The HTC Shift: a Laptop in a Smartphone’s Body
By Dean • Sep 4th, 2008 • Category: HTCWith the HTC Shift you won’t have to shift to any other smartphone, because this model will satisfy all of your smartphone needs. The HTC Shift is a remarkable looking specimen, and is just as sleek as HTC’s other high-profile creations like the HTC Touch Pro, Touch Cruise, or Touch Diamond.
Of course, there is more to the Shift than its stylish and dazzling black exterior. The HTC shift is a third generation mobile phone, so the user can utilize both 2G (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900), as well as 3G (HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100) network, which is especially helpful. The phone also enables users to click snapshots of anything of interest, thanks to its integrated VGA camera.
When you talk of a 7 inch display, most people would think you are talking about mini-laptop or netbook. It’s practically impossible to even conceive of a mobile phone with a 7 inch diagonal display, yet the HTC Shift has made this uncertainty a reality. The HTC Shift comes with a mega 7 inch touch screen display, and does so elegantly, without turning the phone itself into a bulky, and hulking monstrosity. The display also delivers an impressive 800 x 480 pixels resolution.
Some other incredible smart attributes include 1GB of RAM, 128 MB of Read Only Memory, either a 40 or 80 GB of hard drive, and a 800 MHz Intel Stealey processor. All of these specifications would easily be standard for a laptop, or even a computer, but for a mobile phone they are beyond incredible. The HTC Shift is less a smartphone and more a laptop. So if you are looking for all the power and ability of a laptop in the palm of your hand, then the Shift might be the perfect choice.
