T-Mobile Revises Shadow, Adds Nokia 7510

Just as T-Mobile’s Shadow was starting to get a little dusty since its introduction in 2007, T-Mobile has added a reworked version of the HTC smartphone, along with a fashion-friendly budget offering from Nokia.

The new Shadow will sport a more rounded and compact design with new colors: white mint and black burgundy. Like the original, it includes a 20-key QWERTY keyboard, QVGA screen and Wi-Fi, and runs Windows Mobile 6.1. It also retains the original price point of $150 with two-year contract.

Totally new to T-Mobile is the Nokia 7510 (which we previewed at CES), a clamshell phone with multiple faceplates, including brown, red and green. It also uses an unusual front display that shines through from below the plastic, making it appear to disappear when turned off. T-Mobile will offer it for $50 with a two-year contract.

Both phones are available immediately through T-Mobile retails stores and online.

T-Mobile’s huge lead in 5G speeds isn’t going anywhere

It looks like 2023 could shape up to be the year that we reach "peak 5G." While T-Mobile still enjoys a very healthy lead over its rivals, we're no longer seeing significant speed increases from any of the big three U.S. carriers.

That's not surprising for T-Mobile and Verizon since they now cover more than two-thirds of the U.S. population. AT&T still has room to grow, yet it seems to be in a resting phase rather than an expansion one right now.

The 5G speed race is over and T-Mobile has won

Every few months, a new market analysis comes out comparing the top 5G performance and availability among U.S. carriers. Each time, we wonder if the latest report will finally topple T-Mobile, which has held a commanding lead over rivals AT&T and Verizon for years. Yet, with each new report, T-Mobile pulls farther ahead while AT&T and Verizon are left in the dust.

With that in mind, Opensignal's latest 5G Experience Report doesn't bring too many surprises, at least in broad strokes. T-Mobile continues to deliver 5G download speeds that are more than twice those of any other carrier and more than twice the 5G availability. This means you won't just get faster performance on T-Mobile's 5G network, but you're more likely to be able to find a 5G connection.

iOS 17: Apple didn’t add the one feature I’ve been waiting for

I’m a big-screen phone advocate. While I like the comfort of holding a compact phone (such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 with a 6.1-inch display), I prefer using devices like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Oppo Find X6 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
