Marking the arrival of the first Windows Mobile 5.0 communicator to offer 3G connectivity, T-Mobile starts shipping the thumbboard-equipped MDA Pro, complete with VGA swivel screen.

Further confirming its position as the foremost early adopter of new mobility software from Microsoft, mobile network operator T-Mobile today announced the September 1st availability of its MDA Pro - previously known as the T-Mobile MDA IV - communicator in Germany. Not only the first device to hit shelves based on Windows Mobile 5.0, the MDA Pro is also the first Windows Mobile device to offer 3G connectivity - as well as a swivel screen.

Brimming with features, the MDA Pro measures in at a considerable 128 x 81 x 25 mm and 285 g with a clamshell form factor which opens to allow access to its thumbboard and 65K colour display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The device can be used in either palmtop or tablet configurations, as the screen half swivels 180 degrees and closes to cover the thumbboard.

Powered by a 520 MHz PXA270 processor, the MDA Pro integrates an array of connectivity options including tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz; one band less than its quad-band predecessor, the MDA III, but compensates by adding support for WCDMA 2100 MHz - or 3G, as it is less cryptically dubbed. GPRS Class 10 is also present, as is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b, Infrared and USB 2.0, rendering MDA Pro the most capable communicator to date with regard to connectivity.

Other highlights include dual cameras for 3G video calls, one of which is front-mounted and bears a resolution of 0.3 MP, whilst its back-mounted counterpart boasts a resolution of 1.3 MP.

Claiming a standby time of up to 260 hours and talk time of up to 8 hours from its 1620 mAh exchangeable Lithium Ion battery, the T-Mobile MDA Pro will be available in Germany from September 1st, starting at €430 EUR with subscription.
