Today I made a post about a heavily biased review slam of the T-Mobile Shadow based purely on his dislike for Windows Mobile 6 and the way it works. I shared how I didn’t have the time to really post in depth to debunk some of his rants, but someone saw the post… My friend Matt Miller, the Mobile Gadgeteer. Matt makes some really good points and I have to agree on the fact that Windows Mobile not being perfect. Let’s face it, no OS really is.

Now back to Pogue’s thoughts on the Shadow. I will try to address each observation he made and add my commentary that reflects my usage of the Shadow after a full week. I am also adding a second YouTube video to go along with my first impressions article that shows you more of the user aspects of the device, such as the indicators and most recently used applications feature. BTW, I wrote 90% of this article on the train ride home on the Shadow because it was the most capable document creation device in my gear bag and I wanted to create this article while his statements were clear in my head. I did have the iPhone connected via WiFi so I could view the article as I wrote on the Shadow.

Do read on to ZDNet.com to read the rest of Matt’s article. T-Mobile Shadow sets the standard for Windows Mobile usability

For another point of view, long time iPaqHQ/Mobilitysite member, JNGold, brought our attention to a video from Chris Pirrilo. I was going to link this a few days ago, but got caught up… Thanks JNGold.
