HTC Evo Shift 4G (Sprint) review
Debuting just before CES 2011, the HTC Evo Shift 4G is Sprint's third 4G smartphone and also the most affordable one in its lineup. At $149.99 with a two-year contract, it's $50 less than the Samsung Epic 4G and the HTC Evo 4G and sure, the cheaper...
The HTC Evo Shift 4G has a solid design with a comfortable physical keyboard. The Android 2.2 smartphone is 4G capable and can be used as a mobile hot spot.
Lacks a front-facing camera and HDMI port.
For those who crave a physical keyboard, the HTC Evo Shift 4G is a solid choice with a more wallet-friendly price than its 4G competitors, and it doesn't sacrifice too many features.

HTC EVO Shift 4G
The flood of 4G phones at CES 2011 started with the HTC EVO Shift 4G ($150 with a two-year contract from Sprint). Available starting on January 9, the Shift 4G is a follow-up to last year's popular HTC EVO 4G, the first 4G phone on Sprint's WiMax...
Solid performance ; Affordable 4G phone
4G coverage isn't consistent ; No front-facing camera
4G goes mainstream with the HTC EVO Shift, an inexpensive Android smartphone with a full-QWERTY keyboard.

Review: Sprint Sprint HTC EVO Shift
Anonymously texting your friends and colleagues with vulgar messages is quite amusing. Sprint Sprint HTC EVO Shift 5/10 Learn How We Rate Wired : Slide-out...
Slide-out QWERTY keyboard is a texter’s dream. Software is stable and fast. The sharp screen makes reading tiny text easy. Smaller form factor sits better in your jeans
Keyboard is tough to operate single-handed. One wimpy camera means no videoconferencing. Battery life is less than awesome. Puny 2-GB microSD card is an affront to all that’s decent and wholesome

HTC EVO Shift 4G (Sprint) Review
The HTC EVO Shift 4G is a powerful, less costly alternative to the EVO 4G on Sprint, and gives hardware keyboard fans another choice besides the Samsung Epic 4G.

HTC EVO Shift 4G (Sprint)

HTC EVO Shift 4G Review
After given the prestigious title of being the “first” of many things, the HTC EVO 4G has clearly raised the bar on Sprint's lineup with its vast arsenal of features and top notch performance. Attempting to discretely differentiate itself from that,...

HTC EVO Shift 4G Review: A Magnificant Mobile Messager
The EVO Shift is available now from Sprint for $150 with a two year voice and data plan. Without the contract it's price is $400
Good keyboard ; 4G wireless data ; Decent battery life
Weak Adobe Flash support
Just keep in mind though, turning on 4G WiMAX is a serious drain. And if you use the EVO Shift as a 4G hotspot so that WiMAX and Wi-Fi are on at the same time, you'd better have this smartphone plugged in
