The HTC-made T-Mobile Shadow 2009 (branded as the T-Mobile Shadow) is a great smartphone for beginning smartphone users. It has a phone case design similar to many featurephones, lacking a touchscreen or trackball, and has a Microsoft built custom interface that makes Windows Mobile 6.1 much simpler to use. It features UMA, allowing you to use wifi to extend T-Mobile's range (much simpler than the Femtocell products that other carriers provide), a 2.0MP camera (like most HTC products, there's no flash), and all the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 standard features
