Details of what appears to be the successor to the T-Mobile Shadow have been published on the FCC website. The smartphone, made by HTC, now runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a faster processor; otherwise the feature set is very similar to the existing device, with a 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen, scroll-wheel and slide-out 20-button keyboard.
There’s also a 2-megapixel camera, WiFi, microSD slot for augmenting internal memory and touch-sensitive buttons on the front panel. However there’s no 3G support: the handset tops out at GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity.
What is does have, however, is UMA support, which indicates that the device may offer T-Mobile’s Unlimited HotSpot Calling VoIP service. Unsurprisingly there’s no word on release or pricing, but expect the T-Mobile Shadow II to drop relatively soon.

HTC have bought out design firm One & Co, which helped the handset maker design both the Touch Diamond smartphone and the TouchFLO 3D interface which has graced the company’s Windows Mobile devices since. While the acquisition obviously spells closer interaction with One & Co designers and future HTC devices, the design firm will also continue as a standalone consultancy.
Under the terms of the agreement, One & Co’s designers will work more closely with the HTC product team, and hopefully assist in creating devices with beauty more than just skin-deep; conversely, HTC designers will be working with One & Co’s team on non-smartphone products. Current and previous clients include Adidas, K2, Kensington, The North Face, Salomon and Sony.
Exact details on the terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed, and it’s unclear how much HTC paid for the privately-held design firm.

HTC and One & Co have been collaborating since 2006, when the first plans for the making of HTC Touch Diamond were laid.
Now, in order to further strengthen its position as a leader in mobile design, HTC has announced that it’s buying One & Co for an undisclosed amount of money.
One & Company Design Inc. (better known as One & Co) is a lifestyle design firm based in San Francisco, USA. With this acquisition, HTC hopes to bring new innovative handsets to the market.
Well, if these are anything like the Touch Diamond or the Touch HD, I guess everyone will be happy.
“Design is key, it is why you love or hate something. Integrating iconic design into HTC products is an inspiring and dynamic challenge that requires a unique combination of consumer insight, creativity, innovation and an appetite to take risks; attributes that embody One & Co,” declared Horace Luke, Chief Innovation Officer at HTC Corporation.
Besides collaborating with HTC, over the years One & Co has been working with other big names, including Apple, Microsoft, Motorola, Dell, Sony and even Nike and Fila.
