Pros:
Attractive design. Nice new tweaks to Windows Mobile. Comfortable keypad. Good performance as a Web browser. Preloaded e-mail settings. |
 |
Cons:
Wi-Fi doesn't replace slower EDGE networking. System still a bit buggy, we had quite a few crashes. Still lots of menus in WM6. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| We think the Wing is one of the most appealing Windows Mobile smartphones yet, even more appealing that the slim slabs like the BlackJack and the Motorola Q. The keys are more comfortable, the screen is much larger, and the entire design feels solid and easy to hold. There were some performance issues, and Windows Mobile 6 is still a nascent Windows OS, but T-Mobile has added a few perks of their own, not the least of which is a good MyFaves implementation and plenty of e-mail presets for the smartphone neophytes. We can only wish for 3G networking, which is the most glaring omission from T-Mobile's lineup, but otherwise we think this phone is a contender. |
