    CNET Review

    October 28, 2007

    The Good: The T-Mobile Shadow offers a fresh take on Windows Mobile smartphones, with a sleek slider design and interface. The entry-level device also has an affordable price tag and features a beautiful display; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi; a 2-megapixel camera; and various messaging capabilities.

    The Bad: The call quality of the Shadow could be better, particularly the speakerphone. The navigation wheel is slippery, and performance can be sluggish when numerous apps are in use.

    The Bottom Line: For the young professionals who have outgrown their cell phone but aren't quite ready for a business-centric device, the T-Mobile Shadow offers a nice compromise, as the entry-level smartphone brings the capabilities of a Windows Mobile smartphone into a fresh and affordable package.

    Review Summary: The first T-Mobile Shadow by HTC is a pretty cool device, because it combines the portability of a conventional slider phone with the convenience of a SureType keyboard. It's actually quite the creative solution for people who like to text, but don't ...
