T-Mobile MDA Compact V

T-Mobile MDA Compact V (free on contract) is a high-end smartphone, which stuffs into a high-resolution touchscreen, a full set of features and connectivity latest.

Based on HTC Touch Diamond2 , it shares much of its design with its brothers and sisters, but has a unique style and updated software.

The 3.2-inch touchscreen is ideal when it comes to browsing the Internet or watching video clips with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels produce an image quality and crisp vibrant colors. It is easy to see even in bright conditions, and is used to navigate the operating system and entering text.

It is sensitive, proving accurate when a finger or tapping on links, but it is quickly covered with dirt and prints. Although it does not exactly match the best in class - in particular because of the screen being smaller than some of its competitors - you will find an on-screen keyboard very good.

keys are not the largest, but it compensates with excellent correction software has the ability to predict the words you type. It's not perfect, but we found it very accurate, which makes it easy to type at speed. Those with large hands should try before you buy, however.

The operating system Windows Mobile 6.1 is well disguised by HTC TouchFLO software , with large icons that are easy to use without having to use a stylus. It offers a customizable menu page - which can launch your applications Preferred - works well and responds quickly to stocks, helped by a 528MHz processor.

onboard memory - to 288MB - is limited, although you'll be able to add more via microSD cards.

The quality is good, although, unlike the Touch Diamond2 it is based, is made of plastic rather than metal. It is lightweight and compact, easily small enough to fit in pockets.

Although the buttons are kept to a minimum, you will find the call buttons and the end, and easy to use zoom bar at the bottom of the screen. There are also controls Volume on the side, but a button to activate the camera is conspicuous by its absence.

Excellent connectivity

As Samsung i8910 HD, Compact V excels when it comes to connectivity. 3G/HSDPA provides faster download speeds and Web browsing is a pleasure. It is easy to navigate web pages at high resolution rendering of images perfectly.

GPS allows the device to be used as a sat-nav with Google Maps is also supported. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both built, allowing you to transfer files to other digital devices and connect to wireless networks. The camera takes pictures at a resolution of 5 megapixels, with autofocus also integrated, decent pictures can be taken.

It is slow to respond, however, and the lack of a dedicated shutter button also allows little difficult to control.

MDA Compact V is a very capable smartphone, feature rich and offers ease of use. The slightly narrower keyboard does not fit all users, but it is definitely worth putting on your list.
