I want to see T-Mo spit out 3G already though.

Not only that but I'm hoping the Xperia can be bought with a plan?

That may be wishful thinking though?

Not too much is known yet but T-Mobile has unveiled today that the German mobile operator will show its latest Windows Mobile Professional smartphone during this week's CeBIT. T-Mobile Germany calls it the "MDA compact IV" and according to Deutsche Telekom's press release, it will features a an exclusive T-Mobile design, HSDPA, a 3 megapixel autofocus camera, 4 GB internal memory and a VGA (640x480) touchscreen.

While T-Mobile hasn't unveiled a photo of the device yet, it can be expected that this is another Windows Mobile smartphone and Deutsche Telekom released this rendering (which clearly shows a Windows Mobile Standard smartphone rather than a Professional smartphone which the compact IV has to be if it features a touchscreen):

With a 24 months Relax 100 plan, the MDA compact IV will be available from May 2008 for 111 Euro.

UPDATE: Sources close to the company confirmed us that the new MDA compact IV is based on a new, yet unknown HTC Windows Mobile Professional smartphone which most likely runs on Windows Mobile 6.1. Other expected features are quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and triband UMTS/HSDPA up to 7.2 Kbps, Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi b/g. GPS support isn't confirmed yet.]]>Mar 4th 2008 2:16AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/Mar 4th 2008 6:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/Mar 4th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/Mar 4th 2008 2:54AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/Mar 4th 2008 6:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/

The only disappointment for me will be if the Physical Screen size is still 2.8 inches. Something slightly bigger like 3-3.5...dare i say similar screen size to a certain touch screen phone...

...I was talking about LG Viewity of course.lol!]]>Mar 4th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.phonemag.com/t-mobile-mda-compact-iv-at-cebit-2008-031486.php

This looks ultra sexy! Flatter & wider. Maybe my wish will come true afterall.

can anyone who's seen this in the flesh give us a rough comparison in physically size?]]>Mar 4th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/Mar 4th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/03/t-mobile-trotting-out-monster-spec-mda-compact-iv/
I Doubt this will have a slide out keyboard as the MDA compact line in the EU has always been devices without a keyboard.

They tend to release the devices with a slide out keyboard under the MDA Vario brand.

With the shape of it and the flsuh touch screen, i still think it looks like a new variant of the Polaris. At least T-Mobile EU aren't removing the Wifi Hardware in this one, like they did from the Excalibur and the Artemis!]]>Mar 5th 2008 5:55AM
