It is disappointing about the screen rez as well as the possibility that the WM6 side may not have Mobile office apps loaded. The Shift has some amazing potential. I am confused about the touch capability. Is the Shift screen not touch already ??? HTC please listen to you customers. 1. Higher rez screen. 2. Touch screen with option for Wacom pen. 3. WM6 Full Edition with access to the device hard drive. 4. Some way for WM6 & Outlook on the Vista side to sync or share Contacts, Mail, Calendar & Task. Keep up the good work HTC.

Finally, an unbiased preview of the Shift! Thanks, Kaz!

It had so much promise but it looks like its DOA .. the sub standard 800x480 .. lack of a proper WM6 install.

I would have bought this but no way now ..

The big question remains what difference will exist between the prototype that is being tested by members of the community versus the real thing that will be announced in another week or so. Hopefully, HTC will wisen up to the consumer demand and progress of the market in terms of video resolution and SSD. Also, it just doesn't make any sense to have WM6 without any of the features of the platform, so hopefully the real thing will have the full version.

Everybody has to hold their breath for a week to get the answers.

Yes Richard I do hope that I'm wrong.. HTC do seem to be avoiding the issue Steve(chippy) has been asking the HTC about the res and hasn't got a reply yet ..

Well then, it seems to me that HTC is already aware of the issues and opinions of the user community, their eventual customers. Perhaps they will bring a welcome surprise at this Gitex.
