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. |

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.
Nice phone, when you tweak it right. February 13, 2008

Out of the box this phone has some problems, but these can be fixed. Foremost, there is not enough free memory to run programs. With the default t-mobile ROM, there is about 8MB of free program memory after a clean start. After some use this can dip as low as 2MB with no programs running! This means that windows mobile has a HUGE footprint of around 40MB on this phone! After some digging, I found some custom ROMs and I would highly recommend flashing your phone with one of these. For example, the one that I use (OpenTouch V3.0) has a MUCH smaller footprint of about 29MB, leaving around 20MB free for running programs. This is plenty and I never have "out of memory" errors anymore
The second common complaint is the processor speed. I haven't found this to be much of a problem, but if you need to run intensive apps like skype, you can overclock using BatteryStatus. Some people have had luck getting it up to 273Mhz, I keep it at around 240Mhz. You can even use CPU scaling to automatically adjust the speed depending on CPU usage.
There are also plenty of addons and 3rd party programs that will make this phone rival the iphone. After the above tweaks, the only complaint I have is that this phone won't be compatible with t-mobile's UMTS network when it becomes available.
In summary, I really don't know what t-mobile was thinking shipping this phone in such a crippled state. But after some modifications, this phone is REALLY nice. I enjoy it much more than my previous blackberry pearl.
Pros: long battery life, nice form factor, runs windows mobile 6, touch screen, easy access microSD slot.
Cons: A little on the heavy side, needs some tweaking to be usable, not UMTS compatible.
An excellent phone May 14, 2008

I upgraded from an older pocket pc phone (SX66) and I'm quite impressed with the Wing. Windows Mobile 6 is a giant improvement over what I was using - pocket PC 2003. You might consider dividing the gripes about this phone into two categories - tmobile gripes, and gripes about the phone and windows. I think the gripes about TMobile are pretty justified - coverage is spotty, and the cellular data speeds are slow. But hey, I've got a $30/month plan, and I don't really need cellular internet, I just use wifi spots when traveling. Also, to note is that you can easily unlock these phones and use them with other GSM carriers.
But I love these phones for music, windows office compatibility, videos, and wifi.
If you just look at the phone itself, it is a great device. The sliding keyboard is excellent, easy to use, and it doesn't feel cheap at all, I don't even know what some of the reviewers are talking about there... I think this is one of the sturdier devices I've handled. The Windows OS is much much better, and it's actually a lot more friendly in the context of a phone. You can dial speed dials one-handed, you can dial your contacts one-handed with a few more menus to go thru, and of course there is voice recognition. You can get an 8 GB microSD card now, so you can store tons of stuff. You've got the 2 megapixel camera, which is executed nicely, and you can take videos too. I haven't gotten to use the MS office apps yet, but I presume they are functional. Basically, I think the device itself is top-notch. All the complaints revolve around TMobile, or GSM networks in general. You'll have the same kinds of problems with iphones, etc. But you can use your phone in Europe. For what it's worth.
I really like the tactile feel of the Wing, it feels really nice. And it won't slip out of your hands, it's got a nice tacky feel.
the greates thing to ever happen to TMobile July 17, 2007

This is the best phone i have ever had i just recently terminated my account with cingular cause they sent me through so many loops and turns i couldnt take. I think T mobile has the best and cheapest plans. the phone was a bit pricey i wanted the cingular 8525 so bad and used when my friend had it and was upset hes getting a wing as well. I absolutely love this phone nd when my two yearsis up i will be gettin the uprade.
