T-Mobile Getting the HTC Tornado in October
"We’ve received confirmation from several different sources now that T-Mobile is going to be the first (and possibly only) US carrier to get its hands on the HTC Tornado (aka the Qtek 8310), that new Windows Mobile-powered Smartphone that comes with built-in WiFi and a QVGA display. Better yet, they’re aiming for a $200 price point (with a one year contract, natch) and probably won’t be crippling Bluetooth on the phone. Not sure what it’ll be called when it turns up on T-Mobile (it definitely won’t be called the Qtek 8310 or the HTC Tornado), but we did have a chance to play around with this phone for a few minutes yesterday. All we gotta say (for now) is that the QVGA display is totally slick."  I don't want to jinx the chances by saying anything. :worried:

I was planning on moving to Cingular, for the sake of better coverage. But now I will stick around and even sign a one year contract. :P

Even though it is going to be on T-mobile, does anyone know if it is going to remain quad band?

Unfortunately Jerry, Motorola has let us all down. Now don't get me wrong; I am not down on the Q. But based on their record of the last 2 years I am expecting a device made of substandard parts wrapped in the cheapest plastic case they can produce. And then there is the firmware...
