The T-Mobile Shadow is a decent tweener Windows Mobile smartphone with a pretty face. Call quality isn't the best we've heard, but it's adequate. Whether this phone is worth the cost, depends entirely on what sort of deal you get from the carrier....
Shadow is a sleek slider with a custom interface and jog dial that make it easier to use than the average Windows Mobile smartphone. The SureType keypad fits a QWERTY layout into the space of a regular numerical keypad but has larger buttons than the ...
Not everyone will like Shadow’s keypad. Wider than most slider phones. Less powerful than many smartphones. No touchscreen. EDGE is slow for Web browsing.
If you’re looking for a smartphone in a sleek disguise, Shadow is an interesting choice. Though it runs Windows Mobile, it’s really more like a souped-up messaging phone than a smartphone. The custom UI is a great touch.

Abstract: The biggest complaint I hear about Windows Mobile is the interface. This has been the top complaint since day one and the main reason why my wife is still using a Palm. It used to be that the devices didn’t ship with enough memory so you had to ...

The T-Mobile Shadow is one fun handset to own and use. It is good looking, has some nice user interface enhancements, and can even take a nice photo. It has a lot going for it, but the poor battery life is more than enough to keep the Shadow from getti...
