After much ado, the new T-Mobile Shadow is now available, including Hotspot@Home access so subscribers can enjoy free calls over Wi-Fi networks. The big deal here is that it’s an entry-level Windows Mobile phone; it’s not often you see complex OSes stray from your usual smartphone form factors (QWERTY, touchscreen or side-slider), but it’s a smart idea if T-Mo wants to get more folks using data-intensive services. Two colours are available: the one above is their burgundy/black combo, but a mint/white one is also available. If you’re thinking about picking up the new Shadow for $199.99 on a two year contract, be sure to check out Will’s hands-on impressions from CES.
