T-Mobile Wing takes flight
Well, it's finally done: T-Mobile Wing née HTC's Atlas / Herald has lifted off. Obviously there are absolutely no surprises here for anyone who's been following this launch, but the thinner- hotter successor to the MDA comes out swinging with Windows Mobile 6 (Professional), quad-band EDGE data, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera, WiFi, myFaves, a 2.8-inch QVGA display, microSD slot, soft-touch finish, and new and improved QWERTY keyboard. It'll be available tomorrow for $300 (with service agreement); stick around for some high res photography sure to tide you over until then. Early review roundup posted after the break.
Well, it looks like more than a couple had some units, dinnit?

Will @ May 22nd 2007 12:34AM
they must get on this 3g deal...all these edge devices just aren't cutting it
xankriz @ May 23rd 2007 11:30PM
Is it me or is slider the new clamshell... I can't say that I approve.

T-Mo won't get 3G till ~January. They were hoping for a Q3 07 launch but that isn't gonna work out. The preliminary network will be done by that time (in a handful of cities), then allot about 4 months for testing. I suspect data cards will come before handsets.

200mhz isn't terrible if you can overclock. Is it on a common processor?
Matt @ May 22nd 2007 5:59PM
That's too bad. I've been anxious to replace my MDA. I've had it 14 months, which for a phone/pda/smartphone lover like myself, is a long time.
I wish it weren't the case, but all I'd get if I upgraded to the Wing is a slightly slimmer phone, and WM6. It's not enough of an upgrade in features to justify getting a new one.
Having to put up with that ugly blue, and telling people that my new phone is the "Wing" would just add insult to injury.

It was on their website this morning (5/23), but now it is back off? What's up with that?

Jim Vaughan @ May 23rd 2007 6:11PM
I keep putting off buying a new phoning waiting for 3G from T-Mobile; I just read the in thread we have to wait until Jan...
... that sounds like a long way off.
Me thinks I need to buy something in the interim, maybe this is it. But with no discount for current customers, maybe not.

rry6961 @ May 23rd 2007 11:55PM
is this for the contest?
Jon @ May 24th 2007 12:18AM
Now that my beloved Treo 650 is starting to need toothpick repairs I've begun to cast my eyes toward WM6 and the like. The pace of Palm/PalmOS dev is just too languid.
Toothpick repairs, you ask? Yes. It seems that the screw beneath my antenna worked itself out (it was the only one I hadn't used threadlok on), leaving the antenna with nothing to hold it in and the upper left corner spreading apart ominously. Sync and audio problems followed, and I haven't been able to find a replacement screw of the proper size. So I jammed a toothpick in there and broke it off. It is holding, but I'm definitely not feeling terribly secure in the reliability of my baby Treo...
Bob R. Kenyon @ May 24th 2007 12:42AM
Windows. Yuck. I'll take it anyway.
Meggge @ May 24th 2007 12:55AM
Ooh pretty. I want one. Too bad I dont have nearly enough cash for this. I guess Im gonna be getting the Sidekick ID
Chris fukui @ May 24th 2007 7:49AM
