T-Mobile has introduced the first product in a new smartphone line, dubbed the “Shadow.” In a departure for a wireless carrier, T-Mobile worked closely with Microsoft and the device manufacturer throughout the product’s development. The Shadow’s user interface is based on features in Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, but it looks nothing like the platform. “T-Mobile’s vision for the Shadow was to offer users a device that had more of a consumer focus, compared to the enterprise-designed smartphones that are on the market,” said Ryan Reith, senior research analyst with IDC.
