T-Mobile Delays 'Universal' (MDA IV) Release Till Autumn
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 06:00 PM
"T-Mobile's German operation has put back the release of its clamshell 3G-enabled Windows Mobile smart phone to the Autumn, according to the company's web site. The MDA IV, made by Taiwan's HTC and also known by its codename, 'Universal', was originally due to ship in the Summer, T-Mobile said when it announced the handset early in February this year. . . . It's unclear at this stage why the delay has arisen. One possibility is a pause to allow the device to ship with Windows Mobile 2005, aka 'Magneto', the next major revision of Microsoft's smart phone operating system"
Not the best news. :| The Autumn seems a lot later away then the Summer now we are just entering Spring. The Register article also mentions the new Samsung's 3GB hard drive-based handset, the i300 and speculates how everyone may be in the same situation of having to wait for Windows Mobile 2005. Still, I can and will wait for this Pocket PC. (I hope). :wink:
