If there's one thing that annoys me it's that moment when you go round a corner and your phone slips off the side of the passenger seat. Why do I do it still? It wedges itself somewhere deep between the door and the seat and then, when you …

Yup, it looks like the all-new T-Mobile (USA) Shadow will be called the.. err.. T-Mobile Shadow. It's already had a firm hands-on at engadgetmobile.com. Now, we've always thought that the new one would be called the Shadow II (which would make sense f...
