T-Mobile's newest import from Europe, the SDA smartphone, features almost everything you could think of jamming into it's tiny little case, including quad-band GSM/EDGE, WiFi, and a QVGA screen, all at an absurdly low price. The SDA is, like most Windows-based phones available today, a product of High Tech Computer of Taiwan. The device that T-Mobile sells as the SDA is also knownS as the HTC Tornado, and is sold under a variety of different names, some including slight design changes. While this is primarily a review of the SDA, most of its contents also apply to other Tornado variants, such as the i-mate SP5m, QTEK 8300, and Xda Xphone. The Tornado is also very similar to the HTC Faraday, better known as the Cingular 2125, that we recently reviewed. While the specs are nearly the same, the SDA includes WiFi while the 2125 does not. Differing software implementations for the two devices may also result in varied performance. See less
Highlights:
Although the SDA has a suggested retail price of $300, it can be gotten for well under a hundred dollars with new activation.
