  • Abstract:  HTC have made a name for themselves with capable, business-friendly smartphones, and when back in March 2007 they first suggested they were turning their hand to the UMPC market there was no shortage of interest. Boasting full Windows Vista support, as...

  • Abstract:  I’m going to keep this pretty short just because the unit is like, uh, almost identical to the GSM one we tore apart and reviewed a little while back. The HTC Shift is coming stateside, as you all know by now. It’s going to be available starting today,...

  • While this isnt a true mobile-phone/lapto hybrid (it doesnt have mobile-phone capability), the HTC Shift is a great, but mighty expensive mini-notebook built for business and data-centric tasks. The high price tag may be appropriate for business use...

  • Includes Sprint WWAN; strong performance for a UMPC; multitude of input options; display toggles between two resolutions; sliding display reveals QWERTY keyboard; useful dashboard and Origami Experience software.
  • Far too expensive; short battery life when running Windows; tiny keyboard makes typing awkward; unremovable leather folio; loud fan.
  • The HTC Shifts small size raises some usability issues, and its battery life doesnt match what wed expect from such a portable device. However, our primary complaint about the Shift is its remarkably high price.

  • Abstract:  In a perfect world, a single device would serve as both your laptop and smartphone. The , the Motorola Q, and the many flavors of BlackBerry are terrific smartphone platforms, but they are far from laptop replacements. By the same token, laptops arent...

  • Push e-mail. Can shift between two operating systems. Multiple wireless options. Svelte design. Convertible tablet. QWERTY keyboard. Slim and light.
  • Lacks voice capabilities. Slow UMPC parts. Touch screen is not as nice as a Wacom-enabled screen. Too expensive. Uncomfortable stylus. Wi-Fi throughput was less than spectacular. RAM is not upgradable.
  • The HTC Shift is part smartphone, part tablet, and part laptop, but it doesnt really excel as any of those things....

  • Sharp and responsive touchscreen, Can access push e-mail without booting Windows, Excellent Origami 2.0 Web browser, Built-in EV-DO
  • Cramped keyboard, Sluggish CPU, Short battery life, Weak Wi-Fi range
  • The Shift X9000 is a valiant first effort from HTC. It provides the best surfing experience of any UMPC, and we prefer the design of this device to both the OQO model 02 (whose smaller 5-inch display requires a fair amount of zooming) and the Samsung Q...

  • The HTC Shift is by far the best UMPC to date, but its still lacking in a number of areas. ...

  Published: 2008-03-12, review by: mobiletechreview.com

  • Abstract:  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 key...

  • Abstract:  Besides the long list of people that waited and waited for the HTC Shift to finally be released, any BGR reader will know our own personal fascination with it. Considering how much we’ve craved, wished, hoped, and wanted, we’re going to take you into a...
