HTC Wizard Coming Sooner Than Expected?

PPCT reader Darren Behan writes in with the news that Smart Devices Direct is listing September 5th as the shipping date for the Qtek 9100 (e.g., a branded version of the Wizard). This is earlier than the October date that we speculated on earlier, although it's entirely possible Cingular itself may not carry the device until then (if at all).
In addition, PPCT reader Paragon writes in with his good news: "I managed to get one of 20 being shipped to MadMonkeyBoy (David Weiniger) He says he is told they will be shipped to him next week, so it looks like the Wizard MAY be available sooner than we thought." If this is indeed the case, it suggests HTC is ahead of production schedule, and the Wizard does look like a great device. 8)
