Just when we were getting used to T-Mobile's Shadow (http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/the-t-mobile-shadow-october-31-for-149-99/), it appears we're going to have to make room in our pockets for its successor... the Shadow II. Picking up almost exactly where the first iteration left off, this grainy spy shot reveals that its going to be more of the same for the revamp, save for some new rounded edges and oh-so-chic reflective finish. We'll assume the company is sticking to the plan with a slide out numeric keypad, but you never know; they could be hiding a QWERTY under there... or some kind of weird Gremlin.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE SIDEKICKS NOW????:confused::confused:

Microsoft completes Danger acquisition, creates new Premium Mobile Experiences division (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/15/microsoft-completes-danger-acquisition-creates-new-premium-mobi/)

Microsoft's just announced that its $500M buyout of Sidekick maker Danger (http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-said-to-have-dropped-500-million-on-danger/) is complete, and that it's rolling the new team into its own unit, the Premium Mobile Experiences division. Ready to follow the chain of corporate command? PMX is under the Mobile Communications Business unit at MS, which itself falls under the Entertainment and Devices Division responsible for the Xbox and Zune. Got all that? Good. Danger's management team won't be directly calling the shots at PMX, though -- they'll be reporting to Roz Ho, who you might remember as the former head of the Mac Business Unit. Ho says the goal of PMX is to have people "smile every time they look at their phone," which hopefully means we'll be seeing a lot more Danger influence on Windows Mobile than the other way around. Still, "Premium Mobile Experiences" is an interesting choice of name, especially in the same division as the 360 and Zune -- dare we dream of a Microsoft-branded consumer phone?

The T-Mobile Shadow II i already saw on Tmonews.com earlier, but, great find. I'm going to be getting the T-Mobile Shadow II they said it'll be out this summer be for the "Back to School Season"; i'm hoping July or August. As far as Danger, and Microsoft, I hope Microsoft doesn't throw away a good thing such as the "Sidekick", and just start building their own brand of phones, people will be seriously upset. I'm waiting for the successor of the Sidekick LX, and Slide, and I hope they have improvements, as 2.0 Megapixel camera (autofocus, and flash would be nice), Video Capture, and Playback, and 3G, and they'll have a good thing going :D

That Shadow II looks pretty nice for sure.

I actually just picked up my first WM Smartphone (grabbed a Qtek 8500, aka the HTC StarTrek) and wouldn't mind trying some others. Though I still prefer the professional version myself I think.
