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.

Key features at a glance:

  • Slide-out screen exposing full QWERTY keypad
  • Soft-touch exterior with deep blue color
  • Wi-Fi and EDGE-enabled high-speed Internet access
  • Full HTML Web browsing
  • 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
  • Direct Push e-mail available with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and later; Windows Live Hotmail also supports push mail
  • Voice dialing, voice commands and voice recorder
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • 2.0 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
  • Video capture and playback music and video player
  • Micro SD memory card slot
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.

Summary: Garbage Phone 2009-10-29
Comment: This is the worst phone that I have ever had. The phone has some really cool features, but the overall usage of those features makes this phone totally garbage. T-Mobile should be ashamed of themselves for even continuing to sell this phone. It freezes up like a computer. Sometimes the touch screen feature on the phone works, but most of the time it doesn't. God forbid you want to power the phone off, you have to hold the button for an extended period of time. And then on top of that, you lose recent text messages and other information. Forget about answering an incoming call. The phone rings, however you aren't able to answer it. And you can't even see who's calling. If I knew about this phone beforehand, I would have never purchased it. My advice to anyone looking to purchase a new cell phone, visit various sites to see what the customer reviews are. They are the best indicators as to whether a phone will work for you or not.

Summary: Is this thing actually supposed to be new? 2009-06-26
Comment: Imagine that, T-Mobile will do a free phone for new service that they discontenued months prior. This thing has a slower processor than my 6 year old PDA! And Im talking SLOW! Spend a few bucks.... get ATT service, and get a phone that is worth a crap!

Summary: Ordinary Phone 2009-05-05
Comment: There really isnt anything spectacular about this phone. It called people randomly all the time. The screen stopped working after a year only. At $300 I would think I'd get more out of it. I was carried away by the hype when I purchased this phone, but I will never buy this phone again. The internet processor is very slow so if you're getting lost, you'll get more lost before you can get the right directions. Anyway, I called about possibly getting it replaced but was told I had no insurance, which wasn't even offered to me at the time I purchased. I was told there was no insurance I could buy for this phone. Insurance won't help anyway because I was told I would have to pay about $150 to get a replacement phone! Such a waste of money! I'd rather buy a new Nokia!

Summary: Worst Cell Phone Experience I've Ever Had! 2009-04-27
Comment: Don't know if the problem is the phone itself, the T-Mobile network or both, but this has been the worst phone I've ever had and I can hardly wait until the contract is up to get rid of it. It's so bad, I dread using it and use it only when I absolutely have to. I am puzzled how anyone can even say that it is "alright". I rate it as a 0.

I have had to send in two phones for replacement due to malfunctions. Along with mine, I also bought one for my wife. She has had to send it back once due to malfunctions. I'm only hoping it will limp along so I don't have to send it in again, even though I am not getting the service for which I contracted with T-Mobile.

I bought this phone over a year ago as a business phone based on very positive reviews, but it's unreliability has especially been a disappointment for that particular usage.
1. I frequently get voice messages a day or two late after the phone has not rung at the time the message was dated. This could and probably has lost business opportunities for me.
2. I frequently get dropped connections on business calls, sometimes 3 times during one discussion. These are so numerous that it is embarrassing. The dropped connections have improved of late, but still occur. This happens in various locations.
3. The connection to the web is unreliable and I sometimes have to remove the battery and sim and restart the phone to get a connection.
4. The keys are small and the multifunction keys are difficult to use. 5. It is frequently difficult to end a call, especially to retrieve voicemail, and also sometimes requires battery and sim removal and reboot.
6. I have had notes and contacts simply disappear.
7. The finish on the phone is flaking off.
8. It gives me a summary of my emails with text that states I will get the full version when I connect again but fails to do so on reconnection.

So I have gotten nothing but frustration from this purchase.
I have called T-mobile support time and again only to be told to do various things that have only helped one time. I don't even call anymore.

My advice is to buy just about any other phone from any other service.

Summary: I finally liked it, but..... 2009-04-26
Comment: I have this phone for 1 year and have 1 year left on my contract. I got it from an authorized dealer and went on vacation for a month. After I came back I started to have problems with battery not lasting after fully charging it. I even fully charged it before I went to bed and turned off blue tooth and wi-fi and noticed that it only had 20 % left in the morning. I called T-mobile to get it replaced and they told me it was out of waranty. They told me that the phone was sold and activated 4 times...my fault for not checking with T-mobile after I purchased the phone. I went back to the dealer and tried to get my money back but it was beyind the return period but they gave me a new battery. I had the same problem with the new battery not keeping the charge. I bought a higher capacity battery from Amazon and it worked beautifully ever since. The only thing is that you may have to reset the phone if you run several applications...I guess due to memory leaks. T-Mobile recommended resetting once a day. The phone is nice...the software...full office suite...the touch screen...handwriting recognition are all features I love.
