Design and Build
The compact and sleek design of the T-Mobile Shadow set it apart from its contemporaries. With dimensions of 103 x 53 x 15 mm and a solid weight of 150 grams, it was comfortable to hold and operate. The phone featured a distinctive half-QWERTY keyboard, which combined the form of a classic smartphone keypad with some of the enhanced typing capabilities of a full QWERTY keyboard. This made for a faster and more intuitive typing experience, a crucial feature in the pre-touchscreen era. Its overall aesthetics were completed with a cool black finish, giving it a modern look for that period.
