And at that time we did not have any photos or the name of the carrier/vendor. Now that 30th September deadline has passed, the FCC is no longer under any obligation to protect the identity. The HTC Tornado will be launched by T-Mobile and it will be known as the T-Mobile SDA. :clap: We still don't know the official launch date. I hope it is sooner than the first quarter of 2006. :-) Overall, the good news is that this Smartphone will definitely have Wi-Fi, EDGE and Quad-band GSM. And that T-Mobile will be launching it. Meanwhile sit back, relax and dig through the FCC documents. From looking at the photos, it seems like the odd bulge at the top of the SDA is for a bigger or better antenna. The original HTC Tornado model does not have it. It seems like T-Mobile has requested for a slight modification to improve signal reception for its US model. ;-) Makes sense, considering that models with internal antennas don't do well here in the US because of the spotty GSM coverage in some areas. Figure 1: Better view of the top. Figure 2: The back side looks boring. The bulge accentuates it. Figure 3: The reason behind the bulge - bigger antenna. Figure 4: What you can expect in the box. :-) Figure 5: T-Mobile knows how to pamper its customers. ;-) Figure 6: The reason why we want this phone; it has built-in 802.11b Wi-Fi support. Wonder what the Wi-Fi Data Call means. :? Does it mean that it will come loaded with Skype or Skype like VoIP application.
