HTC Shadow 2 (Shadow Hotspot)
$200.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Durably built, can be dropped without breaking. Stylish design has rounded corners and clean lines. Reasonably compact when slid shut, doesn't take up much room in a purse.
The Cons:Hard to hear the other side of the call, volume doesn't go up far. Battery doesn't last very long between charges. When dialing the sound of the buttons plays loudly, bad for quieter areas, can't be shut off.
