    T-Mobile just released the Shadow device yesterday and it brings a fun, custom UI developed by Microsoft and HTC. You can now access and control all the primary functions of your device from the unique Home screen. This kind of customization is needed to bring consumers to Windows Mobile and the Shadow may be a hit.

    HTC and T-Mobile have done a great job with the packaging that reminds me of the high quality Samsung Q1 UMPC packaging.

    The Shadow lies on a soft foam bed when you lift the lid on the black box. It really focuses you in on the device.

    Most keys have two letters on them, except for L and M. It takes some getting used to in order to use the keyboard, but the predictive text input helps.
