T-Mobile Wing replacing MDA in August?
T-Mobile has officially taken down their Pocket PC handset the MDA. Everyone has been wondering what the replacement device will be. Will it be the HTC Herald? Will it be 3G and take advantage of T-Mobile’s 1700 MHz band? It looks like we might have some answers now. Enter the T-Mobile Wing. Apparently an HTC P4350 in a new case, the device will launch with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. MyMobile911 writes, "The T-Mobile Wing have the same size as the Cingular 8525 with a Spring loaded sliding keyboard. Also it has the same screen size as the 8525. With the blue rubberized coating all over the body (as the Dash, however is blue), the T-Mobile Wing has a very attractive and high class feeling". They have reported the handset was on track to launch in June, but has been pushed to August for an undisclosed reason.

I have talked to two different T-Mobile reps and both have said that the phone will be released on May 22. Neither have been able to tell me a price on the phone, but after research online and reading a lot of what MyMobile911.com has said, it’s looking like it will be $249 with a 2 year plan. Because May 22nd is my birthday, I will most definitly be celebrating it with my T-mobile Wing. The name is offically named the Wing. The HTC Herald is a different model with just very similar specs. Hope this clears up any confusion.
May 22nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This phone is awsome.
