Sorry --- I meant asking $450 not $550. Fat fingers.

Offering it up to the list before I put it on ebay.

I have an unlocked GSM T-Mobile branded MDAIII, which is a Windows 
Mobile 2003 PDA phone. Various other carriers have the same phone - it's 
known as the Siemens SX66 (without camera), iMate PDA2k, XDAIII, or by 
it's OEM name the HTC Blue Angel.


Specs:

400mhz Intel XScale Processor
128MB RAM
320x240 screen
Slide out backlit keyboard
SDIO/SD slot
802.11b wi-fi
Bluetooth
Quad Band GSM/GPRS
USB Sync

Includes the original box, charger, cradle, manuals, software, etc.

The cool thing is there is a site dedicated to "hacking" these phones 
(http://www.xda-developers.com) and there is a hacked Windows Mobile 5 
firmware that runs on this phone, albeit a little slow for my tastes.


If you have a data plan you can sync with an Exchange server so it acts 
like a poor mans blackberry. Alternately, it can poll POP3 and IMAP 
servers for email and whatnot.


It's a great phone, but I want to get the HP 6515 with internal GPS.

Asking $550.
