May 23 T-Mobile Wing aka HTC Atlas Reviewed
Found in:Devices, Reviews, Pocket PC, WM6,

T-Mobile Wing is one of the most talked recently Windows Mobile Phones. It is based on the HTC Herald design, but the actual Wing's code name is the HTC Atlas(the only difference in the Herald and Atlas seems to be the color).

The T-Mobile Wing is the follow on product offering to the T-Mobile MDA (aka HTC Wizard), and now the Wing has added Windows Mobile 6 to this form factor and we have a pretty neat new phone.

The T-Mobile Wing is a solid replacement for the any HTC Wizard Variant. (T-Mobile MDA/Cingular 8125) When compared to the Wizard, the performance is not a huge increase, but having Windows Mobile 6 and it's additions make it a worth the upgrade. If you are still carrying the MDA, the keyboard is probaly so loose that it slides open whenever it wants anyway and the spring loaded keyboard on the Wing should be a welcome fix for you.

This phone is pretty slim for a slider, it's really amazing. The styling of this phone make it a looker for those that care what your phone looks like. I definately recommend this phone to anyone on the T-Mobile network. I am not sure it's worth swaping carriers, but I would have to consider.

Here you can watch video of unboxing and 1st look at the T-Mobile Wing...
