Anyone with the Shadow why is the screen like this?

its so annoying! all the text on the screen and stuff is like jaggy idk really how to explain it its like a game that has no anti aliasing enabled. Its even like this on pictures, while using internet explorer etc.. is this just how the screen is or what?

If I had to guess, it's because the LCD is actually VGA (look for the spaces between the pixels- you cant see them!) but currently WM6 Standard doesnt support VGA resolution yet. Just a hunch!

At a guess I suspect you either somehow have turned off Cleartype antialiasing, or you've got a bad Shadow.

Some people complained that the background made their text looked jaggy, but I didn't find this to be true.

After some research and some feedback from our HTC rep (I work for TMO) I now know that 1st gen shadows did indeed come out with VGA screens, but WM6 does not support VGA. Its like watching standard-def shows on a high-def tv-- it sucks. All newer models have QVGA screens. Call our warranty exchange department and get a new one if you'd like 1-800-937-8997
