Review: T-Mobile Wing

August 9, 2007 9:27 AM
File under Featured , Smartphones

There’s a huge problem there, though, because fresh out of the box the Wing comes with several pre-loaded apps (MyFaves, T-Zones, the home-screen music player) that make a significant dent in your usable space for running programs.... Software The Wing comes preloaded with quite a bit more than the standard Windows Mobile 6 Software, it adds: Windows Live Search (though you’ll want to upgrade to the newer version that has Movies added) T-Mobile Email Wizard OZ Communications IM (for IM with AIM, Yahoo, and ICQ) T-Mobile HotSpot Login Utility Winwap Technologies T-Zones T-Mobile’s MyFaves App That’s the good news.

T-Mobile MDA vs. Wing: Should You Upgrade?

June 11, 2007 11:52 AM
File under Featured , Smackdowns

Now that the T-Mobile Wing is out and available in the stores, there’s probably a healthy amount of MDA users out there wondering if it’s worth the price to upgrade. Now, far be it from me to tell you how to spend your money - 500 bucks before contract discounts is a lot of money. And on paper, the Wing doesn’t exactly blow the MDA out of the water. Take a peek at what hasn’t really been upgraded:

• Processor: the same, though the Wing is clocked a whole 6MHz faster at 201MHz
• Weight: The Wing weighs 1 gram less.
• Memory: The Wing actually has less available memory to the user. MDA has 50mb storage and 47.46Mmb program compared to the Wing’s 41.42mb storage and 43.8mb program. It’s even worse in that the Wing seems to eat up more program memory after a fresh boot with the T-Mobile MyFaves app running (and it wants to always be running.
• Screen: The same
• Data: Both are quad-band EDGE phones with WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0. Heck, the MDA has infrared and the Wing does not.
• Battery Life: The Wing’s battery is smaller, at 1130 mAh to the MDA’s 1250mAh.
• Audio Out: The MDA has a 2.5mm audio jack, the Wing makes you use HTC’s funny little mini-usb adapter.

What specs are better? Well the Wing has a 2 megapixel camera, the MDA’s is 1.3. That’s about it, actually, except…

So the main differences come down to two things: Windows Mobile 6 on the Wing and the Wing’s improved form factor. I won’t get into WM6 too much here (it’s better, but in my opinion it won’t knock your socks off); instead let’s look at the form factor differences. Read on for a photo-fortified-form-factor smackdown between the Wing and the MDA.

MDA Vanishes from T-Mo's Website

April 9, 2007 9:23 AM
File under Articles

Not to be mean, or anything, but I’ve found the Dash to be snappier and more powerful than the old warhorse slider, the T-Mobile MDA.... As such, the handset has completely disappeared from T-Mobile’s website.

Hacker Proof-of-Concept: T-Mobile MDA as "Evil Twin" Network

March 7, 2007 12:17 PM
File under Articles

A great article was posted on Friday over at c|net, describing how “Carl Banzhof, VP and chief technology evangelist for McAfee, outlined a scenario in which mobile phones—not laptops—could be used to sniff wireless packets”. The upshot is that he took a T-Mobile MDA and made it look like a WiFi access point - i.e. showing how a malicious smartphone user could “trick” you into logging onto the internet via the MDA, thereby exposing all of your communications to packet sniffing.
