I gave this phone a 4 because, the slide feature need a ledge ... things that this phone does. I love the Shadow, the only issue I have with it is that HTC uses a ExtUSB port on there phones ...

The HTC Shadow intrigued me and I changed my plan ... with the scroll wheel (which I'm also quite fond of), the photo slide show layout is cool, and I rarely need to use the 'start' menu.
