I believe I read that you can't slide both on the real units.

I was just wondering why you didn't try to slide both keyboards out at the same time

Juno/Shadow looks awesome...is it QVGA?

Out of interest, is the HTC warranty international Paul?

EDIT:

If they made something like that, with the specs of the Kaiser (including the touchscreen/3G/GPS etc) + VGA or higher...I'd pull my pants down, bend over and...well you get the idea!

Having suretype style keypad makes a big difference.

T-Mobile Shadow looks really nice. It is probably the best smartphone that T-Mobile US ever had. Plus my SDA is pretty broken now...

The Shadow is one of the nicest looking Smartphones I've seen to date I reckon and the UI looks rather swish. Although...

200mhz

2MP camera

Isn't it about time these particular specs were ditched once and for all?

Is it the same processor that was in the SPV C600? If so...it's definitely getting long in the tooth now!

HTC have so much talent in their various departments...yet they still havnt really come up with the "ultimate" smartphone/PPC phone. They have flashes of genius in some of their devices, the Touch, the Juno, the Kaiser, dare I say it, the Universal, yet somehow...they never seem to think to themselves...

"Hey guys...each of these devices has some awesome features that make it really cool...why dont we make ONE device which has ALL these cool features!"

If they did, I reckon they'd clean up...both in the PDA and the smartphone markets!

I think that the processor in Shadow is the same as in Tornado.

I'm not a fan of the scroll disk generally (I find it takes too many 'turns', perhaps the turn to activity ratio is adjustable somewhere tho!)

Thankfully you can use it as a regular dpad too

There's a good few people offering unlock on eBay US, assuming you need something other than a T-Mo UK SIM.

Well, the 256MB/128MB memory makes a big difference, both on the Shadow and the Touch.

For all it's faults, the 200MHz solution does seem to give the best performance to battery life ratio!

Cool. Thanks. Was the price including shipping? Sent a question regarding which seller you purchased from.

Hi Paul,
This phone has builtin GPS.
Have you try if tomtom 5 or 6 (with fakecursor) work on this device?
I asked to a seller on ebay and he said me internal gps work only with some "operator signal" (like at&t). Is it true?

Thanks
Claudio
