For those young and old who are looking to upgrade their current cell phone, or smart phone if you will- the Shadow HTC made by T-Mobile offers a nice compromise for those who are ready to upgrade to a phone with more complex features but aren’t quite interested in a business device such as a Blackberry, or similar types of phones.

The Shadow is also a good choice for those looking for an entry-level type of smart phone, as it is quite affordable and operates using the capabilities of a Windows Mobile smartphone. Another quality appealing to customers is the phone’s sleek design and trim frame- measuring 4 inches tall by 2 inches wide and is 0.6 inch deep- only weighing two ounces. The phone is available in two choices of colors: copper or sage.

The display is very appealing to the eye using a 2.6 inch QVGA display and is capable of showing 65,000 colors at a 320X420-pixel resolution. As far as the keyboard is concerned, the Shadow uses Research in Motion’s SureType hardware so you are able to use that while texting or using the XT9 method. The data on the phone speeds at an average of about 90Kbps due to being on the EDGE network. There is also built in Bluetooth and a 2-megapixel camera.

If you are looking to specifically download the app Whatsapp on your T-Mobile Shadow cell phone you are going to have to follow the following instructions: seeing as your software on your device must be up to date, users may go into the Android market on the phone, (now changed to “Google Play”) and must have a Google account to interact or download anything within the Google Play store, whether it be music, apps, books, etc. available for download. Once you are in the app store on your phone, search for “Whatsapp” in the search bar, and make sure it is spelled correctly.

Also make sure that you are searching specifically for an app, not any other kind of download. Once you find it in the search results, you will know by the little green circle logo with a telephone inside of it, you should be able to download the app by then providing your Google account information. This specific app works on an iPhone and is found in the Apple App Store, Blackberry, and all Symbian devices. Therefore, it should be able to be compatible to download onto the T-Mobile Shadow phone.
