Can some one please clarify whether this will be a Class A or Class B gsm/gprs device?

I think you'll have to wait until more information is available. We're still months away from the release.

It would also be interesting to know if it has only a 12-bit color display like the old O2 XDA, or a real 16-bit display like almost all other Pocket PC's.

Just a quick, maybe dumb, question: is this same as XDA II that made the news a week or two ago? The pictures are different...

O2 says the xda II will have 16-bit color.

Deep Green, please read the fourth paragraph of the article.

I am so there! This would be perfect if it could accept iPAQ Expansion Packs.

But Bluetooth will do fine. I'm sure the MDA will be excellent for using T-Mobile's Traffic server in combination with a Bluetooth GPS reciever. http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=por...t=news&id=1824

Another butt-ugly device! Is it built by the same OEM in taiwan, the one that has a host of QC issues?

BTW t-mobile's network truly sucks. During last Thursday's blackout I couldn't make or receive a single phone call for over 24 hours. I tried enough times to completely exhaust a newly charged battery on my t-mobile phone. (Thank God for headsets.)

Do not get t-mobile. Do not trust the nazis.
