HTC Shift
Editors' rating
Average
5.5
out of 10
- The good: 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.
- The bad: Far too expensive; short battery life when running Windows; tiny keyboard makes typing awkward; unremovable leather folio; loud fan.
- The bottom line: The HTC Shift's small size raises some usability issues, and its battery life doesn't match what we'd expect from such a portable device. However, our primary complaint about the Shift is its remarkably high price.
