HTC Shift Released in Canada

- Matt Faulkner

HTC ShiftLooks like those Canadians are getting a taste of the Shift now.  Gadgetell is reporting that Rogers Wireless is now bringing the Shift to all the Canadians now.

Interesting to point out is that Rogers is saying they are going to enable the GPS unit within 3 months of release!

I would still REALLY like to test one of these out for a couple of weeks.  It's still up in the air right now, but I might have to fall into the 'corp Dell machine' for work soon.  (Yes, I'll still have my Tablet PC around - and I am trying to talk them into a M700) I think that if I have to go to that (Dell D830) as my 'main' work machine that the HTC Shift might just solve my problems when I go mobile.  So - If anybody has one that is sitting on their shelf not being used - shoot me an e-mail and I'll take good care of it for a couple of weeks so it's not feeling so lonely :-).

I owned a UK Shift for a coupe of weeks and really wanted to like it. I was interested in getting a full WM6 experience with a good keyboard and of course full Vista. Well, I eventually felt there were too many compromises. It wasn't comfortable to work on, impossible to ink, no screen rotation for reading pdfs and of course, the well publicized poor battery life.

There's still plenty hacking activity going on over at XDA Developers but I ended up with a P1610 refurb and I'm much happier. Using my M700 for work and short trips with the P1610 for flights/train journeys and traveling light.
