Reports say that Windows Mobile 6.1-powered Shadow 2009 will have a 2.6 inch-screen, WIFI, Bluetooth, quad-band GPRS/EDGE, and a 20-key slide-out keyboard, plus spin wheel navigation.

The official spec list will come out days before the official launch date of Jan. 28.

The first-generation Shadow was released last year, endearing it to fans who loved its SureType keyboard, slim form factor and feature set.

Like its predecessor, Shadow 2009 will be made for T-Mobile by HTC.
