Motorola Shadow Pre-Release Thread

[Amu]

Btw Bill and Winston, and the rest of the "insiders/employees" I meant no disrespect what-so-ever in any of my posts towards you as well. Some of us take your words as maturely as possible, unlike in other blog sites/threads/people. It doesn't matter who the driver, or passenger is because the one's who are known are you (Bill and Winston) and no one else, which of course some of us (can't say everyone of course) have come to listen to. So please, don't take the words in a wrong way, but it's just fun and interesting to try and unriddle your riddles , however, we do it in a diplomatic and wildly (imaginative, can't we dream lol) way. If you so decide not to comment back to some of our posts and/or "speculations" then we will understand. But, we will still love unriddling your riddles if you so decide to post no matter what . Sorry again if any of comments/posts sounded rude, I meant no disrespect.

Nope, I've seen the light. I am switching to the iPhone and only going to use AT&T.


I don't care about 1GHz cores or HDMI outputs or 4.3" screens or different application processors. I only care about pretty.

Verizon's 3G compared to AT&T and TMO, not including LTE since I don't think EV-DO can be changed to LTE, or can it? If the Shadow went HSPA/HSPA+ then that would be better than Verizon in regards to 3G not 4G, and also a cheaper bill. Yeah, it's LTE results were high, but not it's EV-DO. So if the Shadow isn't LTE but 3G on Verizon's network then it will be slow. Isn't Verizon's 3G/EV-DO slower than 3G/HSPA/HSPA+? It may have more coverage, but not the speed correct?

Unfortunately so much of AT&T and TMO's speed depends on where you are at. It can vary widely.

Yes HSPA+ can be a lot (a lot, a lot) faster than EVDO.

Oh, and if Shadow went HSPA+ why talk about it in the Verizon forum? That would just lead to a lot of disappointed people here.

All that said, do you really find Verizon's 3G to be slow? Unless you are trying to stream HD video I can't see how most will be effected.

Yeah, it depends on where you are. Where I live, west coast, AT&T and TMO have the best reception with 4 bars at least and 3G everywhere (not SF of course).

True, but why not start opening the eyes of the rest of the people instead of them posting infinite number of threads stating why no HSPA version, right? Might as well kill their hopes on that if they were planning a HSPA version instead of having new people just post "Will there be an AT&T version?" "OMFG! Motorola just lost a customer!!!" and other non-sense. The end result will be true devoted Verizon customers that don't care about the 3G speed.

Not really, I just wanted to state that. Some people reading this thread might be wanting an AT&T and/or TMO version. I don't mind the 3G speed, but I do mind if the device has the hardware to remedy that "mistake."

I for one will be anxiously awaiting for the Shadow or the Droid 2 . Nothing against you of course Winston

Are you serious . The great Winston going for pretty instead of usefulness?

ill always prefer "function over fashion"

but I know what winston has seen,and it is "pretty"

who, me?

And if any of the phones I am thinking about pull a Napoleon it will be extremely disappointing.





Oh, and whoever called me great. Can you explain that to my wife because I have never heard her say that about me?

Lol. She didn't even say that you were great when you got a raise? Seems women are only interested when those digits increase

I mean, give the poor device a nice aesthetic look (Nexus One), but give it power as well (Nexus One).
"Here's a pretty device, however, it has an old Qualcomm chipset clocked at 400mHz, has a 3" QVGA screen with 65k color, resistive touch with stylus input, 64MB of RAM and ROM, no internal memory, and no external card slot, has 2G/EDGE and no 3G..."

I wonder if we'll see Froyo running on the Shadow? or will it be until the Droid 2?

Word is running around the web Froyo may be on the Droid even. So I'm sure it will be seen on the newer Moto devices.

Curious if non Google stuff will be forced on US phones.
