T-Mobile MDA Vario IV Design and Build

Design and Build

The MDA Vario IV is designed with a compact body, measuring 102 x 51 x 18.1 mm and weighing in at 165 grams. Its dimensions made it portable, yet substantial enough to feel robust in hand. It features a sliding QWERTY keyboard, which was highly appreciated by users who preferred tactile feedback for typing. The device was built to accommodate a Mini-SIM and featured a resistive touchscreen that supported 65K colors and a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels, offering good clarity for its time.
