Looking at a contract with either the MDA Pro or Vario. The only real difference I can see is the Pro having bluetooth. Can anyone give me a better idea about these phones esp if you own or use one. Is there any other models about to replace these soon?

    AFAIK both have bluetooth (unless you are talking about a free bluetooth headset offer)

    I have had both (and stopped using both). I will just tell you the cons of these 2 mobiles...

    MDA Pro
    - Really Big (could qualify for a miniature laptop)
    - Impossible to keep in a pocket

    MDA Vario
    - Slow (Its 200 Mhz only, while some other mini sized models are 400Mhz)
    - Small but Bulky

    If size is not big deal go for MDA Pro....
    If you dont care if its slow go for MDA Vario.....

    You have no other choice for an MDA with a good size keyboard other than these 2.

    Look for XDA Atom (or T Mob version) for a faster model.

    Many Thanks
