"Where once you traded productivity for portability, now there is no need for compromise. Powerful enough to run Microsoft Windows Vista® on a large touch screen, the HTC Shift delivers functional clout in a sleek, lightweight design. With the optimum blend of portability and functionality, HTC SnapVUE™ provides instant and easy access to critical information, such as your emails, calendar, SMS and contacts – even if the device is not switched on. There’s now no need to power up just to check your emails. High-speed, always-on connectivity provides the ultimate in productivity and highest fidelity experience, no matter where you are. The expansive 7-inch touch sensitive screen slides and tilts to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, providing you with an uncompromised PC environment while working on the move."

Since the public unveiling of the HTC Shift many months ago, geeks and gadget lovers around the world have breathed a collective cry of "oohs" and "aahs" without even knowing the specs... because you know, that's what geeks and gadget lovers love to do. But hey, why am I talking in the third person? I'm in that crowd, and so are you. You wanted the specs? Here they are: Intel Stealey 800MHz CPU, Qualcomm MSM 7200 400MHz CPU, 1GB RAM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a 40GB or 60GB HDD, VGA CMOS camera for video telephony, a microphone, stereo speakers, USB 2.0, VGA-out, an SDIO slot, a fingerprint sensor, a 7" 800 x 480 slide-and-tilt touch screen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a MicroPad and accompanying mouse buttons, and Windows Vista Business.
The Shift also includes HTC SnapVUE technology which provides instant access to your PIM data without ever powering up the device. With that in mind, its 2700mAh Li-ion polymer battery offers a meager 2 hours of operating time in Vista, 53 hours SnapVUE standby time with push e-mail enabled, and 11 days without. Want one? You only have a month to wait!
