UNBOXING: T-Mobile Shadow 2009

[edgar5001]

I think its called a "half qwerty" keyboard

[junglefresssh]

[ThoughtsMedia]

@junglefresssh The Shadow 2009 has slightly better hardware.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@basketballlover333 I doubt it - it's old.

Well, T-mobile is offering the Shadow 2 free now and guess what - no dataplan required. From my research, I find this to be the only Wi-Fi phone that doesn't require a dataplan. Yay!

[frisbee219]

What are you able to do if you don't have a data plan and can connect to Wi-Fi

(an earlier post said that you needed a data plan to check e-mail and surf the web)

[lonestarrangertx]

You could just use your internet connection over Wi-Fi and check email/surf the web, rather than pay around 30$/mo for a costly data plan.

[MartensonMafia]

For the wifi network feature, do you need a plan or is that a guarenteed feature?

[ThoughtsMedia]

WiFi is not related to cellular data in any way.

- Jason

[MartensonMafia]

Well I know that but I wasn't sure if there was a special feature they could enable or disable. Though this answers my question and I'll test it when my Shadow arrives tomorrow.

Thanks a lot :)

[ThoughtsMedia]

I wouldn't talk about a feature in the video if it was something that would be disabled. :-)

im getting this phone very soon cant wait shadow 1 was my phone for 2 years now this is def a great upgrade.

[AznPride0073]

do u need a data plan?

[ThoughtsMedia]

If you want to do data (email, Web, etc.) then yes. If you only want to text, then no.

[AznPride0073]

ok thx

[theycallmeskinny]

they should really out a full qwerty keyboard

[VideoGuyNC]

T-Mobile's coverage BLOWS. They have some neat phones, but their service area is horrible.

[ihakkr]

i have decent edge coverage, but their 3g coverage sucks

[mota411]

great job, but why do you get the phones so late? does t-mobile hate you?

[ThoughtsMedia]

Haha, no, they don't hate me - it's more that I focus on other things first and can't get to everything at once. :-)
