hi I am Mike Benton for all shadow calm and I would like to bring you a quick look at the NiO interface on the new tmobile shadow so let's take a look at this real quick to unlock the phone as you could you might be able to see it says unlocks we push the soft key and then the HOME key so quickly on the left side here these icons represent pains as you navigate through these screens you get a nice little animation and it will bring up some different pains and you can pretty much get all your day-to-day your usual activities done from the home screen without having to navigate through any menu so this is the home pain and if you have my fav set up you'll see your circle of your five faves right there the next pain is the no notifications stepping back a moment on the my pain on the home pain you have the contacts button for the soft key there and the start start will take you to the program's a more in-depth traditional look at the windows mobile system and then the contacts bring up your contacts notifications you can left and right through them right now it says there's no notification so there's that's great great out you can take a look at recent calls text messages picture messages voice notes windows live if you have that set up you just enter your windows live ID and it will hook up there and setting up any emails if you have an email setup that would also show up in this pain for appointments with no appointments but right from the home screen I can set up a new appointment or I can take a quick look at the debut and we'll see that we have no appointments so we're just looking at the NiO interface so we're going to go back there the t-zone the t-mobile icon there goes right to browse web that opens up an ER net explore if you hit browse tzones it will open up the proprietary t mobile wap browser which is really good for their site because there mobile sites pretty much designed for that as you can see there's a timer on the lock so you don't accidentally call people it will automatically lock so going back to the tmobile icon you can browse the web or you could go to your tmobile account or you can browse wallpaper or hifi ringers of course those cost money it's something else that you might not see is this d-pad will actually scroll through these by just spinning it or you could push your left and your right selecting them would just be the button in the center it's going down the cool thing if you have your library selected from the home page you can go through windows mobile or Windows Media Player or you can just go to the full screen if you don't want to do that you can actually from that screen the home screen we can play your music pretty cool so interesting stuff there from the pictures they have a picture pain and right from the home screen you can go through the pictures that are on your phone within the NiO interface which I really like that so it's really quick you don't have to navigate submenus for looking through your pictures to show them as a picture of a bicycle i bought this picture of jupiter on my last pass through the solar system here we go settings these are quickly you can manage your connections if you manage your memory closing unused programs if you think that it's running a little bit slow and you've been using it all day long tell you what your battery status is you can change the ringtone or your wallpaper or even your profile now this is the one I suggest if you want to go silent change your profile from here instead of using the volume buttons on the side the volume buttons control most of the sounds but I've noticed a couple times that alerts with sound even though this was all the way down so it's going here and change it to silent or you can click all settings and go through more in-depth settings for different things on the phone so we'll take a look at that later but right now this is pretty much it for the the NiO interface as you can see you get most things done right from the home screen you notice there's a compose button right here right there from the text message screen I can hit compose and it'll just bring up I can start typing out messages get stuck like it thank you come back again soon and we'll go over some tips and tricks on how to use your tmobile shadow to be more productive thanks again you
