I have a T-Mobile Wing (aka HTC Herald) and it has been pretty reliable. Before T-Mobile put up a new tower quite a bit closer to my house reception was spotty there, but it was that way with the 5 or 6 T-mobile phones we've owned over the years so I can't blame the Wing.
The only two downsides that I don't like about the Wing is the pre-installed apps that T-Mobile puts on are quite bloted, but flashing the ROM took care of that and made the phone much more responsive. The other is that the sliding mechanism as loosened up over the past year and a half. Not to the point where it's a problem, but when I first got it you could barely fit a sheet a paper in between the halves. Now it slides in easily. It still stays shut though no problem.
Is my Wing the same as the iPhone? No. Does it have a lot of the same functionality? Some. Can I run custom apps that I or others develop without asking for permission? Piece of cake. Did I have to spend $700 for it? Hell no. |
