The T-Mobile MDA is dead, long live the Wing?
Sweaty palms, darting eyes, hyperventilation -- the anxiety attack induced by the knowledge that T-Mobile is without a clear-cut QWERTY solution from HTC can be downright frightening, we know. After seemingly euthanizing the MDA, customers of T-Mobile's US outpost have been sans a replacement in the wings, but it seems that this sucker might be the lucky winner. A variant of the HTC Atlas (new to us!), the T-Mobile "Wing" appears to take some cues from HTC's newer QWERTY-based Pocket PCs by adding Function and Caps lights, a spring-loaded slide, and a more traditional numeric keypad layout. The whole shebang is said to be covered in a rubberized blue material, which we suspect should be comfortable and easy to grip as long as it's not too sticky, thick, or soft. If this holds up, look for it to hit around August -- Windows Mobile 6 Professional and all.

is this not just a variant on the HTC Herald/P4350 (already out)? Sure looks the part:)

Will this have GPS? If so, I'm sold.

clear cut qwerty solution .... Dash

Still the same old 200mhz processor?
No ram increase?
No 3G support?
T-Mobile is the last of the 4 national carriers that STILL isn't offering mobile broadband. I'm about ready to leave T-Mobile if they don't start upping their game soon.

For those of you who haven't been keeping up, this has the same POS 200 MHz CPU, (OMAP) no GPS, no 3G and really nothing worth noting except perhaps the addition of WM6 (you can get it online for MDA) and the 2.0 megapixel camera (unless they improved the lens or the CCD, it makes no difference if it had 5000 gigapixels)
So my prediction is that we have quite a turd here.

This is a cool smartphone. Seems to be a little slimmer than the other systems. I like it!.
Matt @ Apr 10th 2007 7:15PM
Rod, can you point me in the right direction for getting WM6 on my MDA? That's what I would love to get the most.

I agree with shinbunboi. If it has the same general form factor, same CPU, and same lack of 3G as the HTC Herald. Is this not a rebranded Herald/P4350?
It sure seems like it is to me...
