MDA or WING

[ViktorX]

HELLO!!! I'm about to buy a new PPC so I need an advice! Which one? Is the winner T-mobile MDA or T-mobile Wing? Some say Wing is too slow? Is that truth because they have almost the same hardware (OMAP850...)? Please HELP!!!

I had an MDA before and I prefer my Herald over it any day. The specifications might be the same but there are many small differences that make the Herald the favourable device.. If the Herald and Wing are the same then things such as the Wing being SDHC compatible, spring keyboard, stylus actually stays in the phone (one thing that pissed me off the most about the MDA, stylus got so loose after a while) are a few reasons why I prefer it. Thats just to name a few, also difference in size, Herald is much slimmer.

As for the speed, in my opinion modifying the page pool takes care of that.

Hope that helps in your decision.

I too had the MDA before the wing. I like the full length styls, spring keyboard, smaller size, and actual windows/ok keys/

get the wing, forget the mda, wing is better in every way, after you apply the 6mb pagepool patch and install battery status the wing will FLY !!!!! i love my wing... now if only they can fix the battery drain when radio off glitch...

Gotta agree with these guys. I went from an MDA, to a Pearl, to a Wing. And with the new RUU floating around for the wing, we're bound to see as much customization as we have with the wizard. I mean, take a look at viet's roms for example. And those are even without the ruu.

I went from an MDA to a Wing. It was an excellent upgrade. I love the MDA but the Wing is better in some aspects. Like Mi|enko said, customizations are bound to make an appearance. The wizard has more hacks and cracks than any other phone I've ever seen. The Wing will get it's time soon.

I just got my Wing from having a MDA. And I am very please with it. Even though the initial internal memory is lower, overall the pro's of the Wing win BIG TIME!!! Plus, native WM6.

I had the mda vario (wizard) and made some benchmark tests - and the XDA terra is even faster without overclocking than the mda.

AND it is much thinner - better for your pocket. and with the change of pagepool it is really a good device.

I love it.

I got my wing in the U.S.
It has no IR!!!
And I am in serious need of hacks. T-Mobile has customized their version of WM6 so much that memory is at a real premium.

Except for WM6, I prefer my Wizard.
