Ah, I love free. TV Guide offers a free mobile application to get TV listings. To download, point your Shadow to tvguide.handmark.com and follow the instructions. You can install the program on your storage card, which is what I did, to save some space on main memory.

The program has snappy performance, and entries load speedily over EDGE, and certainly WiFi. It even lets you select a program, get a summary of it, and set a reminder for that particular episode, or the entire series. You’ll receive a reminder via SMS, though I wish the program would integrate itself with Outlook Mobile and set reminders that way.

TV Guide Mobile isn’t perfect, though. It only shows four entries at a time, has a big advertisement at the bottom of the screen, and is a bit ugly. But hey, it’s free.

I give it Three out of Five Shadows
