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 ...
Tons
Tons and tons of features
More like a computer than a phone
Large
Easy to use keyboard
Push e-mail. Can shift between two operating systems. Multiple wireless options. Svelte design. Convertible tablet. QWERTY keyboard. Slim and light.
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.
Sharp and responsive touchscreen
Can access push e-mail without booting Windows
Excellent Origami 2.0 Web browser
Built-in EV-DO
Cool design idea. We like the 3G networking on Sprints EV-DO.
Powerful
Versatile
Beautiful screen
Builtin CDMA WWAN radio
Which lets you access Sprints data network when out of WiFi range. Microsoft Origami software offers a decent touchscreen experience.
Expansion
Including a bundled USB hub.
The editors didn't like
Performance underwhelming with Windows Vista
Short battery life
Pricey
Terrible camera
Runs Windows Vista
Screen resolution too small for some
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.
Far too expensive
Short battery life when running Windows
Tiny keyboard makes typing awkward
Unremovable leather folio
Loud fan.
Cramped keyboard
Sluggish CPU
Weak Wi-Fi range
Design contradicts portability and convenience. Input methods are still difficult to use. Long time waking from sleep.
Very expensive
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.
Lightweight; able to run normal Windows applications; multiple connectivity options; handwriting recognition software works great.
SnapVUE has limited features; Qwerty keyboard is too small and difficult to type on.

So before cool people had their iPads and Surfaces, way cooler people were rocking a portable full-Windows computer on their bags and purses (Take that Windows RT!) VGA port, USB slot and pen support too! (take that Galaxy Note!)But with every cool thing,...
Abstract: Big budget and limited table space?Consider this machine. This 40GB touchscreen beauty runs on Windows and promises to churn for two days straight without losing steam.This gizmo is a multi-tasker - tilt the screen and it morphs into a laptop, flatten ...
The HTC Shift goes all out with the inclusion of Microsofts Origami Experience 2.0 and brings UMPC designs up a notch with a touch of sophistication. More importantly, the addition of HTCs SnapVUE interface gives business executives who value battery...
connectivité sans fil complète dont HSDPA, compacité, clavier Azerty complet et ergonomie générale, SnapVUE ( échange des mails et des sms, agenda, sans lancer Windows)
puissance plombée par Windows Vista, autonomie, une seule prise USB, pas de prise Ethernet, prix
Appartenant à la famille UMPC ( Ultra mobile PC ou Origami) conçue par Microsoft, le HTC Shift est taillé pour accéder à Internet et échanger des mails (presque) partout, grâce à une connectique sa...

Abstract: Le HTC Shift est sans doute un des meilleurs UMPC du marché. Il possède un grand écran, une excellente finition et un clavier parfaitement utilisable. Il nest pas pour tout le monde car son prix de 1200€ le place essentiellement pour les professionnel...
