HTC Shadow Cell Phone

The T-Mobile Shadow is a Windows Mobile 6 slider phone with enough storage capacity to make it your everyday phone. Built by HTC for T-Mobile the Shadow's key features include WiFi, stereo Bluetooth, 2.0 megapixel camera and a SureType/ Qwerty style keypad.

What is Good: 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 BlackBerry Pearl or Samsung Blast. Built-in WiFi and myFaves compatibility.

What's Not Good: 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.

Bottom Line: 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.
