Neo was the codename for the T-Mobile Shadow’s custom UI. Over at the Windows Mobile Team Blog, jayongg discusses this UI.

Some of you might have heard of the T-Mobile Shadow. The Shadow is a cool-looking device, with a 20 key slide-out keypad, circular scroll wheel, and large screen!  But when you boot up for the first time, you may wonder, “Is this really Windows Mobile?”

The answer is YES! :-)

With this phone you get a friendly homescreen experience and integration with your T-Mobile myFaves service.  For those who don’t know, the myFaves service from T-Mobile allows you to make unlimited calls to five designated people. From the homescreen, you can make changes to your five myFaves and get information about them.

For example, if you missed a call or text message, or if there’s an upcoming anniversary or birthday, little micro-icons will appear next to your myFave (in the accompanying image, notice the little birthday gift next to the upper left myFave).

I say WELL DONE guys! This custom UI and the one for Vodaphone are stellar!
