The Good: The T-Mobile Wing is a quad-band world handset with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2 megapixel camera and is one of the first on the market to boast the new Windows Mobile 6 Professional Smartphone operating system.   It also features the full Office Mobile suite which allows both creation and viewing of documents.  There are a number of shortcut keys to frequent used applications, and the display effortlessly changes from portrait to landscape when deploying the QWERTY keyboard.

The Bad: With all this gadgetry on board, the handset is a little on the heavy side.  Also, it sometimes behaves somewhat sluggishly, especially when multiple applications are open at the same time, which also takes a toll on battery life.  Whereas the display is quite clear under normal operation, it can be difficult to read in direct sunlight.

The Bottom Line: T-Mobile has taken mobile productivity to the next level with the Wing, with a raft of useful features, enhancements and capabilities.  However, its weight coupled with several bugs and performance issues give some pause for consideration.
