T-mobile Wing Review
Author: John Anthony
This is about the T-Mobile Wing, T-Mobile's follow up to the MDA. The two devices are similar, however the Wing has a new slicker form factor, as well as a two mega pixel camera, which is an upgrade from last years version. Most importantly this is one of the first devices to launch in the US with Windows Mobile 6, which is professional edition and used to be called Pocket PC. This just means that the T-Mobile Wing has a touch screen.
Like most Windows Mobile phones the Tmobile Wing has tons of buttons. On the front you will find a D-pad with a center select key, soft keys, Windows and ok keys, as well as a send and end key. On the right hand side of the phone, where the camera would normally be there is a stylus, a quick jump to the messaging center, as well as the voice activation button. On the top of the phone you will find the on/off button, which is also used to turn the screen on once it locks. On the left side of the phone you will find the camera button, which makes it very convenient for using the phone as a camera. You will also find the volume control and a microSD slot, which is concealed behind a rubber door. On the bottom of the phone you will find a mini USB jack, which is used for charging, syncing, as well as a headset port.
Finally if you slide the top piece of the phone upwards, the keyboard lies beneath. The nice feature this phone has is the screen comes on as soon as you slide the screen up. The T-Mobile Wing also has some new indicator lights as well, with blue led lights which come on when you press the shift key and the function key.
One of the bad things you will find while holding the T-Mobile Wing with the slider open is that your finger will be positioned right on the camera lens, which will unfortunately leave fingerprints on the lens. You will also notice that...
