"We're not sure when they're actually gonna drop, but T-Mobile phoned home to let us know that their long awaited MDA and SDA are set for pre-order on the 19th (that'd be this Thursday, unless for some reason they meant February 19th). Unfortunately it looks like the Tornado gained the same unsightly bulge Cingular's 2125 did when it hit the streets on its US release, but better here and uglier than not here at all (except but by import), right? We know it'll be for Q1 release, but stay tuned for exact details on pricing, release dates, availability, etc."



They were doing fine until they called it the "unsightly bulge"! Uglier? Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. At any rate T-Mobile is finally joining the party with these devices. I hope that date holds.

:drool:

Must come back to senses. :twak: I am no longer with T-Mobile. I am with Cingular. And I am in love with the 2125.

and you already have a nice humpphone!

Didi I say Humpphone? :twak:

[fruehling]

About damn freekin time! I am so glad i was patient and waited. I want this so much. And i WANT the hump. I am so tired of barely being able to speak at all inside my house. I need that reception boost. Now lets get this thing released!

Any idea if either of these will have Wi-Fi?

[San Fermin]

how do T-mobile's data plans work (cost)?

checked T-mobile's website and the closest thing would be a sidekick unlimited data plan for $29... but someone on the engadget site mentions that they get unlim. data with a 4.99 T-zones plan.

can you really get unlimited data with a 4.99 plan?

is this similar to Cingular pushing $40+ data plans for the 2125/5600 when you only need a $19.99 MediaNet plan?

Somehow I doubt that TMo will begin selling both phones on 2/19. TMo is known for repeated delays.

It is rumored that the T-Mo version will have WiFi, but we don't know for sure.

I don't think Cingular is pushing the $40 plan for the 2125 and 5600. I have the 2125, and am paying only $20 for the MEdia Net plan.

The $40 plan is for the PDA class devices only. Don't ask me why they have this weird pricing. We shouldn't really complain as long as 2125 requires only the $20 plan. ;-)
