The Wing is based on the HTC Herald design, but that’s not the code name for this HTC Device. The Wing’s code name is the HTC Atlas. I am not 100% sure what the difference in the Herald and Atlas are, but it seems that it’s only the color. The T-Mobile Wing is the follow on product offering to the T-Mobile MDA (aka HTC Wizard). The MDA, just like the Cingular 8125 has been wildly popular among users that are just getting into the Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone arena. Cingular replaced their Wizard variant, the Cingular 8125 with the Cingular 8525 which is very similar to the T-Mobile Wing, but it’s based on the HTC Hermes design.
I carried the HTC Wizard ( T-Mobile MDA ) on/off for most of 2006 and really love the slide out keyboard concept. I wandered off into the Windows Mobile Powered smartphone direction for quite a bit before the Palm Treo 750 became my daily driver. After using the Wing for the last week or so, I am thinking it may be time for a change. I like it. The processor is just good enough, but I really like the look and feel of this one, not to mention I used to love the MDA styling and this is an improvement to it. Now that we’ve added Windows Mobile 6 to this form factor and we have a winner.
The T-Mobile Wing, available exclusively from T-Mobile USA, offers an easy-to-use solution for personal and professional e-mail on the go. Among the first devices in the U.S. shipping with Windows Mobile 6, the T-Mobile Wing is your desktop on the go, keeping you connected with instant access to your e-mail, calendar, contacts and Microsoft Office documents from your pocket-sized phone.
T-Mobile’s myFaves service allows unlimited calling to your Fave5, so you can stay connected with friends, family and colleagues with just one touch.
The compact design includes a large, vibrant and intuitive touch screen, slide-out full computer-like QWERTY keyboard, making it easy to type out a quick e-mail, text message or picture message to your friends, as well as 2MP camera, high speed Internet access, music and video playback, and a smooth soft touch exterior.
The T-Mobile Wing is a powerful way to stay connected with a phone, e-mail and camera in one device without any compromises.
