PC World - The T-Mobile Shadow is getting a smart-phone makeover for 2009. The new Shadow will run Windows Mobile 6.1, be enabled for use with T-Mobile Unlimited HotSpot Calling service and have access to Wi-Fi networks.
The Shadow has a nice balance of entertainment and enterprise features, including a music and video player, preloaded multimedia content, a mobile version of Microsoft Office for document viewing and editing, and Microsoft Outlook. The Shadow's 1.6-in. screen, however, is disappointing. I imagine it would be very difficult to review a long document or watch a video on a screen that size.
The HTC-manufactured phone retains the candy-bar slider design found on its predecessor, but comes in two new colors: white mint and black burgundy. It is quite slim and light, measuring 4.3 by 2.4 by 0.5 in. and weighing 3.9 oz The Shadow is will be available in T-Mobile retail stores and online later this month.
