Filed under: Handsets, T-Mobile, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE

T-Mobile’s MDA Basic is just that friends, a no muss no fuss affair for those looking for more than a feature phone — at least in some regards — can offer, at bargain basement prices. We’ve covered all the details on the HTC Touch Viva set, but to refresh it includes a 2 megapixel camera, GSM / EDGE, TouchFLO 2D, WiFi, and even GPS. It’s a bit mad that basic sets now includes things we only could dream about a couple years ago, GPS in a Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device is always OK with us. This set should stumble into retail in early February for about €4.95 (roughly .50) on a two year contract.
