HTC MDA (Wizard) 8125 Cell Phone Reviews

by Paul Ferguson -- December 13th 2006 -- Riverton, UT

It is so nice not having to carry a separate phone and PDA anymore. The call quality is fine, battery life is much better than I expected. I use it as an mp3 player when I run, and for video games and ebooks when I'm bored. The wi-fi is nice for doing a little web-surfing if I can't sleep, and since my wife has one too, our weekly coordination meeting is now simplified by syncing our calendars together. I don't know how I ever lived without it! HTC MDA (Wizard) 8125.

Quite a bulky phone, compared to some of the other pda's on the market. Speaker quality is garbage for mp3. If you want a mp3 player buy an mp3 player. Most aftermarket programs suck. Windows mobile is difficult to customize. A lot of web-pages display as mobile pages and don't work properly. Serious issues with media player and the movie formats the phone saves as. Lens for camera scratches easily. Cannot blind dial phone numbers.

I like the wizard because it is so versatile. I don't have to pay to go online and the key board makes it easy for me to text message or to use the Microsoft products that is included in the phone such as Microsoft words and etc.rnrnthe only I don't like is the quality of the camera. It is not as clear as other phones but it is still decent.

The MDA phone works great, and is very useful with many options. I have went throught inside and out playing with all the programs and options the phone offered. My only problem is that I just wish the phone was capable in downloading games and music by itself and didn't need to be connected to a computer just to download.

I went from a Treo to HTC MDA and totally regretting it. The HTC MDA is awful to use. MDA is often dropping my calls and sound quality is poor. I will gladly dish out 400.00 to buy another phone to get rid of this one.

I love my MDA from HTC...I have had this for a year now and I must say that I have been quite pleased with how easy it is to access your e-mails and the Internet...I wish the camera was better and the volume on the phone and videos is rather weak...but I love all the other functions...I like this over the Blackberry.

Hi There, Just thought of sharing my experience with T-MOBILE MDA. It's a fantastic PDA with all the day-to-day features that I needed. The most useful are E-Mail, calender and bunch of office tools like Word, Excel and powerpoint. The phone look and feel is great. The keypad and screen character recognition software is wonderful. The best part is the phone's receiver is very strong. My old phone used to get disconnected in elevators. This phone keeps the connection and I can continue talk in the elevators. The screen is very good and other features like software installation help to get the additionally expand the MDA's usage. I downloaded Google Maps for free on MDA and it's helping great to me .I love t-mobile MDA and certainly would recommend to others. Santy

This phone is way too awsome. If your asking yourself is the HTC MDA phone better than a side the answer Is Heck yeah. By 10 times. You get video with this phone and thats what makes it that much better. I was watching Garden State and T-pain videos on my phone just yesterday. Plus you can touch the screen which is awsome. The phone may take a week or less to get used to but it is awsome and worth it.

Had to sell it after a week of use. MDA as a great organizer, but it is one of the worst phones ever created. If you are in the market for a good PDA with the phone capability, this is your choice. If you are looking for a great phone with PDA, then it is not. Dialing number, especially in the car, is hard because the buttons on a screen are small and you don't feel the number you are dialing like with a regular key pad. Call quality is below average. Voice recognision is not really worth trying it. Bulky....However, windows mobile is very easy to us. You can download many programs for free and enhance its capabilities.

HTC MDA drops calls often and is very bad in the sense that you cannot download ringtones and wallpapers on it. The speakerphone device is awful, even with full volume you cannot hear anything. It does'nt send your text message half the time.
