two with the 1.3 megapixel camera with dedicated key, or enjoy your share of music on the media player with stereo speakers. The MDA Vario also houses high quality Java games for you to test your gaming skills.
With the MDA Vario, you're never out of fun, yet never far from work.
