HTC Wing Cell Phone Reviews

by Rubi Carrillo -- January 16th 2008 -- Sacramento, CA

I LOVE the HTC Wing! I had the MDA prior to this and all of the problems with that phone (e.g. phone freezing up, bad reception, dropped calls) were fixed in this model. Plus, they added some cool applications, such as a task manager that makes it easy to end programs and voice recognition software where you no longer have to program the voice tags. You can set the phone to announce incoming mail, meetings, tasks, etc--which is very cool when you're driving. The phone is very easy to use--especially if you're familiar with Windows. This phone is a gazillion times better (and more functional) than the iPhone.

I really love the wing. I have had my phone for over 1 month and I still loose hours of the day going in and out of the different components of the phone. The only negatives of the phone are the shorten battery life and the camera. Often, I have to clear all running programs from the phone in order to use the camera.

The call quality on the wing is good, not perfect, but not any less good than any other phone I have ever had. I gave this a four, and would have given it a five only if it were better than the rest but it is simply the same call quality as every other phone I have ever had. Ease of use is also good. It does take some learning, and it actually requires some downloads to make it really cool, and make the ease of use even easier. I would have given this a five if it came with the few programs I downloaded to make it run the way I wanted. Design is about the same, but this one is a four and a half for one reason. You can assign whatever you want to all the buttons on the phone, so although they came for me the way I wanted, someone who wants a button to do differently could change it. The only thing I don't like here is that sometimes when in a call, my cheek touches the screen and gets into other programs while I'm talking on the phone, and then sometimes I hear a beep or something from those programs. More than anything it is annoying because I have to quit those programs later. On that note, programs don't just quit when you X out of them, which I do not like. You then have to go into the top right corner of the main screen and push stop all to end whatever programs you have started. If you don't do this, it could start running more slowly. Battery LIfe, I gave a three out of five only because this was a little bit worse than other phones I have had. I talk a lot, always have, and I don't like to charge anytime except at night when I sleep. Other phones I have had would work the second day and make it until the second night if I forgot to charge it one night. The wing will not. It Will die on the second day if you don't charge it after a day of use, and use it the next day. (all of this assuming you talk or use the phone a lot like me). Overall, I would highly recommend this phone. Especially if you get it for FREE from letstalk.com. Oh and be sure and tell someone at TMobile how much you paid for the phone, since with a two year contract they still charge 300. But we get it for FREE with a two year contract. I love to rub it in their face anytime I can. (I don't like Tmobile much, but love Let's Talk!)

I love this phone. The call quality is great. Plenty of features to keep you busy. Very easy to use. Setting up the ActiveSync was a little difficult but it was minor trouble. The battery didn't make it through the night for me but I had some features turned on that drained it. Overall I think this a great phone. Compared it to an Iphone with someone at work and I like my Wing better.

The HTC Wing is beautiful and smooth with a velvety, silky feel. At times it does run a bit slow and wish it had more ram and faster cpu, but overall I love this phone.

I love the touch screen and the slide keyboard.. I didn't expect the quality of the internet picture and efficiency to be that awesome but it is. The camera is great too, though sometimes the memory is too low on the unit for it to activate :( the only other negative thing is that the volume isn't as loud as I would have liked it. But the quality of the ring tones and songs is great. No regrets.

T-Mobile's plan is awesome $19.99 unlimited internet and e-mail and no stupid tethering charges for attaching your laptop ( Check ATT's added cost for that!). I added the SPB Mobile Shell software and that really makes the Wing super easy to use. My only complaint is that occasionally when the phone rings as I pull it out of mu holder the call is already answered. I would like to have away to disable the call/answer button- I have seen software that will let you re -program the answer button so that you must tap it three times to answer, I like that idea - it will prevent me from dialing back whoever just called me .. that has happened a few times. All in all I love the phone and the deal i got through LetsTalk.com was great! I am glad I did not pay the $299 for the Tilt and then get screwed even more by ATT's plan.

I love my T-mobile wing. Its a little slow but its because I have a lot of stuff in the phone. Besides that, I would recommend this LetsTalk.com to everybody I know. In matter of fact, I had my mother go through this website to purchase her phones and plan and she is also beyond happy. I recommended to my friends, boyfriend, and loved ones. Lets Talk is a great website and provides expedited and fantastic service.

Yeah... it's not an iPhone, but when the newness wears off the iPhone, they do basically the same thing... but I have more cash in my pocket! Viva La Wing!

Overall the HTC Wing is not bad, takes a lot of getting used to. Calls are clear mostly good service, i like the digtal keypad on the screen similar to the Iphone. The internet can use a little work, following links on web pages usally don't work but as for the basic internet not bad. Download times aren't that bad either. The phone is not compatible with apple computers and the built in phone memory is kind of small. Lots of applications and things to play with, Microsoft word, power point and excel are built in. Battery life all depends how much you use the phone throughout the day. If your on the internet and messaging for most of the day your left with about 30% of your battery.
