So Mr. Hugo Ortega over at Gottabemobile got the HTC Shift for about 60 hours to use in a presentation and, for the reason we are here now, to review it. What does he think about it? In a nutshell, he loves it.
So what does this UMPC have going for it that others don’t? First it does double duty as both a PDA and a UMPC. It does so by having two separate processors and corresponding OS’s that it can switch between with the touch of a button. The first is a Qualcomm 400MHz processor that powers the Windows Mobile 6 OS, in this mode the battery will last almost a week. However, push the button and switch on the Intel processor at 800MHz and Windows Vista Business, and the battery life is drastically cut to a mere 3 hours.
Video after the jump.
Other features include WLAN, Bluetooth, 1.3 Megapixel webcam, finger scanner, HSDPA, 40GB HDD, and up to 1GB DDR2. So far there isn’t a US release date or a price, but I sure hope it hits stateside, and soon.

First off, seriously, stfu and get to the review. It goes on WAY too long in the beginning of how excited he is. That’s nice, now shut up.
Secondly, how can you be biased when you are doing a review of a product you have been using and love? If you love it, there has to be a reason you love it, right? So you’ll probably go into why you think it is so good. Hence…the review.
