The phone is absolutely useless; to begin with, its network capacity to get you connected with the network provider is so weak, you keep getting those messages of missed calls.

Secondly, the software keep crushing (Microsoft's old problem)and the internet takes ages to actually connect; as mentioned above, this is due to the low signal capacity.

Thirdly, the software sleeps, so when you set an appointment using the calendar, the phone is suppose to go on a silent mode (because so I have set it up), but as it fails to act, it remains in normal mode and the phone rang while I was having an interview.

Finally, again connected to its weak capacity to connect with the network provider, the video calling feature does not work at all, it just suggest that one makes a voice call.

I own this phone in the UK and the network provider is T-mobile; probably the phone is fine with other network providers. But the software sleeping issue, is not related to the network provider. So good luck.

my mda compact 4 was a good phone and using bluetooth i could connect to my visor mounted hands free by using voice tags, all you had to do was highlight a contact, go into memory, click on add voice tag then speak the contacts name into the phone, job done, you can now phone any of your contacts by saying there name into the hands free. unfortunately i dropped and broke this phone and through i was given a mda compact 5 unfortunately this "better" model does not seem to have this feature but believe you can buy it as a AP for about £20. any comments?.

Can Any tell me for sure if this phone will come to TMobile USA anytime soon? The Tmobile here are not known for carrying attractive phones. I would love to see this phone come to TMo USA and even the Vario 5, but I much prefer not having a slide out keyboard.

> In reply to LarryG @ 2009-07-28 02:34 from 0RxVThe Compact V is a full touchscreen phone whereas the vario IV has the facility to slide the screen to reveal a Qwerty keyboard as well as being a touchscreen. All the features bar this are near enough identical. I work in T Mobile upgrade dept and both are popular phones it just comes down to preference. I personally prefer the Compact V as it's slimer and looks nicer. Also it is newer than the Vario IV bu only by a few months.
