NEW pix / Evo Shift 4G in the wild!

[igotsanevo4g]

Engadget caught some pictures of this bad boy, and sad to hear. It does NOT have a FFC. This may turn alot of people away from it, but hey think realistically about how many times you actually use the dang thing if you have one. I hardly ever do, if i do its for S!9t's and giggles.

Here is the source link too engadget and the pics. - HTC EVO Shift 4G in the wild! -- Engadget

And few of em here.

I think it looks pretty slick, ill definately consider stealing a family members upgrade for it. Or maybe wait until summer, who knows.

How about y'all?

I'm looking forward to seeing it and playing with it. Looks sharp.

god damn i was right about to post that
that D-pad looks crazy, huh?

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

I think the d-pad is a gimmick.

I told you guys it wasn't gonna have a FFC.

I think its sexy. I wish my evo had one, i hate pecking -.-

Yeah yeah, you kill dreams we get it

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

I have a trackpad, and I guess it's useful. I guess when I hear d-pad I think gaming and forget about cursor movement. LOL

Want another dream killed? The shift won't have a AMOLED display.

^ Youre right. Its gonna have a SLCD
hahahahaa

Which I honestly believe is better than SAMOLED any day of the week.

What makes you say that?

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

I think SAMOLED is over saturated. I've also seen some reports that it's not very battery efficient when it's on.

SLCD seems more natural to me. Colors seem more accurate, and sunlight readability is as good as it gets.

Hate to say it, but Apple did it right going with an IPS LCD display. So did Motorola. HTC went with the next best thing (but 99% as good) with SLCD.

There is also some argument about the sharpness of text with AMOLED (super or not) because of the layout of the pixels. It's an inherent difference between the two technologies.

 

[igotsanevo4g]

^ Sounds fancy, and good. Hell all of those technologies sound good.

I still think my TFT LCD isnt half bad... lol

so I see where it says "seemingly no front camera" but i dont see the specs saying that. just earlier today, "official" specs were found that did have it with the ffc. i'm so confused.

The pictures of the real device lead everyone to believe that it does NOT have a FFC. Engadget and AC would've mentioned that in the write ups.

 

[harpstar]

There are no official specs on this thing. The specs will be official when HTC/Sprint release them. Until then all we have are some photos and speculation.

I will never understand why people make absolute statements in regard to information that has not been released. At this point we can say that there doesn't appear to be a FFC or it will most likely have a 3.7" screen.

Check your ego. Pretending that you know something as fact when you don't doesn't impress anyone.

 

[sweetmonster457]

so when do u think we will hear for sure? thursday morning, the first day of CES?
