I have had mine 1 week. It works well except that the battery starts to get weak after app 7 hours (with minimal use) and it has frozen on me twice. I have heard others complain of similar issues.

No stylus as it is not a touch screen.

Where did I say the phone was crap? You need to grow up bro. If you don’t like the phone, fine. State your reasons other than lame SIM swap issues that are not even a problem. You made that up.

It’s a great phone for the price. Probably the best phone for the money Tmobile offers. I’d rather spend 349 for this than 399 for a RAZR2.

Ok.. I took one on a 14 day trial because it was not nearly as big as I thought. This phone is not 5.2 oz.. it’s more like 4.2 oz on my postal scale, it’s barely bigger than the pearl.

So, Ive had it 2 days. Battery life is so so.. not so great but tolerable. Call quality is really good. It’s actually much nicer than I thought it would be.

I am thinking of keeping it. I have 14 days to return it, but so far I like it a lot. Nice color screen, decent camera, easy texting.. it’s actually a pretty fun phone.

As far as Rage saying it’s a crap piece, well.. most of tmobile phones are. Using the Tmobile scale of phones, it’s pretty nice.

The only bug I have noticed so far is when you type in a letter to search for a contact, it brings up multiple duplicates of the same contacts. If you go to the address book and scroll, it doesn’t do that, only when you type in the first letter (i.e, type in T to go to Tom) when it does that.

I also still have the pearl, and so far, I think I like this shadow a little bit better. It’s easier to type/text/email because the keys are slightly bigger.

Just spent 1/2 hour with the Shadow. I WANTED to love this phone….

But the screen had major viewing-angle issues – specifically when viewing in landscape mode (e.g., taking pics/video, viewing full-screen vids).

Voice quality was good.

The slow processor was not a problem – it was pretty zippy.

And the UI was ok – a notch above WM6.0 – but i found myself wishing you could customize it more.

And the damn vol buttons are SO in the wrong place when you are handling the phone for cam/vids – I found myself constantly hitting them.

A few tweaks and this COULD be a great phone – let’s hope the next phone release in this ’shadow’ line fixes some of these problems.

Dear chicken little(rage2k5), I’m in a retail store, we’ve sim swapped, there is no problem with making calls. Turns out the sky wasn’t falling, ya jerky.

You don’t have to worry about me. I wouldn’t buy a 5.2 oz phone, anyway.

Tmobile can reset the phone without the old SIM if that were to occur. The phone is not dead if you don’t have the old SIM. That’s just a crazy thing to even suggest.

By: rage2k5

rage2k5 — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:37:15 +0000

if you have a data plan on the device and you try to swap sim cards the new sim will register in the device but you will not be able to make or recieve calls unless the new sim is provisioned for data if it is not the way you have to do it is put the old sim in the device do a master reset then put the new sim back in just so you can make or recieve calls test the background too that way you can see what im talking about ( copyrighted info will not show)

funny… I put my sim in a phone at the tmobile store, took their sim out first of course, and it worked…. just fine. Either tell us what you know, or stop making stuff up.

By: rage2k5

rage2k5 — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:15:59 +0000

oh yeah do not buy a background from tzones it will not display any copyrighted content as a background try it and you will have a nice big LOCK for your background,lol

the shadow sucks it is the worst phone HTC has ever made, everyone will have their own opinions about the device, but being a tmobile pda rep the shadow is going to cause alot of issues, especially if you do a sim swap but ill let all of those who like the phone so much find out how much fun it is to do that,

HAVE FUN WITH THE SIM SWAPS!!!!!!!! LOL

Wow that looks really nice, mainly the screen, but the rest of the thing looks great. I think tmo really got a winner here.

Anyone know if the “blazing” fast hi speed is better on this phone vs. the BB Curve on Tmo? Inquiring minds want to know!

Does the phone have stylus ?

By: Brandon

Brandon — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:48:13 +0000

Yes it does accept SDHC cards

I’ve had the shadow since the beginning of October…and only a few complants.

1)being the battery life (you better have a car charger)
2)it’ll freeze sometimes, but that’s only when I’m heavy in the programs
3) real color selection on the shadow native interface…its a brown color and that UI won’t change color.
4) OneNote Mobile isn’t syncing with my computer

Other than that I love the phone. Awesome and very fun phone…

“We’ll save you the gloating about how we did this first, and leaked this, and reported that before anyone”

My, don’t we have an ego today? And that information is false anyway!

Anyone know if the shadow accepts SDCH cards? This would be a nice device, but only adding 2GB wouldn’t cut it.
