They've got some photos of the Qtek 8300, 8310, 9000 and the 9100. The Qtek 9000 is the HTC Universal - coming soon from on several networks. However the one I'm really keen on is the Qtek 9100, which should be out as the Orange SPV M600 / M3000 amongst other names. Although all of these handsets are fantastic, I'm keeping my eye on the Qtek 9100 - which has the form factor (small enough to use as a "normal phone" but still a Pocket PC Phone) and the sideways-slide-out keyboard. This could be one hot-selling handset."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-sept05-qtek83xxphotos.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />The more photographs I see of the black <a href="http://www.newmobile.nl/Image_Viewer.php?Toem_nr=10210">Qtek 8310,</a> the more I want this Smartphone. :drool: Get your drool buckets ready, because NewMobile.nl has published the photo gallery for the upcoming Qtek models.

The more photographs I see of the black Qtek 8310, (http://www.newmobile.nl/Image_Viewer.php?Toem_nr=10210) the more I want this Smartphone. :drool:

You have no idea how cool that phone really is. I was able ot hold one in my hands yesterday - if only for a minute. And it is a beautiful phone. Simply beautiful. I am a little concerned that the home, back, left, and right softkeys are all on the same level, and are all right up beside each other. I found it hard to feel out the key I wanted without looking first.

I would have supplied pictures too, if my camera didn't break yesterday morning! :evil: :evil:

Thanks Mike. Thanks for the torture. :cry: Now I won't be able to concentrate on anything for the rest of the day..this weekend.

We have to wait till October end for the phone to launch. And I have to wait till my wallet is full. :-(

Are we sure it's the end of October now for tmpbile to get this phone? I had previously heard just October.

End of october isn't as fun.... :lol:

Will the 8310 have Wifi when it releases on T-Mo?

That was one of my concerns too. If I were to pick between the two, I'd probably go for the 8300 - much better button layout (despite the 8310's awesome black tones).

I would have supplied pictures too, if my camera didn't break yesterday morning! :evil: :evil:

Ugh, I hate it when that happens. :( Hopefully it won't cost you too much to fix.

From my searches online, it appears that this problem is a very common problem with the Canon S400. It tends to happen around the two year mark - when the warranty has run out. From what I've read, Canon estimating the problem to be $150-$300 to fix. :evil:

Nobody knows for sure at this time. Well, no one but T-Mo. ;)

It looks like HTC is allowing its customers to pick this device with or without WiFi, so it's really hard to know what the carrier is planning until it's actually been released. :(

Right, we have just heard October, so worst case would be the end of October. Hopefully, it won't come to that, but one never knows. :)

eXpansys Canada has it (i-mate SP5) for October 15. It is essentially the same phone as the Qtek, isn't it?

Wow! That went from 7 days down to 2 days overnight! :shocked!:

There's a chance I could be playing with one of these by the weekend folks! :rock on dude!:

[kmichalec]

Mine got shipped out today from Expansys (UK). It should arrive either tomorrow or Thursday. As soon as I get it, I'll let you know what it appears to have on it and give my first impression.

Hello, SP5. Goodbye MPx220...!

I can barely contain my excitement!! :D
