At the 2008 GSMA Mobile World Congress, HTC announced the first availability of the HTC Shift. HTC Shift combines the power of Windows Vista and Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 with always-connected 3G/HSDPA connectivity that features true push email with up to 3 days of battery life.

Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 enables improved access and consumption of content through the addition of a new finger-friendly browser, RSS Reader and media player. It also includes Origami Now which gives users one-touch access to the information that’s important to them, including e-mail, calendar, weather and to-do lists on one screen that changes according to the time, the day and even their current location.

We tend to shy away from providing specific shopping advice, as there are already plenty of sites that can take care of you. That said, when a deal like this comes along, we’re happy to spread the news. Woot.com has the Sony UX390 Premium on sale for a cool $1,299. For those that don’t know, the UX390N Premium is, bar none, one of the hottest UMPCs on the market. While we tend to lean towards the OQO Model 02 due to its integrated 3G radio, we think the Sony UX390N is a very, very close second. This is a $2,000 computer, sporting a 1.33 Ghz processor, Windows Vista Business Ultimate, 1GB of RAM, 32GB solid state flash hard drive, 4.5″ touchscreen, and onboard EDGE radio, among many other features. The only real difference between this model and the current UX490N is that the 490 sports a 48GB SSD. These things usually go pretty fast, so if you’re interested we suggest that you head over pretty soon and hit that “buy” button.

It looks a lot like the LG enV or the Nokia E90, but its nothing like either of those. It flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, a D-Pad, and a larger screen than the external one.

It runs Windows Mobile 6 Pro and has both 3G and WiFi connectivity option. The 3G comes in the HSDPA flavor and should keep things speedy. There is also a 3.2MP cam somewhere on the device, presumably on the back.
