Before anything else, most people initially judge a smartphone based on its design. So, just like in real life, something appealing to the eyes tend to evoke favorable opinions about it from a cursory look. If it's terrible, or just simply cheap look...

A very good entry smartphone

Posted: Jun 04, 2011, 10:44 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

Overal: an excellent phone with a mediocre battery. Very good entry smartphone, and first smartphone. It lagged a little bit the 2 first hours but then everything normal. Ithink that instead the phone getting used to you you have to get used to the phone if that makes any sense.

Shadow is a decent entry Windows phone

Posted: Apr 18, 2011, 9:32 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

Although discontinued, the Shadow was a great entry level Windows phone for those who don't need all of the bells & whistles. have had the phone since 2008 and it was great for basic smart phone functions.

The new Windows phones are nice, as are the iPhones & Androids, but I would like to see a 2011 version of this type of phone for a guy like me who needs some smart phone functionality with some toys and a compact design with a similar keyboard.

I just ordered the Nokia Astound (C7) as an upgrade. I hope I like it.

T-Mobile Shadow

Phone owned for more than a year

I loved this phone. It was my first Windows phone, and I didn't know what to expect. I liked the UI, call quality was okay...not the best, but decent. The semi-qwerty keyboard took some getting used to, and I wished the camera had a flash, but I was impressed with the photo quality. My issue with WinMo is the lag, and the fact that you have to manually end programs even though you exited out of them (lame). The internet wasn't impressive at all, but I loved everything else about this phone. After I switched from T-Mobile, I let my friend use it and she loved it. Its demise came from her trip to the beach (electronics do not like sand grains under the hood), immediately followed by a drop in a slow-draining sink. I loved this phone before my friend trashed it (hah!) and so did she. I wish they had made this phone for Verizon, so I could get another one and use it now.
