Hey i have a really crappy free phone from t-mobile right now and am looking to upgrade should i go with the new sidekick it has a full keyboard and is full of features but i hate that it doesnt have Wi-fi, or the T-mobile Shadow which has Wi-fi and windows mobile but has been severely discredited due to its horrible battery life but the keypad is nice
I personally really liked the Shadow. Sidekicks are pretty awesome, I will not deny that, but for someone like me(a wife, mother, working full-time and college student) the Shadow was a much better choice for organization and internet/fun stuff, at least for me. The wifi was one of the reasons I decided on the Shadow. Mostly everywhere I go is wifi'd, work, school, home, ect, so it made sense to get it. The browser isn't bad at all. The Sidekick had bad reception for me, the Shadow's was much better. I know the Shadow doesn't have the same "hip" appeal as the Sidekick though. I would advise going to a T-Mobile store and looking over both and deciding which one will fit your lifestyle better.
I have heard terrible things about the shadows battery power.. are they true?
