 NOT SO BAD PEOPLE - JUST NEEDS A TWEAK! September 4, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
If you own this phone then you are not a luddite. With a few tweaks the phone is excellent. I highly recomend installing "BatteryStatus" and overclock the processor. The program is found here: [...]. I overclocked my wing to 299mhz and it makes a huge difference. Prior to overclock, I could not stream video from my orb server. After OC, no stuttering. The program lets you overclock dynamically (to save battery life) directly from the today screen. It also comes with additional tools that display mem usage, battery drain, etc. I have been running it for 2 weeks and checked all message boards before installing it. ITS SAFE - Just make sure you do not set the option to have it overclock on a soft reboot (if it causes an issue for you, it could reboot you into the same issue). The only problem I had was skype at 299mhz. I had to lower it to 247mhz to prevent the wing from freezing. After that I have skyped for hours without any freeze. Do your self a favor and give this a shot - you will be very impressed with what the wing can do.
Lastly, if you travel alot, try WorldMate, it runs perfect on the phone, costs less then 30 bucks, and provides everything a world traveler needs (weather, airline schedules, flight checker, currency converter, etc - most can be updated over wifi or edge).

The only thing I didn't like about this phone was it's 201 MHZ chip other than that it's 5 stars, for today's PDA technology. *****
Pro's:
Silding keyboard
slimer then other pda's
Battery life is O.K
Lots of features, more than meets the eye.
Lots of camera features.
Con's:
I bit hard to set up Windows live.
Wi-fi is not the best, but Edge-tech is better on this phone.
Camera Quality could be better
201 MHZ chip, could be higher but it's o.K.
A little slow on video playback.
 Disappointment August 22, 2007

I have used the T Mobile MDA for about a year. I was mostly satisfied with the MDA. My only complaint was at times it was very sluggish and could not handle too many applications before choking. I bought the "Wing" knowing that it would suffer the same performance problems but may have some improvements being an HTC second generation product with Windows Mobile 6. Boy was I wrong. First, the rubberized paint looks cool and provides a better grip, but taking the phone out of your pocket or the belt holder is a struggle. Many times it results in inadvertently answering a call while struggling to retrieve the phone. This happens because the buttons on the phone are so flimsy and sensitive that the slightest pressure results in a button press. The keys are larger on the keyboard than the MDA which for me results in more false key presses since it is easier to straddle more than one key at a time while typing. I like the black keypad, the blue back lighting, and the "Caps" and "Alt" leds. I also like the spring loaded opening of the keyboard. What I don't like is that the keyboard always wants to open and gives the phone a very cheap and flimsy feel. This has become worse over use (only 1 month). The "Windows" start button and "Ok" button make it easy to use the Wing without a stylus. This is probably the greatest strength over the MDA (plus the stylus is also non-telescoping). Another irritation is that the SD Memory card cover and the USB port cover are a cheap, flimsy, rubber cap that constantly pop open and never stay in place. If you have an MDA, keep it. You will be disappointed with the Wing. If this is your first Pocket PC, beware that the Wing is not the best representation.
Cool phone in need of a slight make over August 21, 2007

I've had the T-mobile wing for almost a week now and overall I'm pretty impressed. I've read complaints about speed but my phone connects and send and receives data very fast. I like the Windows component and appreciate the business like setting but I hoped for a few more "fun" features. The Camera works very well with many options. The volume on calls are not loud enough for me but sounds better when using a bluetooth headset. The battery life is not long at all and has to stay on charge frequently. Being able to use a stylus is great and I really like the note feature which enables you to write on the face of the phone as you would on paper. I like that the screen orients itself when you slide it open and that your favorite five people can be on the "Today" menu The QWERTY keyboard is very useful for text messaging, composing e-mails etc, the predictive text function is wonderful. At times I do wish that the slide out screen was not completely flat but if you hold it up texting is not difficult. I like that you can dial a number with the voice command as well as command several phone features with your voice and that numbers can be dialed with the stylus or your finger with the on screen keypad The design is nice. Phone is well built and has a classy yet sturdy look. Maybe I'm a big kid because again the Windows program and all is very useful for work and schedules and such but I miss the usual icons and some of the other fun features on most cell phones. This does come with two installed games. You cannot download wallpapers, ring tones etc if you are into that but you can transfer your own pics from your phone or pc with the included usb cable and change your background screen. Again my complaints may be nothing much to some people but if your going to shell out the dough then you need all the info you can. It also has windows media and you can create your own playlists. I was also able to compose my phone book entries online at T-mobile and it was downloaded to my phone. Also please invest the little money needed and purchase a memory card cause the phones memory goes very quickly. Overall the phone is a powerhouse and if you have internet it is even better.
I go between loving the wing and occassionally wanting to throw it out the window August 5, 2007

With T-Mobile's unlimited internet, I'am able to skip outlook synching because I can access my workmail via webmail- I love that (i'm not sure why this feature turns me on!). The complete internet plan is much more affordable than what I had with Cingular. That said, T-Mobile's coverage and speed is not as good. But since this is a review on the Wing, I'll progress. Windows 6 is very user friendly. My previous phone that was 2 years old was lighter, but I had to consistenly pull out the owner's manual for info. With win6, if you can use windows on a PC, then you can use about 80% of this phone's features- gotta appreciate simplicity. So it's more user friendly. I love the MS office with adobe that comes pre-installed. I can really utilize docs, excell, pdfs very easily. The voice quality is neither better nor worst than before. I like the internet sharing, but if there's wifi, I will use my laptop instead of sharing. The tmobile GPRS/Edge is slower than my granny on her scooter, but at least it goes further. When using the camera, images show up awesome on this large screen, but click to take a picture and things show up yellowish-orange. My biggest gripe is the memory on the phone. I conistently get, not enough memory errors but there's no other program running. I've had to disable voice activation and many other features. It helps a bit, but not much. I added a 2gb storage card that's tiny. So if I can get 2gb of memory in a storage card for under $30, why couldn't they have increased the memory? There are too many features in this action packed phone, or pocket PC if you will, that are frustrating at times to use because of the low memory. The Windows Music player is a nice feature, altho I could do without the instant messaging (it's a phone, if I want to reach someone, I'll call). The battery life is adequate, but nothing to scream about. It looks like this phone is geared towards the young professional under 30 crowd. It's got lots of flash, but sometimes it doesn't shine too brightly. A co-worker has a Motorola Q with Verizon and is impressed with the Wing's features. So this phone is up there with the other big players. But, I just wish it had better internal memory. It's not worth the $449 list price. If you can get your hands on one for under $200, then the archaic processor might be a bit easier to deal with. But once again, if I had paid $449.00 for it, I would give it two stars. At the price I got it for, I have to give it 4! I got mine at myrateplandotcom for $49.00 with a two year contract. ***update*** I've had this phone for a few more months now and I actually am starting to like this little sucker quite a bit more. I find myself leaving my iPod at home and loading lots of music on here. I've started utilizing the note capability for everything from grocery lists to work to do lists. The calender and alarms have done wonders for helping me get more organized. I still find the processor to be annoying and T-Mobile's coverage is not the best. But all in all, I'm happy with it.
