T-Mobile’s Shadow might not be the most interesting smartphone for you to enjoy this year but it can be an alternative to everything else the carrier has to offer. The Shadow 2009 could do justice to its predecessor. The phone is expected to arrive on January 28th but we have no idea how much it will cost yet.

Here’s what you can expect from the Shadow 2009, and if you think we’ve omitted the 3G support, well we didn’t. The Shadow 2009 simply doesn’t have it:
