Some other questions about MDA2

[KTamas]

Hi all

I decided that i won't buy mda1, but i found MDA2 for montly fee, so maybe I'll buy it but i have a few questions.
1. How good is the D-Pad for gaming? Is there any problem with games on this device?
2. How about the battery? Is it good?
3. Which SD Card do you recommend?

Thanks,

1. How good is the D-Pad for gaming? Is there any problem with games on this device?

In general is Okay. I mean, I have played several games with it and it works fine, except for Flux Challenge, which by it's nature, it's hard to control. Games like Street Duel and others work great. The only anoying thing is not in the D-Pad itself, but the other programmable buttons, unfortunatley you can't use the phone (answer and hang-up) buttons for gaming.

2. How about the battery? Is it good?

It depends, the first months of usage it tends to last less but that's a combinaton of factors, one, the battery starts to last a bit longer after about 5 charge cycles and two as time goes by, you will tend to use it a little less once the new toy gets old. In general I tend to charge it every three days or so with a few games here and there, as well as basic PIM and other wireless tasks like phone and MMS messaging.

3. Which SD Card do you recommend?

Any SD card will do for basic storage, but if you plan to use it like for mutimedia (videos) and such, try to get a high performance SD card, they are more expensive but worthwhile.

I hope this helps...
