T-Mobile's MDA and SDA - Preorder on the 19th?
"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."
January 19th or February 19th. Whatever the case, just say it with me: "Fiiiinnnaaalllly".

It is about time T-Mobile got back in the Windows Mobile game.

All it took was for me to buy a K-JAM and now T-Mo will be getting it. Granted it will probably have a bunch of t-mo junk on it that I would never have used, but still, the price difference would have been nice.
Although an unlocked device is a nice benefit in case I ever decide to go changing. I emailed T-Mobile a few times after my contract was up to get an unlock code for my 6315 and never got a reply :roll:

I am loving this device. I have the T-mobile version of this HTC wizard model for about a month now.
Don't worry about the extra T-mobile stuff on it or the sim lock on it.
On http://xda-developers.com are extra tools available to solve certain problems.
Now I only use my HP iPAQ hx4700 for my navigation in my car 
Soon I will have a review of the new Pielframa case and the brodit carholder for the HTC wizard devices a.k.a. MDA Vario, Qtek 9010, K-jam and many more.
Keep checking bostonpocketpc.com in the future

I wonder if they've finally fixed the intercarrier SMS disaster.
I had an MPX220 and I couldn't reply to my wife's SMSes from Verizon. I'll definitely give this little guy a go if they've fixed that. I loved my smartphone except for that.

Seems to be an ongoing bug. I just hit New and put my wife's verizon SMS number in and send. THat works ok. A bit of a hassle, but only 4 taps vs 1. The PPC recognizes her on 2 letters.

I did some Googling and supposedly this is fixed with WM5...
At least they have a 14 day return policy so if I manage to pick one up from my super top secret friends at corporate, I can bring it back if it doesn't work 8)

Never occurred to me that this was a WM issue vs a T-Mobile vs Verizon issue. I'll test today.

Just pinged some messages back and forth from my K-Jam on T-Mobile to my wife on Verizon. No problems. Seems to work now. Perhaps it was a Wm2003SE issue. {shrug}
