Newbie vario 2 any good?

[skip24ftlb]

Hi everyone.

Im looking at getting the vario 2. Is it any good? I did try a mda compact2 and the original vario, but thought they were pants. My nokia 6630 opened apps faster. Along with battery life on the vario, it needed a nuclear power cell. In the end gave it a miss.

So whats improved and is the vario2 deaf on the wifi side? Is the going to be an mda pro 2??? Worth waiting or take the plunge or just stay clear of the vario 2. Is the pro a better unit?

Thanks for your time

Paul

The battery life on the Vario 1 was unheard of in the realm of pda/phones. It was very very good.

The Vario 2's battery life is not as good, probably due to the faster processor and faster data rates.

So if you thought the vario 1 was pants due to battery life (which is surprising statement), you can forget the vario 2.

Coming from a nokia, the battery life or lack of in comparison, was quite shocking. To be fair, what ever phone I use, its constantly searching for phone transmitters due to nature of my job. Nature of the beast I suppose.

I did feel the compact2 and the original vario were very slow in operation.

Is the vario 2 a big improvement speed and power wise though?
