2007-11-18
hi I'm Mike bettin for all shadow calm and I'm proud to bring you this exclusive unboxing video of the t-mobile shadow the newest device for t-mobile's Elena first things first let's get a good look at this box we got a nice embossed image of the t-mobile shadow on the front some more icons on the side a list of what is in the box then on the back some of the things that the t-mobile shadow is capable of ok let's open this thing up alright we have this nice high quality box feels pretty tough feels like our shadows going to arrive in good order let's open it up look at that we got a tmobile shadow on board alright we'll take that out and I'm going to set that right there take this foam out of here and we have some more covers in hands what's under here first looks like we got some user manuals this plastic got a tips and tricks guide with some really quick reference for the tmobile shadow we have a start guide this is appears to be a poster in case you have some wall space you want to take up and we have a user manual sings pretty thick for all that in-depth knowledge it's actually 211 pages with the index so be sure you set some time aside read that limited warranty microsoft software agreement and a getting started CD i connect that to your pc probably has activesync on there for you alright let's see what else we got here we have a carrying case good a nice soft leather it's got a magnetic attachment there and a belt loop back there one else we have we've got an audio charging cable and you open right up it appears that the tmobile shadow has a proprietary connector on the for the tmobile shadow for charging and whatnot it almost looks like a mini USB but it's some different type of mini USB I guarantee you don't have this cable laying around it appears that you're going to need this attachment to charge your tmobile shadow it has a normal mini USB and another proprietary there I guess we'll find out what that's for later do not lose this I guarantee it's going to cause you some problems and we got a charging cable seems to be the AC adapter all right AC adapter that's mini USB right there get some focus alright and then we peers that we have five volts one amp set that aside most men will be have a stereo headset some soft ear cell cushions for your headset and it appears that t-mobile isn't going easy on us with this proprietary attachment again we have this here's the attachment again and it it's about the same size as a mini USB but not quite there we'll get a good look at that later I'll find out what the exact specification of that is let you know and finally a USB sinking cable for syncing to your computer and the end of this is mini USB so that appears to plug into here to our little chart and thinner and then on the headphones I suppose we can listen to music while it's charging so how often we're going to do that I'm wondering about this how valuable this is going to become alright so let's move all that out of the way and get a good look at the shadow all right there's the case now for the t-mobile shadow as you can see you might be able to see I've already gotten some dust and some fingerprints on the the top here except it's really shiny and slick the back real soft and we got a 2 megapixel camera the speaker the battery compartment see under here ah the sim card goes into there so you can get a good look in there all right and this little metal tray slides out so you can pull your SIM card out push back in when you're not pulling it out the battery back in there the battery is 920 milliamp hours so depending on how efficient the tmobile shadow is what power usage depends on how long that'll go we have a button here on the side and camera button over here the bottom has a land yard attachment seems to be a microphone input the microSD slot looks like the power attachment there and there is our proprietary cable and then we have volume buttons top vanilla nothing there now for the front face we have speaker up here we got two soft keys this is a windows mobile or windows mobile smartphone we have a home button looks to be a back button a send button and an end call power button of course the t-mobile logo then we have this nice scroll wheel here which also acts as a d-pad so you have different directions there in the center is like an ok key let's slide this open and we have our 20 key Cordy style keypad which is a little bit different it's one of the things that makes the t-mobile shadow truly unique is its qwerty phone but it doesn't have a full-size keyboard so this will take a little bit of getting used to one of the things I like about this is it's one solid piece these aren't individual keys so you're not gonna get a lot of dust and grit inside of these keypad and in between the buttons so there's some nice sliding action whoo hot sliding action good stuff all right you
