Sammanfattning: UMPCs (ultra mobile PCs) have been around for 2 years or so in the relative mainstream. Long enough that weve seen several very different designs from the tiny OQO to the sleek slider Sony Vaio UX to those that resemble traditional handhelds sans keyb...
Cool design idea. We like the 3G networking on Sprints EV-DO.
Design contradicts portability and convenience. Input methods are still difficult to use. Long time waking from sleep.
The HTC Shift takes a few good ideas and clubs them over the head with some serious design and performance flaws. The devices leather sleeve, the wonky slide mechanism and the tiny keys all detract from what should have been a great idea, an extra-...
Sammanfattning: About a week ago I sent the Shift review unit back, so I figured it’s time to tie up my thoughts on this controversial device. Prior to receiving the Shift, I read several reviews of the device, and they all seemed to sing the same tune: it was too...

Sammanfattning: Few devices have been as highly awaited only to be as universally panned as HTC’s Shift. This may seem like a harsh assessment but after a very long wait for the device, most people found it to be lacking. Between the devices performance issues and a s...
Sammanfattning: If you’re a mobility buff, you’ve no doubt heard of the HTC Shift and as far as UMPCs go, the Shift is hard to beat when it comes to price, features, and performance. It probably won’t replace your desktop or big-boy laptop, but it could...
Overall, I am impressed by the Shift's capabilities. It works hard, while staying cool and quiet. It is the perfect size for traveling and has unique business features like the always on access to important information with HTC SnapVUE. This screen giv...
Verdict, With its compact size, built-in mobile connection and Microsoft Office ready-loaded, the HTC Shift looks like a mobile worker’s dream machine on paper. However, Windows Vista makes the Shift’s performance poor, and its battery life ...
Performance underwhelming with Windows Vista; Short battery life; Pricey

Builtin CDMA WWAN radio, which lets you access Sprints data network when out of WiFi range. Microsoft Origami software offers a decent touchscreen experience.
Truly horrendous keyboard makes typing anything but short burst messages out of the question. Performance slower than a tortoise full of rigor mortis. No ethernet jack. One USB port. Wrapped in tacky leather. Way overpriced.
