neo Here is a piece that was on the  Windows Mobile Team Blog that really talks about a new look, a new feel, a refreshed emergence of the Windows Mobile Home Screen.  In fact, there is "Just a Shadow of the old homescreen left…"

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).

Sound interesting?  You bet it does so check out what Jayongg had to say here at the Windows Mobile Team Blog
