The new HTC phone on review was the new HTC Shadow 2009 which is almost identical to the original, but it’s really more than that. Note that this is not the Shadow II, just a refreshed version of the Shadow.

The new Shadow is a slider. The size is still the same from the original version.  The weight is just right and the materials looks cool.  Its comfy and easy to use.  The slider system works very well sliding smoothly without looseness.  The resolution is great in a large and bright display.

What really change primarily is coming from the inside.  The new HTC shadow boasts a faster processor, more memory and updated parts and software.  The result is one amazing phone.  Everything works faster, better and smoother now than the first release of the HTC Shadow.

HTC did a good job with the new Shadow which is a very huge improvement from the original.
