Check this updated article from Dec. 9th, 2010.....now...I may get this....was not going to get it if it did not have a front facing camera....for real.....we would all be charged the $10 fee....and Sprint wants to keep in the EVO family....they need to give us more.....and I have been waiting 4-ever for a keyboard.....finally....and all those articles that said no front facing camera.....well...read for urself!!!!!
Annnd not getting an epic anymore lol
and apart from the size of the display there seems little to distinguish the two, except for the possibility of the new version of Android.

Exactly! Was planning on switching to sprint in jan. This is just in time. Just what I wanted. I do not want a behemoth to carry arround. My nexus one with 3.7 screen is perfect size. All I missed was a slide out keyboard and front facing cam.
One other thing I like to consider though. Which will be more likely to have future OS versions ported? I dont bother on relying on sprint/samsung/htc for updates. I am asking about difficulty for devs. A big reason I was considering the epic is that the nexus s came out running the same platform, which made me think porting new OS releases would relatively easy. Is the shift likely to get new releases faster since it is an HTC product? I know it is impossible to know anything but what are your guy's thoughts on this right now?

Err, not sure if this is sarcasm, as beyond exaggeration it is false. You imply the shift has a slower CPU. Dont count mhz. The second gen snapdragon in the shift will certainly outperform the evo without question and with 45nm tech get better batt life to boot. I agree the Evo is not sluggish though. Which means the shift will be even better. Maybe you just need to ditch sense?
As for screen size that is not a downgrade. It is user preference. I like a nice compact device, not a brick.
Same thing with keyboard. I like getting real work done on my handset. KB is very effective.
If you already know this and were joking I apologize . If you were serious you should really rethink your position and recognize that different things suit different people (the CPU issue however is clear cut that the shift is superior).
Cheers!
Those of you who do decide to buy the Shift might be disappointed come June when the true successor to the Evolution drops.

Honestly, if your EVO is that bad then you either have a bad device, or you've done something horribly wrong, in which case.. you shouldn't worry about owning a smartphone.. stick to the flips.

Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.
I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.
Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.

Yes. Yes you are.
The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.
But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.
If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.
Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?
First impressions can kill...........
It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.

I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.
I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.
EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.
The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.
. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.

I'm pretty sure we're going to get all of that, but adding 3d is just something to help differentiate and spice up the EVO...I suppose.
I really don't see a practical use for it, but we never know. I remember when cameras were first introduced to' cell phones and a lot of people didn't see the practicality, but now look at how big they've become.
I'm sure we'll find something useful for 3d, assuming it works well.

I think it will be.. from what I seen (very little mind you) the 3D phones aren't like 3D when you go to the movies... It's definitely just a "wow that's cool" sorta thing.
If it is something that is forced on you without the ability to turn it off.. then it may not be as appealing to me at all.
Side note, I wonder how the devs are gonna tackle this technology once it gets rooted.

I have an EVO and I'm switching. Don't get me wrong. I love my EVO to death and have had a blast with it. What I'm switching to the NS for is the Screen, battery life, and updates. I like the EVO screen but the SuperAMOLED screen is clearer and smaller to a size that I like better. 4.3" is too big for me to carry in my pocket. Battery life also. I have an extended battery and don't like the added bulk plus you add a case on top of that? It's just not comfortable for me. Updates is self explanatory.
I love the EVO but I gotta move onto something that fits me better. I'm passing the EVO to my mother who has my old Hero now. She needs something else to cause everyone knows the Hero is well behind standards now. I'll be following up here still. Once that Snap v9 kernel comes out, you can bet I'll be first one to get it!
I personally would love to have one but I want to see how the community welcomes it. I know it's stock android and some people love that but I just want to be sure there will be some steady developers on it. I really hope sense can be ported to it. It's obvious the phone is better than the evo spec wise but I will really miss Sense if I leave the Evo.
Size, speed and updates make it worth it all alone.
My g/f pre-ordered the Nexus S 4G and she was the first one in my area to pre-order it (at least in that particular store.) I'm excited for her to get it and see how it stacks up against my Evo. I know being pure Android it's going to get the updates before anybody else. I also want to see how the screen is.

I'll probably be switching. The look up comparison videos and you'll see how much better the screen is.. Plus faster updates and newer hardware. The specs are the same number wise but the ns is a superior piece of hardware

We still have new roms coming. we have the Kingdom rom and the Bliss rom will be coming soon to and when ICS is released we will get that too. The shift is not close to being low active. I for one will probably keep using my shift for another 6 months to a year depending if a phone i really like comes out
I've been due for my upgrade for about three months . Not planning to get rid of my Shift for a long time . This phone has proven to me time and again it's ability to perform. Soon as someone gets an OC kernel going, it's game on . IMO the Shift is very underated.

I don't know if you guys have read this but I thought I would post it up here to share. Apparently the EVO Shift is reaching End of life along with the white version of the EVO 3D.

This does sadden me a bit, I love the Shift and even using the 3D now I always keep the little guy with me.

EOL? GOOD! So what's next?
Shift 2 I hope.
Well I wouldn't close the coffin just yet. The EVO Shift has plenty of life in it still.
According to that article the shift is already eol the end of last week... Which was kind of expected, seeeing how htc totally butt ****ed ics by adding the typical htc sense bloat****... I have my doubts, because there is an evo3d on the list that's supposedly being eol'd... It has only been out 7-9 mos... Evo3d is a flagship phone and although it wasnt as popular as sprint had wished, im actually very surprised if that list is indeed true...
Edit: is the evo3d sprints new samsung moment? Lmao!

Boo, it's true, the Shift is no longer an option for buying/upgrading (on Sprint's website).
But, with a proper ICS rom, the Shift should still be kickin' a year or two from now. Here's to hoping the successor will be just as awesome (maybe with HDMI/DP out capabilities?).

Only the White Evo3d is on the eol. Not the Black one, that one is still going strong
This makes me LOL! The same thing happens with all smart phones. When their flagship phones don't sell as much like drob331 said, they tend to pull other devices off the shelvs first in hope that people will upgrade. The same thing happened with the G1/Mytouch. People continued to buy G1's and Mytouch's even after they were no longer available, from places like from ebay and other places. They were still great first generation devices!

Yea of course, just because the shift is reaching EOL doesn't mean anything changing here on xda, ebay, or anywhere else. It's just an extra tag sprint has given it. Yet I still view as a little saddening as the shifts power was under estimated.

I would kill for a Shift 2 to be released! Let's just hope that happens, but maybe with a bigger screen this time...after using a 4.3 inch screen I can't ever go back. Maybe at least 4in for the Shift 2
Shift 2 with a Dual Core Processor, 4 Inch Screen, and the new Tech Battery that's 35% Thinner with more capacity. Or maybe dare we dream the screen that has Solar Charging capability. Hey I can dream.

Same here.
I think I would've been fine with the shift for another year, but the moment I got the EVO I couldn't stand the slower speed, and i couldn't go back to the small screen so I went with the 3D I guess you can call me a band wagoner LOL. Shift is still my favorite device though
