The operator has introduced a new Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, but press information does not contain any official specification or which markets will see the new model first.

The T-Mobile MDA III seems to be a GSM version of the CU928, a CDMA 1xRTT Pocket PC Phone Edition launched in the Chinese market in April 2004.

The main features on this new model is the sliding QWERTY keyboard, built-in wi-fi and a 25% increase in battery life when compared with previous models. T-Mobile also says that a Blackberry push e-mail service will be available from the Q4 2004. The PPCW.Net web site lists some leaked configuration, which seems similar to the one found on the CU928:
