T-Mobile Shadow first impressions: welcome to Neo

Note to handset manufacturers: if you’re not already getting your devices to Matt Miller on or before you launch a new device, you’re behind the eight-ball. Seriously! He did it again! Matt went to the T-Mobile store to pick up a new BlackBerry Curve, but all the customer buzz was about the Shadow so made came home flat. As in with out the Curve. Hmm…that was a bad one, wasn’t it?On a more serious note, he’s got his detailed first impressions on the new Windows Mobile 6 GSM phone along with some video you’ll want to see. Why? It shows off the customized “Neo” home screen that Microsoft worked on with T-Mobile. Windows Mobile as a platform has always been functional, but lacking in style and usability. Looks like that’s changing if this Microsoft explanation of Neo is any indication.
