T-Mobile Shadow Reviews

What Is the Shadow?

This is, for the most part, a good Windows Mobile smartphone available at a reasonable price. It tends to be less expensive than other similar models and has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 2-megapixel camera. Many of the raves about the phone concern its small size and weight: 2.1 x 4.1 x 0.6 inches, 5.3 ounces.

Communication methods include texting, AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, email, and picture messaging. You can also sync it up with Microsoft Outlook to conveniently locate your contacts, appointments, and to-do list. In addition to all that, you can use it all over the world wherever T-Mobile service is available.

Overall T-Mobile Shadow Reviews

Overall, there were a few pros and cons that seemed to keep popping up time and time again in the T-Mobile Shadow reviews.

Common Pros

  • Fun slider style
  • Camera is included (2-megapixels)
  • You can get online almost anywhere, anytime thanks to Wi-Fi capabilities
  • User-friendly
  • Small and light
  • Eye-catching (if the appearance of a phone matters almost as much as its performance)
  • A great step between simple cell phones and complicated business models that do more than most people need them to do

Common Cons

  • Slippery navigation wheel that makes it hard to control the speed at which you scroll through pages
  • Less than perfect speakerphone quality
  • Tends to be on the slower side when you're trying to do more than one thing at a time
  • Battery life is lacking, especially when WiFi is in use
  • Some say XT9 predictive text does more harm than good when you're trying to type in messages, URLs, and more, but others love it

Who Should Give It a Try

  • Those who want something between a regular cell phone and a heavy-duty business-friendly device that can be on the pricier side; this makes a great phone choice for young professionals
  • Those who like working with Windows Mobile (this one has Windows Mobile 6)
  • People who practically live online, checking email and more

Who Should Probably Pass on It

Perhaps the Shadow isn't the best fit for you. That doesn't mean you have to discount T-Mobile completely; check some of their other phones to see if there's something there that is a better match, especially if you already know the coverage and the price fit your lifestyle and budget. You should consider passing on this smartphone based on T-Mobile Shadow reviews if you:

  • Rely on their phone heavily for business use
  • Talk, surf, text, and more quite frequently
  • Tend to use your phones heavily rather than for a quick call or message here and there (you may find yourself infuriated with the short battery life)

The Bottom Line

T-Mobile Shadow reviews suggest that this is a good phone for those in the transition stage between regular cell phones that simply call and text for the most part and those that do everything and suit the needs of serious on-the-go businesspeople. While all of the reviews did not rave about its complete superiority in the smartphone market, they did tend to conclude that while it has its downfalls, it does have a spot in the cell phone line-up, especially in the hands of young professionals. It does what it set out to do, but there are a few quirks that the future T-Mobile Shadow models could stand to work out.
