Elusive HTC Shift Available Feb 19 - 21?

- Sierra Modro

GBM reader Gavin Miller sent us a link to Register Hardware, where they claim the HTC Shift will actually go on sale at Expansys.com on Feb 19. Expansys is a UK based retailer who also sells in the US. (The former MobilePlanet.com now links to Expansys USA.)

Checking the US site, it appears the device will actually be $1669.95 for the European version, with an availability date of Feb 21. The "US version" still has no dates attached to it. Could it be that the winner of Warner's InkBlot Award for "The Potentially Most Exciting UMPC We've Ever Seen But The Excitement Is Fading With Each Passing Day" will see the light of day?? Will anyone still care, one year after its announcement, and at that price point?

This is just nuts. I own a Fujitsu P1610 that can be had for this price with twice the processor speed, twice the memory and a USB high speed wireless modem. If I really care about weight, I carry my HTC Advantage 7501 and I don't still need to bring a phone too.

It's much more expensive than I thought.
If I'm not wrong, few weeks ago, the shift was around 1200€ on this same website!!
what happened?

First shipment expected on February 18th here : http://www.dynamism.com/htc-shift/pricing.shtml

Wow, that's a crazy price point! My tablet pc didn't even cost that much 2 years ago! And my Nokia N800 was only $400. No thank you unless it does laundry and dishes too... then we might talk. Until then, that's insane.
