I think this is a Portuguese site that’s got hold of a prototype HTC Shift and given it a very good 5-day test. There are some nice images and the translation reveals a few interesting things. Firstly, only HSDPA is accessible via the Windows Mobile component and secondly, there are some elements of Windows Mobile hidden away. This could bring hope to those that want to run a browser, media player or simply input text for 11 hours on one battery charge!
The reviewer comments on the screen to saying that “all who have had the opportunity to assess, the HTC Shift will leave them flabbergasted.” (A useful translation to remember if you ever go to Portugal no doubt!) They also think that the screen is good at 1024×600. I’m glad its not just me that thinks that.
No word on battery life I’m afraid but its a very good read, even in translated form. The HTC Shift is due to ship within the next three weeks. (Expansys, sister company to a large HTC distributor, are still quoting 6th November)
