Yeah dudes, we actually have the HTC Shift in hand! We haven’t had a chance to put it through our normal tests yet, but believe we’ll have that soon. The Shift isn’t as big as you’d think even though it has a 7" screen, and the while the slide mechanism is not spring-assisted like the AT&T Tilt, it’s pretty smooth and solid. The low processor freaks us out a little bit, but again, we haven’t really used it yet. Hit the jump for the full unboxing gallery, and we’ll have our full review up soon! Oh yeah…we’re in the "giving" mood. You know what that means!

    Please make sure that you test all the functionalities of the device so that HTC stands no chance to sell again a crippled device like they did with the Tytn II and others.
    Every single test is important, we have to make sure that no one else is fooled by the corporate greed.

    If you give I would gladly receive.

    My Tilt would love some companionship too.

    Ultra-mobile professional and grad student seeks UMPC for discrete relationship. My laptop at home doesn’t need to know about our classroom trysts. Sure, your processor may not be as fast as others, but I can love you nonetheless.
