I have been lucky enough to be included in the closed beta of the new Skyfire Browser. Before I opened the newly installed browser on my windows mobile standard smartphone, I honestly didn’t think it would be as cool as it turns out to be. Watch the video below to learn more:

T-Mobile has issued an update for the Shadow. Many of you have already taken the plunge and updated your Shadows. We’d like to hear from those that have the new update and know how things are going. Of interest to many is the ‘enhanced text entry’, faster performance and better battery life. So hit that More >

Before you go clicking on and updating your Shadow please understand some things. There aren’t many software improvements in this update as far as I can tell. It is more of a fun update than anything else. If you do decide to update your Shadow with the new ROM update be advised you will completely erase More >

The major players are on the stage now, with releases ’sometime soon’ for most, and the mobile community has only to wait to catch some browsing goodness.
SkyFire promises a mobile experience similar to the desktop, is light on the CPU as it renders on the server side. That is the downside though. Someone can easily More >

T-Mobile worked with Microsoft on this new Windows Mobile homescreen interface dubbed ‘Neo’. The results are a friendlier more efficient interface and it is definitely worth checking out. Watch the video for more…

I have had a chance to use the T-Mobile Shadow for a few days now and I would like to report on my findings.
Overall it has a solid smooth feel when in hand. The Screen is slick and although you can get some fingerprints on it quickly they do not inhibit viewing the screen at More >

Is anyone else annoyed by the font being used on OM4? I’ve tried different phone settings, and font sizes in the browser, but they all look terrible. Ideas?
about 5 years ago
Yes, I found it quite surprising the way it looked. On my Wizard it looked fine.

Mike,
I downloaded Opera Mini 4 per the instructional video but it fails to connect to the internet. I currently have the 5.99 t-zones plan and not the data plan. I don’t think this should affect it. Do you know of any issues that might be behind this problem.
Thanks again,
Danny

Off-topic since you don’t have a forum yet. Is there an easy way to dial numbers that are listed with letters? Like 888-905-HOPE? I tried dialing one the other day and had to laugh when I looked at the keyboard on the Shadow. Should be some solution, yes? Or do I have to borrow another cell phone? Thanks. Love the website!

Danny,
Unfortunately if you only have t-zones and you aren’t connected to a wireless network I believe you are out of luck. T-Zones allows use to wirelessly connect to T-Mobile computers not to the internet and Operas computers (which is where Opera Mini connects to download websites once they are parsed on Opera’s servers).

how exactly can i get an icon of the browswer on my phone so i can always access it?
about 5 years ago
ok i know this probably doesnt belong here but i need some help with my text messages, so here is my question. How do you access a text you saved to as a draft and didnt send it.
i am having one heck of a time trying to find my draft box. i just noticed this today and now it bugging me to no end
about 5 years ago
Ryan- when you are in your text inbox list what you do is touch the right soft-key and that will bring up some options and just click on Folders and you will see the Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, and Sent Items. good luck.

From the home screen, select Start and then highlight Internet Explorer and press the right soft key and select Speed Dial. Choose the number you want to assign it to and select Done.
After that, from the home screen just hold the number you selected and it will launch it. You can do this from any app in the Start menu.

Do you know How to download a MOVIE< TV SHOW OR MUSIC VIDEO ON THE SHADOW?

What exactly is the deal with the 5.99 Tmobile Web? can you actually access the internet and go on whatever site you wish? or is it just like a t-zones type thing. If you can access actually websites, can you use it anywhere?

You can drag and drop video files to your Shadow using ActiveSync or Vista Device Center. Just plug in your Shadow via miniUSB and find the mobile device in the mycomputer folder on your PC. I would recommend using a MicroSD card as the 150MB on the phone will fill up fast.
On a side note it would be nice if each comment was its own thread so you could reply to an individual comment. This may be the case in the forum… Haven’t checked yet.

The Web site has been redesigned since then. There is no listing for “High Memory Version.” Are you referring to the generic version called “Advanced MIDP 2 ?”
about 5 years ago
You must be at the wrong link then. I just checked and everything is as should be. View this post on your Shadow and click the link above. It will take you directly to the page where you download the high memory version
