this shows that sprint has a few tricks up its sleeve and isnt completely down and out for the count.. jus give sprint time and it will be back up there

And the $1,500 sticker says?: "OWWWWWWWWWW-ch!"

Really, HTC goofed here with price & battery life. Sprint would be better off with an EEE PC Wimax or EVDO bundle.

Not supposed to. Its a UMPC... (ie. a minature Tablet PC)

yeah, but my point is sprint apparently has big plans for the future.. and with a device like that.. im sure its performance will make up for that crazy a** price.. well at least i hope so

I was hoping back when it was codenamed the Clieo...

Here's a 1st post quote from the MoDaCo link, in the article you posted.

I like my Shift. It has some obvious failings (such as the pretty horrible battery life) and also the 'crippled' Snapvue, which is really a locked down Windows Mobile 6 with bits removed.

But still, its sweet we're getting CDMA love for this.

lets try to be a little more optimistic here.. remember when the touch was out overseas?? it had horrible reviews... an once sprint got ahold of it, they make a LOT of upgrades.. (and one fatal mistake by removing wifi) but regardless.. id assume that sprint will take care most of the lacking issues with it

How can you be optimistic when it was Sprint and not HTC who removed great features that you can get on a basic phone (MMS, Youtube access, etc). Sorry I'm just kind of having trust issues with Sprint when it involves any WM devices.

sorry, but OQO has the better tablet PC with built in mobile broadband access plus Vista Professional, AND it's worth the 2 grand plus over a simple UMPC that has windows mobile 6 in it.
