HTC Shift in the concrete jungle
Lord…that was quick. No sooner does the venerable HTC Advantage show up for sale in the US, HTC’s next tour de force emerges for the drooling public. One of the first review copies of HTC’s entry into the UMPC market, the Shift, has found its way into the hands of a man named Hugo, and boy is he impressed. The HTC Shift is an incredibly powerful machine, sporting a dual-boot system that allows for both Windows Vista Business and Windows Mobile to be run on the same machine…sort of like Apple’s Boot Camp for UMPCs. The device appears to be about as small as the other UMPC contenders, like the Samsung Q1. Unlike the other two, however, the Shift sports a nearly full-sized finger keyboard. Nice! Other specs include 1GB RAM, a built-in HSDPA radio, and both an Intel Santa Rosa a110 processor for the Vista side, and a 400MHz processor for the Windows Mobile functions. Hit the link for Hugo’s lengthy video review, and prepare to to be dazzled. Yes. dazzled.
how is that umpc. looks kinda big to me
big? thats definitely a umpc, looks great and sounds great but what bank do i need to rob to pay for it. -2 OS, 2 Processors – sounds Ultra expensive for that ultra mobile.
Is this the 90’s? Why is that the biggest phone ever? Can you imagine seeing somebody walking down the street with this thing to their ear? I would trip them just for the hell of it.
Advantage or shift, what choices? Too bad there was no price quoted for this baby it would be good to know what I am about to loose or gain.
clear ly tha advantage has mor hard disk spacean more prcessing power an comes unlock ill pass on this
Khalil moron its a umpc not a phone…it may be able to make calls or use cell data but its definitely a Ultra Mobile PC. come on get a clue.
gal, this one runs full windows and wm, full intel processor and mobile processor, how does this one not have more processing power?
…And there’s this BRAND NEW technology called Blue Tooth that makes it so you don’t have to hold things to your ears (Now THAT’s what they did in the 90’s!)
Wow you guys are really getting worked up over this UMPC…DAAAAAAAAMN!!
Would help if this guy would stop gushing and creaming and focus on the review. Take a cold shower man!
HTC defineetly has the hottest mobile devices out. I really have to get my hands on an advantage since the shift is not availble yet.
from wht ive seen the shift is a watered down Advantage
There is no phone function with the Shift.
