Since we did not have (yet) specific category for mobile phones, I thought I would start up a topic about a handset, and begin with T-Mobile SDA (A.K.A. HTC Tornado, SP5m).
I would like to hear what owners of SDA like and dislike most about this unit, and also those who bought it with expectation of getting one thing but got something else, could be for positive or negative. For example expecting it to be buggy and slow but it is actually smooth running and speedy at times. Or a lot of background noise being picked up from the mic but actually it does not pick up that much, although it is a candybar type handset.
I am considering getting an SDA, and eventually reviewing it for Mobilitysite, however, since it won't be a trial unit, and will be my primary unit, I don't want to have to return it. If we have anyone in the crowd who can provide some prilimanary feedback, I would appreciate it. For example, does it run J2ME ? Have you had any problems installing what should be a compatible piece of software. Another point is how is the e-mail options, can we set it up to get headers only via wi-fi?
