It runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition (the new name for the smartphone version of the OS, which lacks a touch screen and features more phone-like ergonomics).

The Shadow has the typical 201MHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor with a better than average 256 megs of flash memory and 128 megs of RAM. Sounds like your average MS Smartphone... but the changes (other than lovely looks) come in the form of usability improvements."</em></p><p><img border="0" alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1196967170.usr11642.jpg" /></p><p>I've only had a glimpse of the Shadow but from what I've seen, heard, and read about it, the Shadow seems like a device that can fill a void for some people. I definitely need a full qwerty so this isn't going to be replacing my Dash but for those of you that are comfortable with Sure Type, this may be the device for you. So how does the Shadow come out in MTR's review? You'll just have to head on over and see for yourself. Be sure to come back and let us know if you agree or not. For those of you who actually own the Shadow, do you like it?</p>
