I agree on that. SMS/Email notifications are already included. Now, the notifications are read off from specific registry entries. If you are using it on a different phone, then I cannot be sure that the entries are at the same place as in the Shadow. The iconbar does not extend to all windows, so even I am not sure how the speakerphone would help.

Hi,

I have not seen it posted anywhere else, but Motorola has released a new ROM for the Euro Q9H.

Major changes I've noticed:
* Windows Live;
* Windows Mobile Messenger;
* A nice "Welcome Wizard";
* Help and Quick Start application;
* The voice button now toggles the Speakerphone on/off
* Can use the phone as a Bluetooth PC remote control (Powerpoint and Windows Media Player)
* Keyboard lock with "home", "space"
* Phone settings menu reworked
* Automatic or selectable language dictionary;
* Audio Enhancements (Spacial Audio, Bass Boost)
* Packet Data Counter

New bugs:
* After installation, phone restarted in Italian, but could be changed to UK in the settings;
* Z and Y keys are inverted (I have a Swiss (QWERTZ) and not UK (QWERTY) Q9H);
* Reboots by itself every couple of days;

Still existing bugs:
* Voice recognition still fails with "Out of Memory Error" when many contacts;

It is available from your national www.hellomoto.*** (www.hellomoto.fr, www.hellomoto.co.uk, ...) under Software update. A more direct link: http://direct.motorola.com/ENG/SoftwareUpd...%20Data%20Cable .

Still no Wifi, no GPS, no possibility to disable UMTS (to save battery).

I have been running it for about a week now and am very happy about the upgrade.

Attached is the iconbar with landscape and background transparency support!! Instructions are in a Readme in the zip. I hope it will be of use to the non-Shadow community.
