Vodafone quietly kills Windows Mobile-based 920

We hope you weren't holding out to scoop up one of those Vodafone 920s to slide into the Festivus stocking, because, well, it no longer exists. It seems that Voda has up and pulled a Foleo on the HTC-sourced Windows Mobile slider, silently dropping it from the planned holiday lineup without giving a reason why. Maybe the carrier felt it duplicated some of its other offerings too closely, maybe it couldn't pass the carrier's usual battery of tests -- but whatever the reason, it's time to find another phone to give to that WinMo lover in your life.

Maybe they're gonna get the Shadow instead.

This looks like the Shadow HTC made for T-Mo, but with a different nav and keypad. Apparently, the 200 MHz processor on the Shadow left the performance sub-par, and battery life was an issue for many people. Perhaps this is what scared Voda away.
