T-Mobile HTC Shadow Finally Emerges Looking Damn Good

"The long-rumored T-Mobile Shadow (aka Juno) officially launches now. It hits stores Wednesday for $200 with voice-plan or $150 with $20-per-month unlimited data plan. (Both require two year contracts.) With it, T-Mobile and HTC have done the impossible: they have made Windows Mobile look good. Great even. Like other WM6 devices including Sprint's recently launched HTC Touch and Verizon's Motorola Q9m, it has an interface skin that shields the user from the immediate effects of the Windows Mobile UI. But unlike those other two, this one goes a little deeper, letting you do quite a bit without ever seeing Windows Mobile.">>

Mark your calendar folks! It looks like Wednesday is the official date for us to be able to purchase T-Mobile and HTC's latest offering to the Smartphone/Standard world. With the upcoming release of the Motorola Q9h as well as the recent releases of the Pantech Duo and this slick new handset, the T-Mobile Shadow, I feel like my head is going to explode trying to decide which handset I am going to carry for the next few months. This is an exciting time to be a Windows Mobile user. What makes this even more exciting is that the carriers and device manufactures' are finally doing something about the incredibly ugly user interface that Microsoft was so king to leave us with. If you ask me, it's about time too. This is something that Microsoft should have fixed years ago!
