The battery dies quickly even with little or no usage. And when I say quickly... I mean within 5 hours your down to 1 bar left. It takes around 2 minutes to boot up but it takes around 20 minutes before you can use it because its starting all the windows applications. It freezes up A LOT and when you try to use the task manager, it doesn't show the open applications. It is better than the Sidekick, but you will get this phone and fall in love for the first week, than it will start dying on you and freezing and you'll wanna throw it at something. It's up to you to get the phone, but I would NOT suggest to do so. I have this phone and i dont really recommend it to anyone. The battery dies quickly even with little or no usage.

Here's a tip. Go to the task mamager and turn off all the tasks you have running. Only turn them on when you need it. Suddenly, you will have pretty good battery life!

Just bought yesterday. It's pretty awesome if you guys are not really into something of perfection. I used the iPhone for 3 months before and I prefer this phone personally. I love the schemes. It looks pretty pro and very useful. The camera is pretty good, I suppose the pixels are exactly the same as other smartphones and iPhone. Its quality are beyond 2.0MP The core is pretty slow, but I don't need to do anything fast but emailing and internet, that's cool anyways. I bought this for $150 ($172 with tax). Buy the 17$ 2GB MicroSD in Fry's and some certain bluetooth headset, you're good to go for the next 2 years, I'm pretty sure. I have it.

I was using the dash which I also really liked. So far the down side: The screen is hard to keep clean. Lots of finger prints and smudges so I am worrying about wiping it off and scratching it. Thinking about using a screen protector. The nav wheel doesn't seem to work real well, you have to turn it a lot and there is not much control but maybe I am not used to it. Upside: The suretype text isn't too bad. This is from someone who send 2000 text messages a month. It took a while to get used to and I almost wish they would have just used a standard phone keypad layout. The touch and feel of everything is great. it hums right along and all my 3rd party apps work just fine. Balance is great. This is a great phone for people that loved the SDA. It is more like a phone than a blackberry which is just what I was looking for. I got my shadow yesterday and so far I really like it. I was using the dash which I also really liked.

Got this info from a reliable source that works at T-mobile. I would like a better Pocket PC other than the SLOW Wing. Something like the AT&T Tilt because it has a 400 Mhz Qualcom proc. I just doubt that T-Mobile will introduce a nice PDA until 3G is launched which could be another year or so while the US Govt. vacates T-Mobile's new 1700 Mhz spectrum.

It is sporting a 2MP camera. This blows the DASH and WING out of the water with the expanded RAM and Memory it eliminates the lagging and freezing known with WM 6.0. The only downside is that it is a smartphone not pocket pc so no creating word documents.
