The Boy Genius Unboxes A T-Mobile Wing
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 06:08 AM
"Maybe you were a little shy about purchasing an unbranded OEM HTC P4350, maybe you wanted a better price, regardless the T-Mobile should offer you the same device with a couple nice added features. Obviously the biggest selling point is that Windows Mobile 6 Professional is loaded right on. T-Mobile opted to have the case customized and to tell you the truth, it might be a tad thicker, but it almost feels nicer than the standard HTC Herald. The navigation buttons have been redone, also the Windows key, OK key, and a couple others were also changed. With a 200MHz processor it's still a very speedy device, and WM6 only helps! Pricing as stated before — $499 full retail, $299 with a 2 year agreement and $50 mail in rebate."
Well, it appears that either last month's Engadget Article regarding the "Wing" being renamed was either in error or the packaging shown in this juicy unboxing piece is outdated. Either way, the Wing looks pretty nice, especially for T-Mobile customers who are using the MDA now. WM6 may be the piece to get MDA users to upgrade - so was T-Mobile right in not bothering with the Hermes?
