Hi all

Since yesterday I own an MDA Pro, bought by my friend in Germany (Thanks!!)

Please be aware: This device is in german AND it has a SIM-LOCK!!

For the rest the device really rocks... some few things are not perfect but the device itself is :-)

Hi Dumdidum,

Congratulations on your new acquisition. I am sure you are enjoying every bit of it, and you should :)

Firstly, could you explain a little more about the things that you found to be a problem on the device? What did you think was not perfect?

Secondly, could you tell us something about the Bluetooth Stack of the device? Is there a Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP)? Can you voice dial using a BT headset? There is a small button the MDA Pro called "voice control". Is it only for voice recroding or are there any other voice related functions you can use it for?

Thirdly, how comfortable is it to use as a regular phone in comparison to the T-Mobile MDA III. Is there a gross difference or a minimal difference?

Lastly, When can we expect to see a "first impression" mini-review from you. Also, if you could post some pictures of your device including the packaging, we would be very grateful.

Best Regards,
Docc.

Hi Dumdidum,
I'm very interesting to know the video resolution that Universal can take. And can it use like a normal USB drive through its USB port? And, is the text are too small to read on Internet Explorer with 640x480 resolution?

2 questions:
Can you listen music or use voice dialing with bluetooth headset?
Can you dump the ROM with this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861 or this test program - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861&start=75#149665 and share it with us?

Can you dump the ROM with this tool ...

Hi mamaich,

I tried both tools on my MDA Pro.

grab_it : Claims that it cannot create the file.

Testdump : starts, but after a while locks up the device. Process bar is about the half...it created a dump file with about 57,8 MB...

Cheers

I think that is because your device is in german and maybe storage card is named something else (in german)?

Yep..should have found out that by myself ;)

Anyway..good news for those who bought their device from T-Mobile in germany: T-Mobile will give out the unlock code for free to all people who bought it without a contract (749€). I just phoned the simlock-hotline and the woman said that she will send me my unlock code via email soon (next 2-3 days).

Can't wait..still debugging...

hope this helps somehow

cheers
