I'd like to suggest the Oscar Schmidt OU5LCE, it's a concert but it plays pretty loudly and deep for it's smaller size. Unlike its OU5 counterpart, this one has an electric pickup (which sounds great), and a long, tenor-sized neck for bigger fingers.
It's a pretty instrument and in my opinion is a good cross between sounding like a "cheerful" Soprano and a deeper tenor. It holds a tune great after the first week or so and seems pretty sturdy.
Also, if you do get it and get a case afterwards, make sure the case is a tenor because the long neck won't fit in anything smaller.
If you really want a tenor, I think the Kala KA-GAT is a good one. It's surprisingly light weight and comfortable and definitely sounds a lot deeper than any concert. Though when you pick instead of strum, they all sound the same. It's beautiful, but closer to three hundred than two.
Also get a tenor case for this one.
Personally I'd recommend the first one, as it's cheaper and a better starting place. I think most people hear "lighter" sounding ukuleles in popular music, so if you're going for something to make you sound like the guy from Hey Soul Sister, go with a concert or Soprano. Also, no matter what you do, unless there's one built into the uke, buy this tuner, it's awesome (And it works for both tenor and baritone, which has different tuning).
Could send me it if you want :D If not, you could get this tuner. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherub-WST-550U-Clip-On-Ukulele-Tuner/dp/B000WEH44Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377010268&sr=8-1&keywords=ukulele+tuner
Very cheap and easy to use.
When I started, I had a friend teach me some chords, but I also found this youtube channel to be quite useful. He has a playlist on getting started. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheUkuleleTeacher
