Amazon.com Product Description
The successor to the popular MDA Smartphone, the T-Mobile Wing quad-band phone has a surprise waiting up its sleeve: just slide the top of the phone sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. It's especially handy with the inclusion of the new Windows Mobile 6 operating system, which enables you to view and edit Word and Excel documents as well as provides instant message capabilities via Windows Live Messenger. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) The included Outlook Mobile software offers up-to-date e-mail, calendar and contact information. If you use the T-Mobile Wing in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server, you can get instant e-mail from your work account as well as enhanced security features that let you clear data from a device if it is stolen or require high-security passwords to access information. 
The T-Mobile slides open sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, and the screen reorients itself depending on how you hold the phone. |

- Support for Microsoft Office Mobile enables document viewing and editing
- Windows Live for Windows Mobile including Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Hotmail, Live Search, and Windows Live Spaces

The T-Mobile Wing has a sleek profile that measures just 17mm (0.7 inches) thick, and it weighs a svelte 6 ounces (with battery loaded). The 2.8-inch color touchscreen transreflective TFT screen automatically orients itself depending on how you hold the phone (i.e., from portrait to landscape and back again). It displays 65,000 colors and has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution. You can scroll through onscreen functions with a pen or finger, or you can use the function buttons placed on the front of the phone. In addition to supporting GSM/GPRS and EDGE, the Wing also features Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), which enables you to use open wireless networks (as well as T-Mobile's more than 8,000 HotSpot locations) to access the Internet as well as access all four major instant messaging providers--AOL, Yahoo!, Windows Live Messenger, and ICQ. With the Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, you can go hands-free with a headset or listen to music with wireless-enabled headphones. The phone offers 128 MB of ROM (which stores the Windows Mobile 6 operating system and applications) and 64 MB of RAM (which can be used to store user files). It's powered by a 1130 mAh lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery, which offers between 150 and 200 hours of standby time and 3 to 5 hours of talk time. 
A small mirror next to the 2-megapixel lens on the back is handy for taking self portraits.. | The 2-megapixel autofocus camera (with 10x digitazl zoom) on the back of the Wing captures images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels (good enough for prints up to 8 x 10 inches), and it includes a small mirror to the left of the lens that's helpful for taking self portraits. You can make such camera adjustments as white balance and exposure metering, choose from several capture modes (such as sports for fast-moving action), or set a self-timer of either 2 or 10 seconds. After an image has been captured, you can edit it right within the Wing, with functions ranging from cropping to correcting color. Additionally, the Wing can capture video with or without audio (in MPEG-4 or H.263 format, the latter being best for sending via MMS). In addition to starting and stopping video capture at your leisure, you can also specifiy the length of a recording in terms of ime or file size. You can also play back audio and video files downloaded from the Internet or sent to you via email using the integrated Windows Media Player. Powered by Windows Mobile 6
Windows Mobile 6 adds power to your mobile office with up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars. |  
Edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets on your phone, just as you would on your desktop/laptop PC. | Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 updates the Windows Mobile 5 platform with a number of handy features that make searching through email, editing Microsoft Office documents, and staying on top of your most important communications even easier. Emails can now be viewed in their original rich HTML format and now offer the ability to visit embedded links. It also includes Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which provides a full set of Windows Live services, such as the Windows Live Messenger IM application, which now enables you to chat with more than one person at one time or send a file. With Windows Mobile 6, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations. - Microsoft Office Word Mobile features include spell-check, Find and Replace commands, bulleted lists, text formatting, and support for tables for the first time.
- With Excel Mobile, you're not just confined to editing charts: with the new Chart Wizard you can create charts quickly and easily.
- PowerPoint Mobile allows you to view the full presentation, rehearse timings, check the order and any live links you may have in your presentation. You can then email comments back to the team or communicate via MSN Messenger for an immediate response.
- After creating or editing a Word document or Excel spreadsheet, you can synchronize it with your PC and it will automatically be converted to the PC version.
All Windows Mobile 6 powered devices include Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server. It also offers a set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way. The HTC P4350 uses an 1130 mAh Polymer battery for its energy. This high capacity battery offers a standby time of 150 hours and a call time of 3 hours, according to the manufacturer.

