I like it, it's a nice pda, but I haven't had a chance to properly test it so I couldn't recommed it just yet.

Hi, does the UK T-Mobile MDA Compact III have wi-fi? I'm asking this question, because the German T-Mobile version doesn't have built-in wi-fi, but the Dutch version has it :)

Ordered mine today for delivery tomorrow. I could have queued up in the Oxford St. store but decided that it'd be quicker to get it delivered.

I hope that it does have wifi but if it doesn't at least I'll save £10 per month on my hotspot access! I was offered Copilot with it but declined as I already have TomTom 6. Does anyone know if it has TomTom in ROM?

Got mine on Friday and suprisingly there is no Wi Fi built in... this is a pretty serious problem as the website states it does!

Phil,

There is no TomTom on the rom although TomTom 6 runs perfectly on it, just select COM4 under other GPS unit.

I knew it was too good to be true. No wifi is a major bummer. WHY:confused:

It now appears that despite there being stock (I know this!) there is no mention of the phone on the site after I sent an email enquiring why it was advertised as having wi-fi and not actually having it.

With the correct version of TTN6 loaded you get an option to select "Built-In GPS receiver" if you have loaded TTN6 on to your device can you check a couple of things:
1/ does the roller ball control the volume level?
2/ does the roller wheel control the map zoom level
3/ does the roller wheel skip through the menu pages
Only interested to see if its version specific or does TTN6 work with this hardware as a matter of fact - Mike

Picked it up from the post office today. Very nice little unit. Complicated to use, as im not used to a PDA device, but im getting used to it. Gotta get Tom Tom 6 installed ASAP. :D

1) Yes scrolling the rollerball left and right controls the volume for the voice from the main screen

2) No, the roller ball moves the cursor but the roller whell has no function

3) No but the roller ball allows you to scroll through the menu items.
