It seemed like forever before HTC released the Shift, and then it was initially only available in Europe, leaving all of here in the US to sit back, drool and continue to hope and wait. Well good news for anyone that was holding their breath on this one, that wait is now over and the Shift is officially available here in the US.

The features remain the same and include a 7-inch touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, 800 Mhz processor, 1GB RAM, a 40GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE along with HSDPA/UMTS.

Sadly the same factor that limits the desire for owning the Shift in Europe will be the same for potential US customers, the price is more than a lot of standard laptops. The HTC Shift will retail for a little more than $1600.
