Motorola Shadow Pre-Release Thread

[Ark6]

Its a toss up between this and the Incredible....
Well if the Shadow is that good, I can always sell the Incredible and pick up the Shadow at retail price. :/

I think that is a 3.8 inch screen and Bill said the Shadow was 4.1

That picture is very old. I remember it from well into last year, so even if that picture is legit, the phone should look nothing like that now. That prototype would have to be at least 6 months old, which is ages for a mobile phone.

Still waiting and planning on this coming out in June. Any news on how or if the testing is going on the Shadow?

Yeah my bad I didn't notice the date on the BGR page. It was posted in the Droid 2 thread so just brought it over without looking too much.

It also states on that page that the phone was a fake anyway so never mind haha

No idea what that unit is or was..shadow is square and paper thin.that looks like a moto iPhone clone.

Good to hear. What I've been waiting for for years is basically the HTC Incredible with a larger screen and classic Motorola reception and sound quality. I'm hoping the Shadow is that so I can finally dump the phone I've had since the start of the Bush Administration's second term.

Square?

I'm guessing he means square corners/edges. Not a square device like the Kin 1.

Oh, ok. That's good to know. I was about to stop checking on this thread/device because if it was square I wouldn't get it. lol

any word if the shadow will have HD radio? And hopefully it has a 1ghz or faster processor(or Nvidia Tegra!!!)

Apparently it's a 720MHz OMAP3630. Though I'd be surprised if it can't overclock to 1.2GHz+ (based on how well the OMAP3430 overclocks, and the 3630 is 45nm instead of 65nm)

Why? I see people post things like this all the time and I always want to ask why. Do you have any idea why or do you just like the number 1GHz?

Think about PCs, a 3GHz Pentium can't compare to a 2GHz I3. It isn't even close.

Can anyone give me a single good reason the application processor should be clocked above 1GHz besides it looks good on the box?

Apparently people still think that more GHz = better lol. "Do you want a bar of gold, or an airplane?"

Off topic: The Dell Lightning is looking very good

So will the Shadow come out before Droid2 (which you mentioned as maybe around the fireworks)? Before? Way before? Really soon?

And what do you mean by square? Corners or the actual dimensions?

I noticed Dell's new android phone has a 4.1" OLED screen. Will the shadow be using the same screen?
