Register To Get Updates On T-Mobile MDA and SDA Phones
http://www.t-mobile.com/promos/online/preregmdasda/?WT.mc_n=PreRegPromo_PRCol&WT.mc_t=ExternalMedia
"Coming in February 2006, T-Mobile will launch two exciting new handhelds, designed to help keep balance in your busy life, while staying connected to the people who matter most."
Both the MDA (pictured, the sister to the K-Jam, which rocks by the way - :rock on dude! and SDA (the Smartphone with a hump) will both retain WiFi radios, something most carriers like to yank. It helps that T-Mobile has the T-Mo hotpots.

Funny, I called T-Mo on 01/19 and the 2 sales people I spoke with knew less than nothing about this product or the phased-out Ipaq 6315.

I stopped into a T-Mobile store near my office (downtown Chicago) the other day saying that I was "Casually shopping for a new phone." The sales reps there immediately went into the back to get the spec sheets for the MDA & SDA. They actually seemed pretty excited about them.
Now, the date they gave me for the release was "either Feb. 19th or 20th." They were also kind enough to point out that if I was expecting to get one as an upgrade that I should wait a few weeks after the week of the 19-20th.
Do with this information what you will, but I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the release of EITHER of these units!

yeah i was told the 20th of feb when I called... I wonder though, since I won't be eligable for an upgrade since I just resigned and got a new phone 2 months ago.. How much do you think they will sell this phone for w/o contract? Think it will be as expensive as the sites that sell them unlocked? Or should I just have some patience and wait to find out :wink:

I would like the highly recommend the SDA. I have the imate SP5 (very similar to the SDA) and it is absolutely fantastic as a phone, and works great for surfing on WiFi!
The MDA is also great (I had the KJAM previous to my SP5) and the keyboard is fantastic for email and stuff like that. Again builtin WiFi rocks!
