T-Mobile launches new Shadow today alongside Nokia 7510

It always brings joy to our hearts to see a new UMA-compatible device come into the market, and T-Mobile's revised Shadow from HTC certainly fits the bill. In fact, it's being launched today as the very first Windows Mobile device to support HotSpot calls over WiFi, joining BlackBerrys and a handful of dumbphones on the support list. Speaking of HotSpot dumbphones, the stylish 7510 flip is also hitting shelves today with changeable faceplates, a trick semi-hidden external display, and 2 megapixels of Pulitzer-caliber shooting power around back in addition to the WiFi radio. Nab the Shadow for $199.99 and the 7510 for $49.99, both on contract after rebates.

So now, if its not a smartphone, its a dumbphone?

[Gad Get Posted Jan 28th 2009 5:45AM]

Yep.

Oh I've seen some people say "dump"phone.. Dumbphone is a lot better.

[Gad Get Posted Jan 28th 2009 6:59AM]

I suppose you could call it a non-smartphone, but that would just be dumb.

The original Shadow was a dumbphone... I hate mine.
I've never wanted to throw a piece of electronics against a wall so hard in my life... and I played Karateka on a Commodore 64 and forgot to WALK into the last room. I was THIS close to chucking that joystick into the wall

it's pink?

[Chefgon Posted Jan 28th 2009 6:57AM]

Looks like red and black to me.

I've never quite understood the appeal of the Shadow, you can get the same screen resolution on the Dash in a thinner form factor with a full qwerty keyboard. Unless you're just really into that sliding action, what's the point?

Adjust the color on your LCD

Too bad it's stuck with WinMo. The hardware is nice, the software is vomit inducing.

If you throw up over a mobile operating system, then you need medicine, followed by suicide.

Who knows what digits lie in the contact lists of men?

The shadow knows!

speaking of smartphones making calls over wifi, any clue when the G1 will support this? Ever?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 28th 2009 6:35PM]

AAAAAHHHH! The horror that is suretype!

Is this the first phone to support wifi that *doesn't* require you to buy a data plan?

Oh yeah the calls over wifi thing is cool. I wonder if it uses minutes.
