The Shadow is an appropriate name for T-Mobile’s new slick slider. That’s because it doesn’t wear its smartphoneness on its sleeve . In fact, it’s really more akin to an LG Chocolate–with a brain and Wi-Fi–than your typical BlackBerry, Treo, or BlackJack. Even better, this handset hides (but doesn’t eliminate) the confusing Windows Mobile desktop with a custom user interface that lets you do nearly everything from the main screen.
So long as you can tolerate the sometimes frustrating QWERTY-like keyboard, you’ll be psyched to sport the Shadow. Weighing 5.3 ounces and measuring 0.6 inches thin, the T-Mobile Shadow isn’t quite as svelte as the BlackBerry Pearl, but it feels lighter than it looks. Plus, it’s the most stylish Windows Mobile 6 phone yet. With its navigation wheel, soft-touch finish on the back, and large 2.6-inch display, this phone could be easily mistaken for an MP3 player.
