T-Mobile USA today announced the availability of the new T-Mobile Wing, developed by High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC), the world’s leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile-based devices. The T-Mobile Wing has a blue soft-touch exterior, touch screen, and full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard - and it is quite a bit more stylish than any of the other Pocket PC Phones that have come out before it. The Wing will be available exclusively at T-Mobile.
The T-Mobile Wing is 30 percent smaller than its predecessor, the T-Mobile MDA.

The T-Mobile Wing is the first new device brought to market in the U.S. to be powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, offering faster access to contacts, the ability to view and edit Microsoft Office documents, and a richer Web experiences. Windows Mobile 6 supports HTML e-mail so that people can view and compose e-mail messages in their original HTML format with live links to Web sites, support for images, tables and bullets. Text and images are displayed as they would be on a PC, whether from their Microsoft Office Outlook and Exchange Server account, from a Web-based account such as Windows Live Hotmail or from a myriad of other popular service providers.
The T-Mobile Wing also provides integrated Windows Live services, including Windows Live Messenger, to chat with more than one person at a time and to use emoticons; Windows Live Hotmail that is up-to-date and delivered directly to the device; all contacts in a unified, presence-enabled list; Live Search to search the Web for news, local businesses and entertainment, directions, maps, images, and more; and Windows Live Spaces to access links to friends’ spaces within contact cards and send photos directly to their space from the Wing.

The included Outlook Mobile software offers up-to-date e-mail, calendar and contact information. Customers using the T-Mobile Wing at work with Microsoft Exchange Server can get instant e-mail and enhanced security features that let them clear data from a device if it is stolen or require high-security passwords to access information. The T-Mobile Wing is a myFaves-enabled phone, taking advantage of the personal wireless communications experience available only through T-Mobile.
