Hmm, I don't speak German or French (can't read them either) but both Expansys links had what looked like some clarification making me think Expansys changed their website since you posted the links:

Verfügbarkeit: fällig ab Montag 3.März
Disponibilité: Arrivage prévu Lundi 3 Mars

Could that mean something along the lines of Arriving Monday, March 3...?

This is getting even more ridiculous than it has been.

well some fresh news....
I have been to a store (in Belgium) and ask them if the shift was arrived .. and guess what ? The answer was not the same as usual .. here what he have said : "there are 3 orders and 1 for a client, 2 for the stock" ... WELL WELL WELL.... and for when ? ... "during january but we have no precise date" .... mmh.... I could order one but it's a little too early.

the offical distributor of htc germany tells me, in the begining of march. so I think the forecast of expansys (what is not the offical distri) is right... Some countries in Europe (not germany) starts a few days before with selling the shift. :-)

so we waiting. I hope we can enable phone capatibilities and GPS features.

Pre-Prod model of shift is very unstable and not well built. Booting takes ages...

Hope they will fix that!

booting takes 2-3 minutes I have read on a nice review... but the issue is resuming .. resuming takes about 5 minutes or even more ... I'm not completely sure about the exact time of both .. but if I remember well it was something like that.

The review was written by Hugo Ortega from GottaBeMobile.com and he has said something like "booting time is good but resuming time is horrible".

Some testers have had issue with the SnapVue .. but everything was a year ago .. so be sure that HTC has fixed everything, the Shift @ CES2008 was excessively well working .. so you don't need to worry too much

Hi, I had bid on a HTC Shift on eBay but it has only 20G HDD instead of 40G/60G. Is it possible since all website said it has 40G or 60G HDD. Did they change the spec? OR the guy on eBay is scamming people.
