HTC Wing / P4350 (Herald)
Average Ratings
Bad Experience
I had the wing for about 2 months. Overall I did not like this phone at all.
Pros:
Solitare
Windows Mobile
Fast Internet
Keyboard
Cons:
Slooooooow moving
tzones=slooooow
complicated
If you are fast paced like me, i would not suggest this phone. It was freeze on me all the time and had very slow reaction time. The reason why I no longer have this phone is because I dropped it only about 2 feet and the screen shattered.
I think that tmobile has alot better touch screen phones than the wing.
DAMN

OVERALL A GREAT PHONE, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IT!!! DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS PHONE.
After 1 year with Wing....
I have had this phone for a little over one year and I have loved it!! Windows has absolutely amazed me with how user friendly this phone is. I would consider myself a heavy user, I download programs to my phone, music, videos, all using T-Mobiles EDGE Network. Speeds weren't really a problem for me because I had time to kill. I have never had a problem with downloading until about 3 months ago. My phone started to run slow, it kept saying my phone memory was full even know i had a sd card, it would freeze, ect... But heres were the problems some in. The due to the known issues of this device, T-Mobile has abandoned its warranty on the device. Stating that HTC and Microsoft knows about the issues of freezing ect., so it will no longer be doing exchanges under software issues. Windows phones are fantastic but we all know they freeze. So based on that if you get this phone, know that there is nothing that can be done if you have any problems. Adding insurance will no help either because they will only give the same device, leading to problems down the line. And this is only after you pay you $130 deductable. Over all my experice with this phone has been good.... Until now
PROS
-How user friendly it is
-Windows Mobile 6.0 in general
-Good camera
-Bright screen
CONS
-Glitches in the software
-No warranty on the phone
-Assurion deductable is way to high
-No other phone like this T-Mobile has to offer to even possibly do an exchange for
-T-Mobile's willingness to extend my contract for another phone of less quality (like a whackberry or a Shadow)
Part good part great
I have enjoyed this phone since day 1. it's had some issues now and then and i had to do several resets before doing an exchange. But when this phone is on its game it hard to beat. There's not much i could ask for other than t-mobile to have faster Internet. the keyboard and screen both have a nice soft feel to them and are usually very responsive. If you want an excellent pda then this is one i would recommend giving a shot
not so great
Trust me, this phone is just bad.
Do not buy it.
I couldn't stand it.
It is incredibly slow, even when nothing is running.
Yes, the camera is great and the wifi is really fast, but it's a terrible phone.
I had it for a little over a week and returned it for the T-mobile Dash. When I was returning it, the sales representative told me that a lot of people return it and that they try to talk people out of buying it because it's an awful phone.
The wing is HORRIBLE!!!!
I had the wing i wanted it because of its touch screen but once i got it i relized the phone was not that great at all.
Pros:
The color of the phone is a nice blue
The camera takes great pictures
The phone can be hooked up to any nokia USB cord or playstation 3 usb cord and can be charged using a motorola charger
Cons:
Too Slow
Touch screen is horrible
Those damn blinking lights
Just about everything is a con to me except whats listed above
All in all I wouldn't recommend this phone at all i went back to my old phone withing a week
Gotta Love It
I have had this phone for about 7 months now and absolutely love it. I went from a blackberry to this and will never leave windows. I have used BB's for years from different providers (nextel, verizon, and tmobile) and decided to try the windows format. I am a construction manager and it is great to be able to have all of my pdf's and excel files sent straight to my phone so i can view them when i am in the field. if i dont have my laptop, then i have my wing. the only problem i have had with it was its durability. i am not the best with handling my phones with care, especially when i am on a construction site. i have had to have it replaced once for the screen cracking when i dropped it. lucky everything was backed up on my laptop. someone needs to make a phone with the durability of a nextel and the features of the wing.
The WING
So far this is the most user friendly phone I have owned. The OS is great, easy to use and navigate. I was looking for a phone that had a touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard. Windows Mobile 6.0 was something I knew I would like but would have lived without. But I found this phone and have been very pleased since.
Not what I expected.
This phone is pretty good. It has a nice design, pretty decent call quality, Wi-Fi works great, and the touchscreen is also very snappy sometimes. It got the typical HTC feature set, and very good battery life.
Its using Windows Mobile 6 right out of the box, and this OS tends to freeze alot unless your always closing programs from the task manager. The camera works pretty nicely. Bluetooth does what its supposed to do.
I have a few cons about it, the phones touchscreen takes a while to adjust to the orient of the phone. For me the email can be a bit cumbersome and choppy, I had to be connected to Wi-Fi for it to actually work, because I'm in an area where EDGE data is spotty, my last con is the fact that this phone uses the same 200mhz processor found in the Dash. That's a problem because for me this isn't even enough to run the Dash without problems, and it barley handles this phone in terms of speed.
Overall solid phone, just with it had more horsepower under that hood.
