I guess I am quite a fan when it comes to HTC handheld devices. I think HTC has done more than any other company to promote its smartphones and they are truly excellent products. Recently HTC launched the P4550 Kaiser handset and now known as the TyTN II. T-Mobile MDA Vario III took everything that was good from the TyTN and it is much better. But now I have the first operator branded HTC TyTN II, in the form of the T-Mobile MDA III, and I have a feeling that this could well be the best smartphone option out there.
The great thing about the Vario III is that the changes are subtle though there is significant improvements. Basically, nothing has been done to spoil the recipe of the previous model, but a great deal has been done to improve it. First up, it's ever so slightly slimmer than the TyTN, or the Vario II - not enough to make a massive difference in your pocket, but it is noticeable when the two devices are placed next to each other. Actual measurements are 110 x 58 x 18mm (LxWxD). That said, the Vario III is heavier than the older version, weighing in at 191g compared to 178g.
The whole front fascia of the Vario III is finished in brushed silver, while the back matches this. The central portion of the device is black, creating a sleek and stylish contrast to the design. The 2.8in 240 x 320 is no different from the old model, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Yes, a higher resolution would make browsing standard web pages more convenient, but that's far from the main duty of a smartphone. What you have got is a clear, bright and vivid screen, making it very easy to navigate through the Windows Mobile 6 menus.
Below the screen there's a plethora of buttons to play with. There are two obligatory soft buttons, along with the End and Call buttons. Apart from those button, it also features OK button, Windows button, a Web ‘n' Walk shortcut for T-Mobile's mobile data service and a shortcut messaging services