 The iPhone killer is here July 25, 2007

I bought the Wing after comparing it to other like phones and went with it because of WiFi. I can use the WiFi feature in my house, so I can look stuff up on the Web while watching TV.
My Jawbone Bluetooth headset paired with the Wing with no problems. The voice commands work with the Jawbone.
I get better phone reception in my house with T-Mobile than I did with at&t.
I also bought a 2G microSD for the Wing to store images.
I like the note-writing ability of the stylus; although, my handwriting sucks.
My hands are small enough that I can type Word documents on the Wing. I am so glad I did not pay $600 for iPhone plus the $60 a month fee.
Extremely Happy with my Wing December 6, 2007

I'll keep this as simple as I can.
Windows Mobile is for users who enjoy configuring and playing with the OS, business users, etc. If you want something super simple to text message and what not, grab a Sidekick.
For me, I use my Wing with an exchange server and directpush to sync my outlook, emails, etc. It works like a champ. Another cool feature of this phone is it's ability to act as a modem for your laptop. It takes about 30 seconds of configuration (programs >> accessories >> internet sharing, set "usb" and "wmodem link") and plug it in, voila, unlimited internet on my laptop, no crazy charges, providing you have the dataplan, which you will most likely anyways.
I have overclocked my phone to 260mhz to speed things up using "Battery Status" and have no real performance issues, I use Opera Mini web browser and it's cool as hell. Another REALLY amazing app I suggest is S2U2 - it's a lock screen that allows you to slide2unlock much like iphones, plus it gives you visual prompts of missed calls, messages, etc... REALLY cool.
I also suggest grabbing the latest version of Live Search too. Plus the phone comes with Live Messenger on it, and it's full featured, you can send pictures via IM, voice clips, and obviously messages with ease, and it works great.
The phone's keyboard slides out nicely and works great, the camera is pretty good as well.
At the end of the day, with a little configuration and customization, you can really go a long ways with this phone. It's been a champ for me for the last 6 months of daily use, battery life is great too.
I'm just not sure what to really complain about here.
Very good phone...a bit overpriced..... September 10, 2007

I just upgraded to the T-Mobile Wing by HTC. I am very happy with one exception. There is a defect in the camera. A white dot annoyingly appears on the screen when I open the camera application. It was a hassle to get the phone replaced, but T-Mobile finally agreed to send a new phone without me first having to send the old phone back. However, I did have to threaten cancellation of my service to get them to agree. Why should I be without a phone, after plucking down 300 big ones? Anyway, as far as the phone goes, again I am very happy minus the setback. After using the phone for a week I have not noticed any speed issues. I usually run one application at a time, as most people do, so speed is not an issue. I read several reviews where people were concerned with the 200mhz processor being too slow, but if it adds battery life I will take that trade off. The wi-fi is a breeze to setup, and a big plus. Everywhere I go I have wi-fi so I don't have the need for the 3G network. If you don't have wi-fi, and don't mind adding to your monthly bill for 3G, you might be more happy with another phone on another network. Windows Mobile 6 is a nice upgrade over previous versions I have owned, its a more streamlined experience. The phone is definitely one of the more attractive smart phones on the market, with its deep blue rubberized skin. I think the phone is $100 overpriced at $299, considering the iphone just dropped to $399, but as happy as I am I see using this phone for quite a while.
Very very nice value for money December 10, 2007

I wanted a multipurpose phone ( not a home theater in a box phone).
The phone has very fast GPRS internet access. We used this phone to get around the city on our recent visit to orlando.
Download Google Maps or use Live Search for map service. You can also use it as a GPS receiver (pair with GPS like Magellan 3140) and you are all set.
I did not want the blackberry cos the keyboard make the phone look big and this problem was solved with this machine. The slide in keryboard is very nice.
The touch keyboard is reponsive, not the best but good for all purposes.
The phone performs very well when used as a phone. Absolutely no dropped calls, nice speaker phone ( i liked the RAZRs speaker phone better), good Address book. Camera/video camera is mediocre at best, and I have a 2GB micros SD card which resolved all my memory issues.
Absolutely wonderful value for money device.
Amazing Gadget! October 20, 2007

I don't care what anyone says, the wing is an amazing piece of gadget. The phone out of the box is good, but with a couple tweaks and elbow grease here and there, the wing is one of the best phones out there right now. The wing is really a million gadgets in one. This little wonder is a watch, calculator, portable video player, computer, iPod, tv, calendar, organizer, telephone, portable video game player, camera, video camera, etc. in one electronic package. I acquired this phone for an unbeatable price of $50. Now, if I gave you $50, can you make something comparable to this device? I didn't think so. The value of this wunderphone is unchallenged. Which is why I love this phone.
